On Tuesday, I watched live as Donald Trump, presumptive Republican nominee for president, gave a fiery speech laying out his trade agenda. He spoke at an aluminum plant in western Pennsylvania, where his colorful take on the international marketplace (“NAFTA was the worst trade deal in history”) was well-received.

Many aspects of Trump’s unconventional candidacy resonate with dealers — most notably his willingness to thumb his nose at establishment politics and politicians — but some elements are cause for concern. Trump is wrong on trade, and so is his opponent. As AIADA president Cody Lusk wrote in this week’s Automotive News, “The established punching bag of this election cycle isn't just the Washington establishment, it's also international trade.”

Trump and Hillary Clinton seem to be in some kind of bizarre contest to see who can distance themselves farthest from the international marketplace and trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Clinton, who supported TPP in her last job as Secretary of State, now seems to think she could negotiate a better deal. And Trump has promised that under his administration there will be no deal at all.

If Hillary is our rock on trade, Trump is our hard place. And dealers are stuck.

Fortunately, while dealers of international nameplate brands don’t have a presidential candidate supporting our businesses, we do have AIADA. Our association is working overtime to remind politicians and the public that trade has been good for America. Global trade has allowed international auto manufacturers to build 17 manufacturing plants and invest $73 billion in the U.S. It has allowed dealers to open 9,500 franchises and employ over 570,000 Americans with a payroll of $32 billion. It has even allowed manufacturers like Honda and Toyota to export 750,000 American-made cars and trucks to 140 different countries in 2015.

Oh, and NAFTA? The worst trade deal in history? In the four years after it entered into force the U.S. added nearly 800,000 manufacturing jobs.

For international nameplate dealers, trade HAS to be a pivotal issue when we cast our vote. Remember that the imported trucks and SUVs on our lots come with a 25 percent “chicken tax” thanks to a trade war with Europe 50 years ago. If it happened once, it can happen again. What if our next president starts another trade war? What kind of tax might we see on Japanese luxury cars? Or Korean SUVs?

Our presidential candidates are playing a dangerous game on the world stage, and our stores and employees could end up paying the price. While you consider how to vote this November, remember to also give your support to AIADA as we work to change the conversation on trade, and steer our candidates to safer, more prosperous shores.
