Once upon a time a guy named Obama made a beautiful horse drawn wagon , full of luxury , but only for his business friends, not for the common people, and he called it TPP. And he extolled the virtues of his wagon , TPP, and how it would make business people like them rich , while not saying much at all about the poor people who would suddenly find that all the business men had left town and stopped employing them.
But the business men couldn't agree on where to steer their wagon to. Oh they had their leaders, called Japan , and Canada, and Australia, who all wanted to go this way or that , who all spoke for big groups of businesses, but they all wanted to go in different directions.
But , after a while, Obama decided he had family matters to deal with , and had spent way too long with these bickering business men , so he said "I have to go , but I'm going to leave a replacement here, to represent all the business men of my people. Keep up the good work !"
And the new guy was named Trump.
And Trump looked around at all these bickering business men and asked "How long have you been arguing about this ? Years and years ? " And so he climbed down off the wagon , which had been sitting there for years and years going no where, and he went up to the horse that was supposed to pull the wagon.
And he shot the horse in the head, and walked away.
Now the business men didn't like that. They said "It could still work ! We can still ride this wagon and it will be good for our businesses. "
And the other business men looked at him and said "But the horse is dead. "
"It can still deliver ! We just need to give it a little more time. Trust me ! Time will tell on this , you can count on it !"
And they looked at him , and they looked at the dead horse.
And they said "Yeah , we made all sorts of promises , didn't we ? We'd hate to be caught out failing to deliver. All right. We'll give the horse more time. "
And so they stood around looking worried at the dead horse , as blood pooled under neath it, and told every one "It will be a little more difficult , but it's still possible. "
And Trump looked back at them , from the top of a hill , and shook his head in disbelief. And kept on walking away.

I love my parable,
but in the interests of full disclosure , Trump killed the TPP (he claimed) because it was bad for american jobs.
I suspect our boy Trump , who is worth 4.7 billion USD , is more concerned with what business's he owns, and which ones he doesn't , than the common man. And I give evidence of his executive order on the first or second day in office ordering the people operating "Obama Care" (USA health care) to give as few benifits as they possibly can (use every exemption is the phrase he used, but still...stop giving the poor guy a free ride is the intent) .
Of course, one may assume Trump will deny this.
