ドナルド・トランプ*2がペンシルヴァニア州にてTPP*3をdisる。
いったい、誰が米国を「レイプしたいと思っている」のか。誰なの? ところで、トランプと対決することになるヒラリー・クリントンもオバマ政権の幹部としてTPP推進の先頭に立っていたにも拘らず、今はTPPを支持していないことを明言している*5 。言い出しっぺの米国が始まる前からいち抜けた! しちゃったという例は、歴史を繙いてみれば、ほかにも見つかると思う。
During a rally here a few hours after delivering an uncharacteristically disciplined speech in neighboring Pennsylvania*4, in which he underscored his staunchly protectionist economic positions, Trump, sounding proud of his address, started to repeat the seven-step plan he walked through in the afternoon. One of the steps: withdrawing the United States from the trade deal, known by the acronym TPP."The Trans-Pacific Partnership is another disaster done and pushed by special interests who want to rape our country," Trump said. "Just a continuing rape of our country. That's what it is, too. It's a harsh word -- it's a rape of our country. This is done by wealthy people that want to take advantage of us and that want to sign another partnership."
Trump's opposition to TPP highlights how he stands at odds with many leading Republicans on the issue of trade. The majority of congressional Republicans voted to give President Obama fast-track authority to complete the trade deal. Obama is a vocal backer of TPP.
さて、『ガーディアン』の記事によると、トランプは同じ日にオハイオ州にて反TPPと同時に「拷問」の肯定も宣言していたのだった;
