Our Country has lost, stupidly, Trillions of Dollars with China over many years. They have stolen our Intellectual Property at a rate of Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year, & they want to continue. I won't let that happen! We don't need China and, frankly, would be far....

....better off without them. The vast amounts of money made and stolen by China from the United States, year after year, for decades, will and must STOP. Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing..

....your companies HOME and making your products in the USA. I will be responding to China's Tariffs this afternoon. This is a GREAT opportunity for the United States. Also, I am ordering all carriers, including Fed Ex, Amazon, UPS and the Post Office, to SEARCH FOR & REFUSE,....

....all deliveries of Fentanyl from China (or anywhere else!). Fentanyl kills 100,000 Americans a year. President Xi said this would stop - it didn't. Our Economy, because of our gains in the last 2 1/2 years, is MUCH larger than that of China. We will keep it that way!

Literally, his mission is to just upset the world order. The more divided the world is, the happier Putin is.

This dude loves Xi I thought. He'll come back around in a few weeks when Xi brings some honey over.

Becuase the idiot republicans enable him. They don't care as long as he's on their team.

They could easily neuter him/get him under control with the democrats if they wanted to with as much control as they have.

Yeah why don't you give them time and the incentive to do this before starting a trade war and putting them in the position we're all in right now?

Eh... I sort of agree. I think it would be much better if businesses didn't solely rely on a authoritarian dictatorship. To be fair though, I'm not sure if businesses would seek out a fair democratic business havens. They'll still favor authoritarian dictatorships. :/

No, it wasn't postponed. They only postponed electronic products like cell phones and consoles to avoid pissing off the voter that needs to buy an iphone as an Xmas present, but they're still on for the first for the most part.

I can't imagine investment bankers have much patience for Trump left. I'm not a fan of their industry, but even they have to be done with Trump's idiocy. He's really bad for business, low taxes don't count for much when the market is this unstable.

Yep. Putin did the same thing with Europe and Brexit. It's scary just how well their social media blitz worked. And the world isn't doing enough to stop it from happening again. The trolls still infest the internet, turning the people against each other.

If journalists had any courage they'd ask him on live TV when he'll stop making MAGA hats in China.

But they won't.
