Trump orders U.S. companies to "start looking for alternatives" to China

Every day his mental decline becomes more pronounced. Praying for the US in these troubled times.

/——/ Tommy is critical of an American president standing up for America. Somehow that is unCanadian.

To not export our middle class jobs to third world shit holes, since that defeats the purpose of having a free market economy.

See, the thing about a 'free' market economy is that they are not your jobs anymore. Your beloved patriotic corporations only care about one thing and that's $$$ so if they can get cheaper work slaves somewhere else that's where the factories go to.

I get the sentiment that you want those jobs to come back and make murica great again, I'm just pointing out that you can't worship Ayn Rand at the same time....

Have I ever suggested capitalism run unchecked?

 

[LeftofLeft]

You lefties want US companies to keep doing business with communists that have been killing us in a trade war for 30+ years?

Lefties Just want to be mad at Trump. That’s all.

Trump is not standing up for America.

He absolutely is standing up for America by trying to level trade with China. It’s been one way in their favor for too long. Is it bumpy, painful and bruising right now? Yes.... I am not going to argue that. But, long term, it’s necessary. This is very difficult for Democrats who are used to capitulating and worrying about what the rest of the World wants us to do.

Take off your Trump-hating glasses and think about the China situation that has plagued us going back 35 years. What would you do different now?

Your knee-jerk agreement to anything Trump says or does is so mind-bogglingly stupid.

My argument has nothing to do with President Trump. I’ve been saying we need tariffs on China for over ten years.

Right so dictating what corporations do business with is of course what you always thought too huh? See that’s the actual topic at hand.

/——-/ Corporations exist for one purpose and one purpose only- to make a profit for the investors. Since labor is their highest overhead, it stands to reason they want and need cheap labor. They have no option but to compete or go out of business. This is a concept lost on you and your stupid little dancing banana. You moron.

 

[Jantje_Smit]

Have I ever suggested capitalism run unchecked?

Well, that's pretty much the definition of a 'free' market economy

If you want government control of the market that's evil socialism...

/——/ Are you one of the libtards that slams Trump hats and ties for being made in China? Aren’t you dictating that his company only do business with American companies? BTW the official Trump hats and ties are made in the USA.

You see, Trump doesn't understand what he's talking about. He contributed to the trade deficit as a businessman and his company continues to now. So did his daughters.

Trump ties-made in China. Trump purchased tons of Chinese steel for his buildings.

A trade deficit results when domestic companies manufacture in foreign countries. When raw materials are shipped overseas to factories, they count as exports. When the finished goods are shipped back home, they count as imports.

So he is imposing tariffs on US businesses that have factories in china. Then he tells them to stop doing business in China.

/——/ No, that’s the Left’s distortion of the term free market. From Investopedia:
What is a Free Market?
The free market is an economic system based on supply and demand with little or no government control. It is a summary description of all voluntary exchanges that take place in a given economic environment. Free markets are characterized by a spontaneous and decentralized order of arrangements through which individuals make economic decisions. Based on its political and legal rules, a country’s free market economy may range between very large or entirely black market.

Libtards want a Command Economy.
What is a Command Economy?
A command economy is a system where the government, rather than the free market, determines what goods should be produced, how much should be produced, and the price at which the goods are offered for sale. It also determines investments and incomes. The command economy is a key feature of any communist society. Cuba, North Korea, and the former Soviet Union are examples of countries that have command economies, while China maintained a command economy for decades before transitioning to a mixed economy that features both communistic and capitalistic elements.

The way that you level trade is by making better stuff that people want to buy.Not putting tarriffs on things that just punish poor people.

Trade relations are complex things and trumps methods are simplistic at best.

China needs tackling over many issues, steel for one, but it needs doing as a unified group and not an ad hoc approach like this.

/——-/ “The way that you level trade is by making better stuff that people want to buy.”
Sure- at a price they want to pay. Assume Rolex is the best watch made, but not everyone who wants one can afford it. Rolex is not the number one seller. Or better yet, a New York restaurant serves the best prime rib possible, but because they charge $100 for it, people who want steak go to more moderately priced restaurants where they stand in line to get served.

Lol I’m not dictating anything. I was just pointing out that he is a retarded hypocrite. Can’t you address the actual topic at hand without deflecting like a little bitch? Are you actually agreeing with this stupid new policy?
