I love him, but far as I know, the President can’t order companies around like that. No president can because we are not a dictatorship. Maybe I’m wrong and someone can point to the law that enables a president to do this.

He can spend hours everyday on twitter and say whatever he wants, and he can order them to, but none of them are obligated to do a thing about it.

It's unfortunate that those around him don't explain the powers and limitations on power that the President has, because they make Trump look foolish, but he can still hang out on twitter and say whatever he wants.

If you look at Trump's biggest gaffes, it feels like it always comes back to his legal advisors have failed in explaining the limits on his power.

There will be idiots that think Trump can order companies around like that, and those idiots would have lost their minds if Obama tried the same thing, but eventually they'll snap out of it and realize, as you said, that such power = dictatorship.

President Trump sure does shake the bushes. All sorts of disaffected, weaklings are flushed out. I’m almost running out of popcorn. Fortunately, I have a good store of smooth bourbon to offset that disappointment.

If Obama had stood up to Chinese mercantilism I would have supported him 1000%.
