Tune in to Meet the Press with Chuck Todd, Sundays on NBC News Trump Clashes with Big Business Wed, 29 Jun 2016 12:26:00 GMT From NBC's Chuck Todd, Mark Murray and Carrie Dann Maybe the most remarkable part of Donald Trump's anti-trade speech yesterday was the reaction from Republican-leaning big-business groups. "Setting Things Straight: NAFTA has NOT been a disaster for the U.S.," tweeted the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has doled out millions upon millions of dollars to GOP candidates over the last few years. The president of the National Association of Manufacturers added, "@realDonaldTrump you have it backward. Trade is GOOD for #mfg workers & #jobs. Let's #MakeAmericaTradeAgain." There is no doubt that Trump is making a play for some Bernie Sanders supporters ("The people who rigged the system are supporting Hillary Clinton because they know as long as she is in charge nothing will ever change," Trump said yesterday). But by doing so, he's making a break with the modern Republican Party -- Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush were all for free trade; so are most Republicans currently serving in Congress. Bottom line: Yesterday's speech by Trump was something that no Republican presidential nominee in the last 60 years would have delivered. Click for more.
