re: TRUMP just Ordered All US Companies to Seek Alternate Places of Manufacture!

He's just grabbing the headlines. He knows you and I know he can't order this.

Y'all need to un-Nancy yourselves.

Not cool with ANY president telling private business how they have to do business

This was my immediate first reaction. As a conservative capitalist, I am NOT okay with Trump trying to force private businesses to conduct business a certain way. frick that.

And frick any of you diehard kooks on here who will downvote this and gargle Trump's jizz if he told you to. This is NOT cool, democrat or republican. Not cool.

They'll cover this for days.


Just like I said earlier...they are all hyperventilating and it's not even noon yet.

Y'all aren't wrong....but in what way does this benefit Trump?

quote:

I just cannot support the idea that the president can order private entities to do their business in a certain location.

He can't order anyone to do anything. I take it as a strong suggestion even though he said "orders"

Reiterates he is serious to China. Hell, everyone is already taking seriously on here...

Yep. They're getting to him.

It's only noon! Woot

1.) Trump declares his own Federal Reserve chairman to be an “enemy.” Trump was very angry that Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell did not immediately order deep interest rate cuts to combat a potential economic downturn, and the president was not shy about denouncing him in very pointed terms.

“My only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi?” he wrote.

….My only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi?

2.) Trump declares that America will be better off without any economic relationship with China. Even though farmers in Trump-backing Midwestern states have been getting hammered by the president’s trade war thanks to the retaliatory tariffs that China placed on their crops, the president signaled that he now believes America should break off trade with China entirely.

“We don’t need China and, frankly, would be far better off without them,” the president wrote. “The vast amounts of money made and stolen by China from the United States, year after year, for decades, will and must STOP.”

3.) Trump orders American companies to stop manufacturing things in China. Right after declaring that America should end its trade relationship with China, the president followed up by saying that “American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China.”

It is not clear how Trump can order any companies to stop doing business in China, and the president’s own businesses use China to manufacture goods.

….better off without them. The vast amounts of money made and stolen by China from the United States, year after year, for decades, will and must STOP. Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing..

4.) Trump orders postal carriers to search for fentanyl in all packages. In an even stranger tweet, Trump said that he was “ordering all carriers, including Fed Ex, Amazon, UPS and the Post Office, to SEARCH FOR & REFUSE all deliveries of Fentanyl from China (or anywhere else!).”

There is no reasonable way for all postal carriers to search every single package they deliver for fentanyl. Additionally, fentanyl is also often imported through shipping containers, not FedEx envelopes.

….all deliveries of Fentanyl from China (or anywhere else!). Fentanyl kills 100,000 Americans a year. President Xi said this would stop – it didn’t. Our Economy, because of our gains in the last 2 1/2 years, is MUCH larger than that of China. We will keep it that way!

5.) Trump says that journalists are willing to “lose their wealth” if it means a chance to oust him in 2020. The president once again accused the media of leading a conspiracy to drive the American economy into a recession next year, even though he acknowledged that they would also be hurt by this recession.

“The Fake News Media, together with their Partner, the Democrat Party, are working overtime to convince people that we are in, or will soon be going into, a Recession,” the president wrote. “They are willing to lose their wealth, or a big part of it, just for the possibility of winning the Election. But it won’t work because I always find a way to win, especially for the people!”

6.) Trump brags about having overwhelming approval from his own party. The president started off his Friday by tweeting that he has “94% Approval Rating within the Republican Party,” and then added, “Thank you!”

While the president’s approval rating among his own party is indeed strong, his ratings among the broader electorate are far weaker. As of this writing, RealClearPolitics’ average of polls has the president’s approval rating 10 points underwater, while FiveThirtyEight’s average gives him a net approval rating of -12.

94% Approval Rating within the Republican Party. Thank you!

After this ill advised twitter melt, Donald needs a time out to go sit with his train set for a few hours until he calms down.
