Trump: White House Officials are ‘Babies’
New York business mogul Donald Trump on Saturday criticized President Obama’s proposed trade agenda as one that would shortchange American businesses.
“The new trade deal is a disaster,” Trump said at the South Carolina Freedom Summit in Greenville, S.C.
Trump was taking aim at the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The potential free trade agreement would ease economic cooperation between the U.S. and 11 Pacific Rim nations.
“Our leaders are incompetent,” he said of the Obama administration. “They’re babies.”
Trump, a possible 2016 GOP presidential contender, said passing the TPP would incentivize U.S. businesses to ship more of their jobs and products overseas.
Trump charged that his background as a self-made man already presented a stark contrast to typical politicians and their dependency on wealthy special interests.
“I don’t need PACs, I use my own money,” Trump said of political action committees and the fundraising they often perform on behalf of presidential candidates.
The New York businessman closed by urging voters to pick the best candidate for restoring American exceptionalism, even if the name on their ballot was not his.
