(62,325 posts)He knows that across the globe people are objecting to this secret agreement knowing how other Trade Deals have so negatively affected their lives. He knows that many of those of us who helped get him elected, object to secret Trade Deals because WE know how negatively they have affected people everywhere, other than Corporations.
Iow, he is hearing from millions, maybe even billions of people whose reactions are negative to this secret deal, including from members of his OWN PARTY, elected Members. People who represent US who are merely asking to be ALLOWED TO SEE what is being discussed on an extremely important issue that will affect all of our lives.
And he dismisses ALL THOSE PEOPLE, and I hate to say it, but in an arrogant way implying that only those at the very top UNDERSTAND these things. Billions of people are too ignorant to 'understand' all of this! Really? Maybe if he met with some ordinary people rather than Corporate Ceos on a regular basis he would be surprised at much they 'understand'.
I wonder how those Democrats feel about being called CTs? Is it possible for a MAJORITY of people on the planet to be CTs while only a few privileged people actually KNOW the facts? It makes no sense at all.
All they have to do is release their plans so the people can decide AFTER SEEING this secret deal, who is right and who is wrong.
We have seen some of it, thanks to Wikileaks and after reading some of it, I can see why they want to keep it all 'secret'.
