Not the best source. As advocates for globalism, thus contrary to the idea of national sovereignty, it is not in the CFR's interest to give Donald Trump a good name.
Either way they are direct quotes or links to the direct quotes from him there.
Here is another one with the same info. But less on foreign policy. If you want to read it.

Or you wont get his outlandish statement and his older stuff but you can go here and read his officially endorsed speeches

Well maybe I'm wrong about him. I just want the best for this country. I mean I certainly know that Hillary isn't the answer either. If I end up giving Trump a vote of confidence (hopefully being the "outsider" that he claims to be) and we end up even worse I will gladly eat crow.

Why does national sovereignty depend on a 35% tariff?

Trump claims that it will discourage businesses from exporting jobs to China for cheaper labor. We're talking about a tariff issued from one country to another, from the US to China, aside from any global agreements like NAFTA that have caused this situation in the 1st place, to bring more money and jobs into the US. National sovereignty, the ability to make decisions of our own that go in our favor.
But go ahead, place your opinion, I respect your opinion on foreign affairs.
Im not trying to talk you out of voting for him or for voting Clinton either. Just wanting to get facts about both out there.

And I appreciate that, I try to keep an open mind about things and I like reading other people's opinions.

Both opening ourselves up to the world and closing ourselves off are decisions that we can make. It's our prerogative. I don't think that choosing to engage with the world through trade is us giving up our national sovereignty.
As far as making stuff in America is concerned. How much more are you willing to spend? How much are you willing to go without because you can't afford it? Yeah, we will get some jobs back but there will be less stuff and it will cost more. That's the flip side.

I'm looking for someone to point the way to my fully-automated future.
Oh, it'll happen. I'm excited to see what post-work future will look like.

Siro brought this up a while back and I think that he is right in that we are going to need to provide a guaranteed basic income when automation becomes ubiquitous.

I don't know what this automation concept is.

whoops.
I dont think you know what the word troll means. Just because people call you that doesnt make it a compliment. A better compliment for Fish would be: Best dude on Jazzfanz or maybe biggest bad *** on Jazzfanz. Eh those are a little cheesy but gives you an idea of compliments you can try out. By the way maybe you should ask someone what troll means before calling someone that who doesnt come close to fitting that definition and embarrassing yourself.
