President Trump on Thursday renewed threats to slap new tariffs on Chinese goods as retaliation for China’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak...

Trump’s tariff threat triggered a selloff on Wall Street. By market close on Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had fallen 622 points.

In an interview on Friday, top White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said the U.S. would hold China “accountable” for the virus.

“On the China business, it’s up in the air. They are going to be held accountable for it. There’s no question about that. How, when, where and why — I’m going to leave that up to the president,” Kudlow said on CNBC's “Squawk on the Street.”

Several reports that the White House is putting together a package of punishments for communist China, to hold them accountable for the Pandemic damages.

The President mentioned tariffs as a possibility. Fake News mentioned reneging on US Treasury Bonds (which the President took off the table, to protect the good faith and credit of the USA).

Americans are not pro-American, on trade.

Have not been, for 30 years.

Everyone, every single person, in every store, in every village, in every town, in every political party, in every single state in the entire country, everywhere.

Is entirely sold out.

Trump, you are completely right.

Finally, someone gets it.

For thirty years, EVERYONE.

Has sold out America. Everyone.

Lots.

It's irrelevant to me why you won't live in America. You can live on the moon for all I care. But when you live in another country and you support that local (foreign) economy with your spending, you make yourself a hypocrite when you criticize Americans for how they spend their money in their local economy.

On the other hand, I hope the President can stop federal pension funds from investing in Chinese companies:
