Donald Trump continued his attack on the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal Tuesday night, this time using what he admitted was harsher language.
Addressing a crowd of supporters in St. Clairsville, Ohio, Trump railed against TPP as "another disaster done and pushed by special interests who just want to rape our country,"
Mediaite reports. "A continuing rape of our country. That's what it is, too. It's a rape of our country."
Trump earlier Tuesday blasted TPP in a more scripted trade speech
in Monessen, Pennsylvania, in which he also called for the United States to either renegotiate or get out of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA.)
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to declare our economic independence once again," Trump said in that speech.
