The POTUS has the bully pulpit and the ability to issue EOs. Again, if Obama had done something like this, the front page of this board would have been littered with civil war and ammo threads. Don't forget - it was received wisdom on here for months that Obama was not going to cede the office after his 2nd term. His illegal 3rd term was just taken for granted in this fever swamp. Something, something...Jade Helm.

He’s commander in chief. We should not be doing business with China. I specially go out of my way to avoid buying anything Chinese. If your a CEO and you are running a factory in China, fine but you are doing business with the enemy. That’s their choice and they’ve been warned.

I don't discount the Poli Board's melt abilities but embargoes are not unprecedented and certainly not worthy of civil war talk.

Thailand and Vietnam are better bets at this point.

Trump intentionally tanking the market with these tweets? Does he tell Mnuchin or any of his hedge-fund buddies beforehand so they can trade on the news?

I'm sorry but a normal person doesn't retweet a tweet saying the jews love him like the king of the Jews and like he's the second coming.
First off the jews killed the king of the jews and aren't looking for a second coming. So the statement is asinine. He could have said, "thanks for the compliment but I'm none of those things Im just doing my best to help our friends Israel"
And I don't blindly follow people. I love his policies. But acting and saying crazy things isn't helping MAGA.
What he is doing is a disservice to all of his supporters that have defended him these last few years. Act like a president. Have self control. Quit acting like a child and blaming everyone else but himself.

So much fricking soy and melt in this thread. Get your collective shite together, pussies.

Does the president have to ability to limit and/or completely prohibit imports from a particular country.
quote:Of course he likes to rile people up, although that's likely giving him too much credit. This is almost always just a tantrum.
Perhaps he could have chosen his words better, but I think he likes to get people riled up with this stuff.
Look, I'm all for the trade war against China. I agree with him mostly on their historic offenses. But I'm not on board with interference. And I am vastly amused/agape at the level of hypocrisy.

He's sure fleshing out the concern trolls, ain't he?
And the flipside of that coin is your adorable unwillingness to ever consider any criticism of him at all to be valid.
You're so angry that someone might not be having a complete conniption fit over this, aren't you?

And he should. These greedy bastards who run these companies do not give a shite about you or anyone else. They will make the adjustment and if they don't screw them. I work for one of these companies who could care less about it's people. We need these greedy companies who left for cheap arse labor to come back or find some other cheap arse labor country.

barry would have never done anything like this because barry was swamp, so your argument is null and void. Thanks for playing though

I don’t think trump is actually ordering anything.
In his usual clumsy way with words, he is basically just imploring companies to do business elsewhere.
We shall see.
