last night, Gaetz said:"Instead of bailing out Chinese businesses in the United States, we should seize their assets and put them in receivership to pay damages to Americans who have suffered as a consequence of the Wuhan virus.
"Here's how we do it. First, we pass the Dan Crenshaw, Tom Cotton legislation to make China financially responsible for the damages they've caused. "And then, when the lawsuits are ultimately filed to hold China accountable, you don't just let them continue to operate their assets and their businesses in the United States. You use the judicial process to put all of that in receivership.
"That'll get China's attention. That'll hold them accountable. That will make the American people whole."has contacted the Chinese embassy for comment and will update this article with any response. Rep. Matt Gaetz speaks to reporters outside the West Wing of the White House following a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on April 21, 2020.
Idiot
But stay away from all they have invested in higher education or it will bankrupt us. Should they make us come good on all of our loans with them
Grab that big soy farm in the Midwest
SO DON'T GO AROUND BLAMING. OTHERS FOR TRUMP MISTAKES ... BECAUSE TRUMP IS THE PRESIDENT..BUT TRUMP DOES NOT KNOW TO RUN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.. TRUMP NEEDS TO MAN UP !!!! AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS MISTAKES..HE IS ALWAYS BLAMING OTHERS ..THAT A DISGRACE!!!! ..
IT'S Not China FAULT WE GOT THE VIRUS !!ITS WAS TRUMP IGNORANCE THAT HE DIDN'T FAST ENOUGH.. SAYING IT WAS A HOAKS !! SO IF ANYONE'S TO BLAME IT'S TRUMP. HE'S THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME NO !!! ONE ELSE..FOR ALL THE LIVES WE HAVE LOST IN THE UNITED STATES....
Remember when everything we bought was completely solid? Lastes forever. Built well. Now everything is cheap Chinese crap. Lasts a fraction of the solid American counterparts. If we want to save the environment like the tree huggers want stop buying cheap Chinese commodity crap.
Seize his assets first, andthe Cheetos too.
Probably not a good idea!
Okay but let us start with your assets since you were in congress walking around asymptomatic with COVID19. endangering your fellow congresspeople.
Uh, Matt. Take off your gas mask. The virus on the Eastern seaboard arrived from Europe.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Stupid Fool Gaetz. He is brainless and danderously unhinged, in his attempts to ingratiate himself with Trump. Does he think, for one moment, that the Chinese would jut sit back for that. Pull that stunt and China will take all Chinese based USA assets. USA LOST THE TRADE WAR!!
Somebody please shut that assistant buffoon up.
Trump knows about China
Just all part of Trump’s messaging to blame his incompetence on China.
1 rep gas-mask has no credibility 2 numerous US companies have huge markets in China and billions in assets 3 what happened in Wuhan is still under investigation although trump and allies are using China to detract from a poor response; gas-mask is a perfect example of that
Gaetz is openly advocating communism now.
He probably does not support anything positive, like these people.
Is he kidding? Moscow Mitch's Chinese in-laws have already gifted him with multi-millions. He's never going to allow his future assets to be confiscated.
Same with Trump
Trumps assets - what there is of them - should be seized for what’s hes cost the American people!!
He keeps trying to be relevant, but he's not.
RepMattGaetz you are a....
Hey matt salute 🍸🍸
Matt Gaetz needs to have a dirty sock stuffed in his mouth.
Everytime I see him I see Franklin Graham. Or at least a generic evangelist.
Matt G. should be seized and gagged.
He’s gone full nazi. That’s not fair. He’s always been a nazi. The problem with this comment is the 40% of Americans don’t cast the word nazi in the pejorative.
Agreed 💯%
Great, start with Elaine Chao's fortune. 🙄
……… so many clown in the White House! This is why China is winning
That’s called nationalization among foreign companies.
Matt Gaetz is an asshole. Plain and simple .
People like Matt Gaetz in leadership is a disaster. They do terrible damage and then blame others so that they can get away with it.
It's a dysfunctional tactic that would come from a dysfunctional administration. This guy still doesn't understand retaliation.
Sure Matt, let’s get China to confiscate all of the American plants and worksites in China with its low wages ! You think China won’t retaliate ? You’re an idiot !
Send them back to China until China compensate the damages it created in the world. The whole country (China) is not even enough to pay all the damages it has created in the whole world.
Cool let’s seize trump’s assets too since he screwed up as well
Guess the Chinese can play the same game.
Is this the same congressmen who had on a gas mask to mock the coronavirus then got the coronavirus. Shut up
Great idea
LOL LOL LOL Seriously
First start closer to home. Seize assets of GOP’ers who made $$ off of inside info while they had parties, rallies, played golf, hid then downplayed threat & are still spinning their failure to act and incompetence. Start with someone who wore a gas mask to Congress as a stunt.
This man is a moron.
What?! Then China demands the U.S. payback everything it owes in ONE LUMP SUM! What happens then you shit head. The Great Depression would seem like a trip to Disney.
China holds notes on how many trillions of u.s.debt ? This is typical moronish Republican bluster to stir up the over manipulated , gullible willing to drink the Clorox segment of the base. China has the ability to crush what’s left our economy with the stroke of a pen .
Ya. He says a lot of things.
What a dope! He wants to be the next president.
🤦♀️Florida wins w craziest politicians!
pretending some legal standard exists for dependable transparency here
doing this is a no go because if the US did this China would cut diplomatic ties and maybe even declare war because it would be criminal
KarrenEricson Coming from a puppet, that’s cute 🥴🤡🤡🤡 MattGaetzIsATool
The obvious: assets of trump should be seized to pay damages to Americans
So who's going to one-up Gaetz with an even dumber over-reaction to cover up Trump's bungling by blaming those damn furriners? Nunes? Jordan?
I don't know. A Government seizing private business assets to redistribute to the poor. Sounds kind of Socialist to me.
I half agree with Matt on this! The Chinese government needs to be punished and punished severely (if the evidence points their direction)! The Chinese government have been bad actors and uncooperative in many ways. Virus not anyone’s fault but the leadership is!
Hot head
And Trump should be indicted for what he is doing to Americans. Lock him up. Lock him up.
Anyone who invests in the USA is nuts.
Then I would like to do the same to American companies in every country.
first let's do trump's assets
1918 flu started in America and 50 million people died worldwide. America paid no reparations and world didn’t seize American assets. Why would mad gaetz now ask America to seize China’s assets? 🇺🇸 should pay the world reparations for 1918 flu. COVIDー19 COVID19
Yeah, that’ll work.
Another nut job!
More Republican clowns whipping up their voter base
Matt has been hitting his quarantine stash with gusto, I see.
Well he's an idiot
Gaetz and Trump really trying to create a great depression.
He’s a Nazi
Where's your gas mask Matty That was such a funny joke. 60,000 plus dead and counting Matty. But you made daddy laugh, so funny! You're a funny guy
Empty vessels, or is he playing to the vessels?
How dumb, so then they call in the debt the US owes them? What an idiot this guy is MattGaetzIsATool
this guy is a total tool tho
Matt pay back is a ...... in other words Karma!! Trump has to take responsibility!!
Have another shot Matt.....
Did he not learn from the trade war
I guess he forgot that the Chinese can cash out on the debt we owe them. But then again he is just throwing shit out there for the rural rubes that have no idea.
Is he talking about Trump's loan?
MORE GOP STUPIDITY CHINA OWNS YOU WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DEBT? 24 TRILLION? GREATER PART OWNED TO CHINA
Oh that’s pretty cute. China will do the same thing to US assets in China, citing the world wide spread of THE AMERICAN STUPID VIRUS!!!!
How can you simply generalize every Chinese company? In that case, the U.S companies in other countries should all be seized for all the damages they have done. Who voted for this idiot? Vote wisely people...geezz
And when they retaliate?
Why does anybody ever listen to him. Why is he even in office. Seized ? That's an act of war.
Remember H1N1 (swine flu) or perhaps we should call it the America flu. How many deaths occured globally? Did countries try and seize US assets at the time? How we conveniently forget all this?
Lies!!
MakeChinaPay ChinaLiedPeopleDie China_is_terrorist
How much of our assets are in China? How much do we owe China? Think! Dumb ass!
Start with Donny and Ivanka’s clothes lines!
Why give attention to wackos?
B A S E D
The quality of career politicians. Term of service in Senate and Congress now. Because our Democracy must not witness and endure these political motivated MORONS. ALWAYS FOLLOWING, NEVER LEADING - they do not have the intellect, depth and internal fortitude to do what is right
I’d rethink that.
Properties of CCP officials can do
Because China is not going to retaliate, right? What an idiot.
Are we completely going to repeat the past? How did Reparations work out for Europe after WWI?
mattgaetz, we don't need any advice from you nor your moron crew. I'm sure it's 1pm somewhere in the world. Have a cocktail on US.
Matt gaetz is a moron, part 164,570
That would...have a really bad precident internationally given the sort of interventions America has had. Especially in places like the middle East
Such an empty head
WHAT?😳😳😳😃😁😆😅😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣DUMBASS😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
And what about other countries because surely you can see that the US isn’t the only country in the world? And that this is affecting every country. Including China? Would you sue Trump because he mocked and did nothing ?
To pay American families, and small business (Mom~Pop).... not Corporations or companies!!!
Should assets of the Trump organization be seized to help pay for his mistakes?
Make Depressions Great Again!
China could bankrupt America by pulling out.
sounds good, but USA companies have alot of assets in china, we would lose again.
Same guy.
Republicans just can't govern. Every other country got the same info from China. But the US, which has 4% of the world's population, already has 27% of the world's Covid-19 deaths and growing. That's not on China. That's on Trump. TrumpFailedAmerica
Have another drunken binge and shut up.
mattgaetz sure!!
He's blowing a lot of hot air. He owes too much money to China.
Trying to make China pay for American failings !
vikramchandra mattgaetz if only wishes were the horses.........
You do know your Messiah will NEVER do that right? mattgaetz
Well that would be dumb...they could retaliate and we have way more lose
Clueless! We do dumb 💩. The other countries do dumb 💩 in retaliation...see how that works RepMattGaetz 🙄 ffs 🤐
mattgaetz typical GOTParty art of distraction.... NOBODY CARES! TrumpVirusCoverup TrumpsPandemicFailure TrumpCoronavirusTestFailure TrumpCovid19Fail TrumpLiedPeopleDied
Oh yes you douchebag... because inflaming tensions with a global military power is JUST WHAT WE NEED NOW.
USA in no SHAPE TO START A WAR WITH CHINA ESPECIALLY with Trump as President. China has a billion people strong To fight USA & the most advanced weapons. While Reality TV PRESIDENT LAIRS was tweeting & golfing, China GOT STRONGER. Since 45 NEGLECT IGNORED the CORONAVIRUS? Chaos
Trump's fartcatcher banging that racism, pro-war drum to get to get his cult figure reelected.
Matt Gaetz showing true Banana Republican Spirit. First you rob your own Treasury, oppress your own population, suppress the vote, nationalize the assets of foreigners, give out large sums of money to your supporters & big business, and blame others for your incompetence.
There is something so wrong with him
What an Imbecile. Honestly. If Brains were Dynamite, this Goose couldn’t blow the Wax out of his Ears! A Complete Dropkick!
They keep forgetting China can punch back just as hard. The retaliation will cripple USA, especially with how badly Wall Street is doing right now.
Nationalizing foreign assets....where have I heard this before? 🤔
中国也会对等扣押米国公司在中国的资产的，说话不过脑子的议员，怎么选上的？
Fascism
Dumb as a door bell and this guy went to law school? The Dow will collapse because those Chinese owe a large percentage of the national debt.
Ooh boy, that’s a great idea, really, really great. Are you as stupid as you appear? What would be the end result or unintended consequence here? Think hard now.
Do not forget, American companies have more stock in China, that is why we have sovereignty immunity and civil laws
take away Gaetz passport and ship him to China
And every piece of Trump property should be seized since he ignored countless warnings ths pandemic was coming and coming hard.
Every single country that was affected needs to collectively punish the Chinese government. Not sure exactly what or how but they should not escape retribution.
Just kikenazis stolejews assetsanti Semitic bastards
Where’s your gas mask? Or is this all a hoax again?
But where’s his gas mask? Florida, could you *TRY* to keep this one home in the future? I’m embarrassed for y’all every time he comes up.
Most likely illegal. Worse yet, it could trigger a similar response from China with other countries preparing legislation that allows thwm to do the same of they fall afoul of the US. Want to cut US global power? This is one way to do it.
Then what?
The same party that gave corporations a massive tax cut now want to seize companies' assets. Just increase taxes on massive corporations and you'll have the money for coronavirus reparations and unemployment benefits
Best idea I’ve heard so far. Please keep up the good work!
Every country should seize american assets and let RepMattGaetz know that he started this shitshow. Don’t threaten countries when donnie failed Americans on COVIDー19.
Hey Matt, instead of going off on the Chinese, make yourself useful by getting Americans more COVID19 testing.
Yes
So this is how WWIII starts and we die?
What if China does the same off the American assets in their country stupidity
You think China is a new Iraq? Stupid.
LOL. Say goodbye to the American economy.
I agree. Every asset no matter how small.
