Is it time to reconsider your editorial Endorsements yet? Or are lower CorporateTaxes worth having a Madman in the WhiteHouse?

I”m sure his family will cut all ties with China and move their manufacturing needs to the USA! I’m sure they will lead the way! 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“hereby ordered”? Repeat that to yourself out loud. Trump must go.

Or the Pittsburgh Pirates (but that may be too big a reach)

I give him two thumbs up for being stupid.

When US Companies and banks get tired of this nonsense they can call their paid for Congressman and get this fixed. Just sayin’.

Who’s gonna make those MAGA hats now?

Come to Africa, please.

There are other countries that can manufacturer goods for the US.

LOL...really? What a chump!

He’s a socialist!

morgfair Trump's new theme song.

morgfair “Hereby ordered?” The emperor is feeling his oats. Trump is high on himself.

morgfair what a sad, pathetic joke. and we continue to watch Rome burn.

India is the best place. Faithful & friendly.

“Hereby ordered”? ... he’s gone full socialist.

Make America Communist 🤦🏻‍♀️😱

TrumpUS trampling fundamental human rights with his own perceived threats to economic/ military might.Abolishing US birth right citizenship may be acceptable only if subsumed by global birth right citizenship which US cannot do.distorting US freedom of contract destroys its edge!

That is awesome. Finally a US President with a backbone! China can keep their junk.

don, China must be shaking in their boots from laughing so hard at you. And, BTW, you have no power to order any American to do anything you say. We follow laws, not you. You work for us, not the other way around. Remember that.

DoriToribio India

USA built factories in China ignoring democratic India precisely because the Chinese totalitarian regime guaranteed workers rights wouldn't be problem so USA tech and engineering companies poured billions dollars investment now those same companies are facing Chinese competitors

He can’t do that. We a global world and it take months to To certify a new source for input

AND THE WSJ IS OK WITH THIS FASCIST OVERREACH AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL DEMAND?

Alternative to China? I thought everything was returning home? 🤔

washingtonpost nytimes NicolleDWallace maddow AliVelshi SRuhle Where is Obama when you need him? Trump is not happy with Powell what America is it happy with Trump can we fire him.

What a moron we have as our chosen one!

China found weak spot on Trump...

good luck on that

Is that an executive odor?

It’s time to stop giving the soul of this country to China.

I think Trump is talking to a mirror. Aren't his Trump Ties made in China?

Amen! Thank you, President Trump!

LOL, the funny part is he cant 'hereby order' them to do that.

Idiot

Presidents don’t order companies to do anything. Unless they are communists or dictators. Which one is it?

For realDonaldTrump, culture wars are good and easy to win. Trade wars not so much.

ah, isn't it great that you guys have supported our godlike king so faithfully? Now, you have to do what he has 'ordered' you to do, right?

Isn’t that kind of a “socialist” thing

Ah those easy to win trade wars when your entire economy relies on that trade & your trade partner knows it. Wait until everything at Walmart costs 40% more

Corporate America/Wall Street are greedy bastards who won't back the President with China, causing them to hold out for a deal knowing they do not back him! Refuse to take a little pain to make a point with China and EVERYONE OF US WINS...but NO...greed dictates America loses!

Не надо искать альтернативу. Достаточно убрать с товара наклейки и найти умных посредников по всему миру.

LMAO - WHO DOES HE THINKS KING GEORGE? LMAO. HE IS LOSING IT!! MAD HATTER

O, do the US of A now have a state planned economy, like the old Sovjet Union had? USSR times back... that's weird...

Trade war so easy to win, said the king of bankruptcy!

High time.

“Hereby ordered” huh. 🤦‍♂️.

From the replies I can see, some are already scared. That is what exactly China is counting. Even the though the damage would be more for China, it is sure that US can not withstand the pressure and surrender first. This is history making strategic test for US.

Because trade wars are easy to win.

Its a wonder how WSJ/cons have such muted response to Trump's tantrums. Who will stand up to this mad man as he leads America & the world into ANOTHER depression or war. This tyrant of the 21st Century is a clear and present danger to America and the world.

Meanwhile: Extreme poverty in China: poorest village hopes for change via YouTube

IS THAT INCLUDING HIS OWN FAMILY OR IS THAT JUST OTHER PEOPLE?

US companies are, “Hereby ordered?” Good thing all those MAGA folks are super aware of what Socialism is. 🙄

How about work on improving and increasing trade with all the country's of Africa

Following his insane tweets!

Does that include his precious Ivanka's myriad Chinese-dependent companies? OOPS

This is going to get ugly. Hope you have plenty of emergency savings, everyone.

Presidential order to do so = bad. Mass social, government, and economic pressure to abandon China in every industry imaginable = VERY good and the only moral position we can take as a nation.

Emerging madness?

“Hereby ordered”

How about more trade with Africa... We should work on that

Sooner or later every war of trade becomes a war of blood.
