Washington President Donald Trump claimed he has the"absolute right" to"order" US companies to stop doing business with China that would involve using his broad executive authority in a new and unprecedented way under a 1977 law.
On Friday, China unveiled a new round of retaliatory tariffs on about $75 billion worth of US goods, the latest escalation in an on-going trade war that's putting a strain on the world's two largest economies. In response, Trump wrote on Twitter later Friday:"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.
You read much?
So much for the GOP’s invisible hand 🙄
You do know that PEOPLE have nicknamed him either FAKE POTUS orTRAITOR TRUMP!These are not only NICKNAMES but they are ACTUALLY what ITS Being called on the STREETS in everyday conversation,PERSONALLY I THINK THAT IT IS WRONG DISRESPECTING THE OFFICE,BUT TRUTHFUL ABOUT THE PERSON
Has the ABSOLUTE RIGHT to RESIGN, and I mean RIGHT NOW ! Also the ABSOLUTE RIGHT to GO TO JAIL, DIRECTLY TO JAIL, DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS BUT GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL, PLEASE GO NOW FOR THE GOOD OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE CITIZENS HERE PLEASE
Nope he has not!!
So, show me where you have the right to tell anyone where to purchase from.....I will wait.
POTUS & China TRADE: While POTUS acts on China trade, why his purely bi-partite action is expcted by world not to have any colatral rprcuson ? After all he is elected for US presidency only ! How can he function at all if he has to think of other cuntris b4 taking any action ?
Trump 2020!
OK, let’s see you try this.
Why would any US company want to do business in China?
Lol, what US companies? Are there any left?
Dictator Trump speaks again
Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977, he is citing has to do with War or National Emergency. Not because he is having a tantrum. He should start with his families companies, not one stitch made in US
‘Absolute’ is an interesting choice of word. Is that the end of free trade then?
Correct
Well, this ought to be fun to watch.
No you don’t.
Actually he doesn't, but he doesn't give a shit about the law. Perhaps he should start at home since he and Ivanka make a huge number of their products in China that are not affected by tariffs either. Yet again Donald is a hypocrite!
We're beyond partisanship at this point. Y'all, Trump is imploding. America is at risk. He needs to to go.
Well, Trump and his Tots do the most business with China?
Is there any other Laws that would give DonaldTrump 'absolute power' to destroy our country? I think there should be Law to remove unfit President due to serious mental problems such as bipolar disorder Look at bipolar symptoms DonaldTrump is exact match based on his Tweets
This isn’t the apprentice. The only one here who can b fire, is him
Innocent of the law excuses no one. It is well said in the Constitution, the law shall be followed faithfully. No one is above the law.
Does that include any of his companies inside the trump umbrella ? ..... nope they are except ..well...cus his a billionaire. ( on paper)
No you don’t.
Companies will be free to stay in China And make no profit for their shareholders Trump in 2020 ...
I don’t think so. He can recommend but not order.
Even playing grounds sounds fair to me.
Of course he does. He’s the MF’in President of the United States of America.
He wants dictatorship so bad! He does not have that right, no one does.
May Ivanka be the first to sever ties with China
He should start with his own.
Would someone give this guy education? Remind him he is only President, not king or dictator?
Trump is correct . He has the right to order companies to stop dealing with China. What he doesn’t know is they have the right to ignore him.
Sire he does, cause he believes in socialism
POTUS u created the crisis w/china...ur childish behavior & power games. U put tariffs on China, backed off tariffs, berated & belittled China, threatened tariffs, causing economic problems 4 both countries. Ur 'ordering US companies out of China.' Ur products still made there.
Certifiably insane..
If it's good for the country why not

Such BS, hope companies ignore him, they have a right to do business wherever they want, maybe Trump wants these companies to close their doors and put more Americans out of work
Where are MAGA hats now being produced?
Why do you even push this stuff. Everyone who has a business makes there own decisions. They don’t take orders from anyone, but will listen to suggestions. This may be a issue for CNN but not American businesses
will he be the first to stop.
Telling businesses not to do business with a country that puts muslims and political opposition in camps, punishes protests with violence and aids/supports states like north Korea than they should face sanctions from the government.
Does that include all the Trumps? or are they excluded?

This kind of nonsense is acceptable in my mother’s native country of Honduras. Not here
is melania his comfort blanket? or his shield. why does he have to drag her around like a teddy bear?
He has no right maybe in Russia
I thought that we lived in a free country
WajahatAli Hey if they are allowed to MURDER, DISMEMBER, AND MULTILATE babies under a 1970 law I think this one will stick also.
Why were we ever doing business with communists in the first place? since we fought so many wars and invaded so many countries under the excuse of fighting communism?
I thought the creepy porn lawyer was low but CNN double down with McCabe. You have lost all credibility
America is a business first and a nation second, that is what you liberals try not to mention to the public because you have them seeing & thinking my country, my nation, my liberty and it's not so selfish in principle lol
Buy American send a clear message to cheating China!!😖
I am willing to Bet big money that somewhere in the Trump Clan they are conducting business with China as he utters those words.
Oh he's got the 'absolute right' just like you do and I do but that doesnt meant its 'absolute legal' for him to enforce it.
WajahatAli Stephen Miller told him so it must be true.
The descent into dictatorship continues
He won’t stop until he is stopped by the Republicans, he is going to destroy the US. This is a sure way to destroy many manufacturers and Tech companies.
Bull. Anyone with any business savvy would ignore his 'order'. He has no 'absolute ' anything.
Only if it’s issued as a decree on parchment
Ill like to see how the compamies will react to this...
Let’s put him to the test then. We double dare him.
he doesnt even have the right to be president!!!!
Closer and closer to real socialism we go.
We are just a stones throw away from a recession.
Said that about building the wall too.
another one of trumps national emergencies
Does Ivanka know?
Idiot.
