I don't think he was "right" because he spoke about it dishonestly.
There's winners and losers with free trade and there's winners and losers with tariffs. You have to acknowledge that to help the losers.
But sometimes blunt actions move us in the right direction - shaking up the trade relationship here was the right move.
He should have also said yes to TPP.
So, partially right I guess.

Yup, this was a big mistake. Allowed the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership to mover forward quicker.
