"I HEREBY ORDER AMERICAN COMPANIES TO FIND AN ALTERNATIVE TO CHINA!" Commmand of the commander-in-chief. What country can replace China?

So the chump can ORDER how American business operates, what the sources are, how much they pay? Really? I did not know that. He is the major partner in every business? The one with the majority shares? The one that calls all the shots?

    Context is important.  

    "Our Country has lost, stupidly, Trillions of Dollars with China over many years. They have stolen our Intellectual Property at a rate of Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year, & they want to continue," Trump wrote. "I won’t let that happen! We don’t need China and, frankly, would be far better off without them."

    He countinued, "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 your companies HOME and making your products in the USA. I will be responding to China’s Tariffs this afternoon. This is a GREAT opportunity for the United States."

    It is simply good business practice to always be looking for better options.

    If he feels that strongly, why hasn't be brought his manufacturing home from China?  Why doesn't he produce his products here in the U.S.  Why isn't he leading by example?

    Good questions sweetie. I don't know the answer but I can guess that he doesn't give a sh** because it's cheaper labor over there. Thank you for your reply and Happy Friday L :) This post was edited by RosieG at August 24, 2019 5:43 AM MDT

    Trump is more of a "do as I say, not as I do," person.  It's OK for him to produce his goods in China, but everyone else should produce them in the USA.  It's OK for hi to employ undocumented people at his golf resorts, but no one else should.  Happy Friday. :)

    Exactly. He is SPESHUL by any measure. The peculiarly queer thing about that is that all his prodon peeps accept it and believe it! Go figger! Thank you for your reply L! :)

    I try to be. :)  I'm sure there are more than a few of us thinking that.
