Dow drops 350 points after Trump orders US companies to look for ‘alternative to China’

The whole purpose of Obama's Trans Pacific Partnership was to find alternatives to China. How is this different?

But the agricorps have undoubtedly made out like bandits, buying up bankrupt farms for pennies on the dollar. And I'm guessing they are also raking in large on those billions in subsidies put in place by the Trump administration. Subsidies which probably require a lot of paperwork, and a lot of time, exactly what will bankrupt farmers, and play right into large corporation's wheelhouse's as they have lawyers on staff to handle paperwork like this.


I would be interested in seeing how much of America's farmland is now owned by foreign entities.

So, Trump's gone socialist. Companies are apparently under the central control of the government.

I bet his base, which hated socialism, suddenly likes socialism. Well, this socialism, because you know, Trump proposed it. :lamo

He's a Fascist and always had authoritarian tendencies. He loves Putin and Kim because he admires dictatorships, as long as he's the dictator.

I just like the "American companies are hereby ordered to..." line. Is there any doubt this guy thinks he's King? Jesus.

Add it to the pile of “can you imagine how these dip****s would have reacted if Obama said it?”

They can't just dump bonds. It doesn't work that way. If the Chinese government begins selling their Treasury holdings, their currency will skyrocket, thereby wrecking their export machine.
 
In the past, there were a number of grown ups who would restrain his crazy tendencies. He's fired those or they left. Now, all he has is acting sycophants, who yes him and are afraid to tell the emperor he has no clothes.

That 25th Amendment is looking better and better.

Just details. The criticism of TPP was that it bound corporations to trade with small producers in small countries that joined first until their available supply was exhausted as opposed to allowing corporations to contract globally for the goods its needs with the suppliers they deemed best for their needs.

This is false.

Oh man, had Obama ordered American companies to do something like that, the Trumpeteers would have exploded.

Within the next few hours, Trump could walk out on the White House lawn and tell reporters he is the best US President in history. The best King of Israel in history. If he weren’t a world leader, everything would be so much worse, so much worse. In fact, he is doing such an incredible job the people in Greenland want to join America, but Denmark, the globalists, and deep state will not let them, and don’t believe the fake news about a coming recession and market. All lies.

I am equally stunned that he thinks he can order USPS, UPS, FedEx etc to search every package from China for fentanyl.

I am also equally stunned that, after 2+ years of this moronic bull****, Trump can still do things which a) stun me and b) so clearly display his unfitness for office.

It's also surprising that as we continue to go further and further down the rabbit hole, the Trump Cultists will continue to blanket defend him and his actions.

Omg. He is ranting like a mad king, issuing decrees on Twitter to US companies. That’s not how the constitution or the US Government works. WTF. The man is a total idiot.

It’s amazing he actually posted that and he is actually president. His Twitter account will make an interesting historical document.
 
I am so tired of winning...every day its win, win, win...trade wars are easy, piece of cake, we have them right where we want them, same with Rocket Man, the Chosen One is in charge, we have great mental illness, lets buy Greenland, Brexit will save us, Nato is a joke, invade Iran, blockade Venezuela, put those kids in cages for life, change the constitution, drill baby drill, uranium mines in Grand Canyon, win, win, win....

And yet, his base still supports him.

They will defend everything he says or does. Literally everything. They laugh in our faces when we say it’s a cult, but it really is, and it’s quite scary to witness. Luckily they are the minority. I just hope it translates to a loss in 2020. If he jumped off a cliff they would too.

Time for Canada to get rid of business income taxes for income earned outside of Canada, and put a welcome mat out for a stampede of US company headquarters

Just seems as if #45 is getting even crazier -- even by his standards. I don't think he knows that he can't order companies to do what he says.

Down 402 as of now.

It was bad enough when Fox and Trump supporters tried to parse his words and argue, he didn’t say Jews were disloyal... that’s not what he meant... he didn’t say that. They do it all the time. This time, excusing these Tweets would just show they either don’t care about the constitution or having a man in power completely ignorant on the US system, or they are deeply ignorant about American civics themselves.

The fact that a man, this stupid and ignorant, could become president is a travesty. I question the American school system and teaching of government and civics.
 
The Republican party is moving towards socialism.. They have some 'splaing' to do to their base.
