U.S. — Following dueling tariff increases heading into the weekend, no end to the trade war between China and the United States was in sight, with the latest reports indicating that President Donald Trump had taken the situation up a notch by designating Panda Express as a domestic terror organization.
The startling move came just hours after China increased its tariffs on U.S. goods to 125%. Trump spoke with reporters in the Oval Office early Friday morning to confirm that the popular Chinese fast-food chain was now officially classified as an enemy of the state.
"No longer will we tolerate these restaurants with foreign ties to operate within our borders," Trump said. "For far too long, while the Chinese government has taken advantage of our country through unethical trade practices, we have watched the influence of Panda Express grow throughout America. No more. Have you had their chow mein? Way too much shredded cabbage. Very few noodles, it's very sad, I must say. Those days are over."
White House insiders said the president had nearly designated Panda Express as a domestic terror organization earlier this year after learning they had discontinued the practice of letting customers taste free samples of dishes with little toothpicks. "He was talked out of it then," one source said. "It turns out, once again, his instincts were right. Panda Express is bad news, and the United States is on to them."
At publishing time, President Trump had ordered the Department of Justice to launch a full investigation into why Panda Express's Kung Pao chicken had so few pieces of chicken in it.
Yes, it’s The Bee, UT there’s some truth to it being a terrorist outfit. Committing terrorism against food and our tummies, too.
I am so sorry a out your daughter. How awful. I tried the Panda once, but only once. It was truly awful.
man I have to start paying closer attention!! This actually had me sitting on the edge of my seat until I read your post!!
LOL... (Blush....)
Yeah and what about Taco Bell! They’re a real cuisine criminal enterprise.
I just ate there a few days ago. The Bee totally got me there for a few seconds.
And I expect an hour later they will get me again...
Hmmm...
Since 1949, I’ve suspected that CCP hotbed was up to no good...
And false advertising. They don’t serve panda meat no matter what their name says.
always knew taco bell was a cartel front. and don’t even get me started on Chinese laundries or take out. all conspiracies to make Americans think that china is not our enemy using fake service enterprises to spy on us!
Panda Express is gross!
