Trump: Bernie and I Alike on Trade Issues


Sunday, 07 February 2016 12:20 PM EST ET

Don't like the Pacific Rim trade deal that President Barack Obama supports?

Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders don't either, but Trump says only he would be able to "do something about it."

Trump says Sunday on CNN that, "Bernie can't do anything about it, because it's not his thing."

The billionaire developer did not specify what he would do to weaken or cancel the sweeping Trans Pacific Partnership between the U.S. and 11 other nations.

The oddball competition across party lines in New Hampshire is for the state's largest bloc of registered voters — those whose party affiliations are undeclared.

New Hampshire voters go to the polls for the nation's first primary on Tuesday.

And don't expect a one-term pledge from Trump.

He says there are "certain advantages" to such a declaration, but it's not for him.

Trump says if he was "lucky enough to win" the White House and "if we're doing a great job, then we'll keep going."

And if things aren't going so well?

In that case, Trump tells NBC's "Meet the Press," ''we have automatic termination. It's called, the voters will terminate" — the public version of a Trump signature line, "You're fired."

But, the billionaire businessman adds, "That won't happen."
