Spoken like National Review anti-American.
Falls under import restrictions- -
Customs and Border Patrol
They will follow the “orders” once American consumers demand that stuff be made elsewhere
The tide is turning
When the American consumers starts to boycott china made products, all these companies will start to change their manufacturing/supply chains or go bankrupt

He tweets his thoughts, I have to say, he is the most transparent and honest president ever.
Could you imagine the tweets Obama would have sent out if he was honest and transparent? “Iran is an awesome Islamic utopia, while the US is a white racist hell hole” Barack Obama.
you just fell for the bait
He does that stuff on purpose so the tweets get attention when the folks who fall for the bait lose their minds and go nuts. It’s usually only hard lefties so affected.
Just keeping it real..nothing wrong with criticism where it’s deserved - and his tweets today (especially “ordering” and the Powell comment) clearly deserve criticism. He needs to stop doing things like that.
I sure wouldn’t call that “anti-American” or that it’s like the National Review.
Ahoy.
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. This is absolutely correct.
This tweet was as much for China as anyone else. But yeah, watch lefty heads explode. Stand by for Nazi comparisons in 3...2...1
POTUS should target and prosecute all Politicians in both parties who have take illegal contributions (bribes) from China.I think the public would be shocked at how long that list would be.
China is on the ropes, and almost out of ammo.
Civil unrest in Hong Kong, and a declining economy. Hyperinflation is looming due to currency cuts. The Chinese propo armies are working overtime to create online impressions and chaos, while the American Left gleefully plays along.
NOW is the time to drop the hammer on them.
the President cant order companies around like that.
Not the point.
Trumpus Magnimus KNOWS that using this word electrifies and amplifies his words about China - and will make them dominate the news.
It also puts companies in the awkward position of either cavorting with known enemies or choosing our side.
And it puts pressure on China by telling the truth about what they are doing.
Many (most?) of them are paid trolls.
The left had the same problem during that primaries and the general election, they took him very literally, refusing to understand what he was saying.
Looks like you’re following the same path
A sovereign nation controls trade at its borders and these shipping companies move goods across OUR borders and into OUR country. The executive branch enforces the US laws on trade and ordering these shipping companies to look for contraband is entirely in the purview of POTUS. They can try to refuse to listen but they should’nt be surprised if they lose the privilege of shipping internationally.
China will lose, bigly.
So - what the news and “fact check” sites will probably pick up on in the tweets is the fact that 100K a year don’t die from fentanyl....that he inflated that number by a factor of 3.
BWAHAHAHA
I guess tweets and tariffs are better than bullets and missiles. However, the rationality of these tweets will be called into question IMO. Bottom line, I think Trump just walked into the Dems painted picture of no policy except chaos trap. I dont think today will stand out as a banner day for Trump and may be characteristic of policy and response that dooms him. I hope Im wrong, but less confusing will have a vast appeal IMO.
Clearly you don't understand the purpose of Trump's tweets. Don't go all wobbly. Trump doesn't do anything by accident.
