    he also rhetorically asked who is our greatest enemy? J Powell (chair of the federal reserve) or President Xi? are you fucking kidding me?

    Something does need to be done about China, but to think Trump is the right man for the job is laughable. They are kicking his ass.
    Obama was on the right path with TPP.  That was a long term play, but it excluded China from the deal.  It would have created economic incentives for companies to relocate factories to other parts of SE Asia.  But alas, we blew that.

    It is unfathomable. Or should be. I appreciate what Dan Rather just posted: "We live in a world where the President of the United States attacks the Chairman of the Federal Reserve as an enemy, employing rhetoric he never dare used for a former KGB Agent who oversaw an attack American democracy. We were told there would be adults in the room."

    So...soul-eater trying to order companies to not deal with China, is he talking to himself?

    Zombie Barbie's husband, George Conway, chimed in on Twitter with an "order" of his own:

    I hereby order the White House staff to take to Walter Reed, and to convene the cabinet under Section 4 of the Twenty-fifth Amendment.

    The two largest economies in the world are completely intertwined.  That's a far different scenario than Cuba.  It's not happening, and China knows it.  Also, China continues to target products from the midwest/swing states.  They are being strategic here.

    Donald Trump can't just 'hereby order' whatever he wants

    What is clear is why Trump is doing this: He's attempting to exert control -- even though he has no actual authority to do so -- over a situation that he feels he is losing control of.

    Remember that Trump famously/infamously tweeted in March 2018 that trade wars are "good, and easy to win." The ongoing trade war with China has been anything but. It has led to a yo-yoing stock market and is now fueling growing concerns that the hard-chugging economy was showing signs of slowing, with some analysts seeing signs of a potential recession on the horizon.

    Trump knows that if the economy goes south -- or is perceived to be stumbling -- he is in deep, deep trouble in 2020. The economy's strength has always been Trump's best chance of winning a second term in spite of his low approval numbers overall. But in a new AP-NORC poll, more people disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy than approve, a shift that, if it continues, spells disaster for the incumbent.

    He also knows there are limited number of levers he can pull to change things. It's why he is throwing absolutely everything against the wall -- like a payroll tax cut! (Or maybe not!) And why he puts out tweets like he did on Friday in which he tries to assert control over something on which he has no formal control. It just makes him feel better, more in control of a situation that, in reality, he isn't in control of at all.

    In Trump's world, the illusion of control is better than the acknowledgment of his relative powerlessness to force China (or American business) to his will. But just because he's hiding behind that illusion doesn't mean anyone else needs to.

    The Chinese are not our friends. They are tough to deal with this way for a number of reasons...the government controls everything and does what it wants (something trump would like) being the biggest.

    Too bad Americans are apparently all talk with the “made in America” bs. No stomach.

    Last I checked, congress hadn’t passed an embargo against China. Wee little bit different. The repubs in the senate are free to introduce legislation for a China embargo. Moscow Mitchy Baby, where art thou?
