He had some pretty interesting things to say about that today.
Yeah...it can be tough shoving a "health care" act through Congress without anyone even reading it. That took a party line vote to accomplish.
And yeah, it can be tough getting Congress to play along on other crap that always involves the people getting screwed in the end.
But...would he really need to build a coalition to pass a trade agreement that was actually in favor of the U.S.?
Maybe not.
Not saying he could actually achieve that. But he has a point...he does have teams of negotiators that are far above the pay grade of any that President Obama has at his disposal.
And he has dealt with the movers and shakers of the world (he IS one of them).
I'm thinking jobs and prosperity. I think that many others are too

I'm not saying Obama did the right thing. I am simply saying that I feel the republicans were not going to work with him no matter what he did.
Could Trump pass better trade deals? Sure. If he could negotiate deals that were better for the US and helped bring jobs back to the US he could likely get those passed. I'm not so sure he could get the other countries to agree to them. We would have to be willing to give them something in return and that could be a big snag.
it is 30+ years of bad deal making and bad policies that have our economy in a bad way.It will be hard for anyone to dig us out of this.
