Trump runs his mouth- Dow drops almost 500 points

[alexa]

Tariffs have always been a policy of the US government. You should know that.

I'm not talking about tariffs.

“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," Trump tweeted.

We could’ve done without the “derp” - not conducive to discussion.

I hadnt seen that.

Either way is fine. How do you feel about him *ordering* (his word, not mine) U.S. companies to stop doing business with and in China? How does that line up with the alleged conservative principle of less government interference?

I am against his order of that. I think that should come through legislation, if it comes at all.

The congress isn’t in charge of foreign policy.

Trump appointed Powell and now calls him an enemy.

I can't wait to hear the spin.

President Trump has a point. A good point.

Our war with China must be fought. Now is a good time to do it.

[MisterVeritis]

Well, we could've done without the "leftards" comment -- real conducive to discussion.

He does have a way of causing these reactive fluctuations. I don't think it is helpful. I am afraid that some of his supporters are growing weary of him. I don't think they'll support a leftist, I think they'll just stay home.

I doubt it.

You may be slipping. Focus on the result not the day to day fluctuations.

He didn’t order them to stop doing business with China. He ordered them to start looking for alternatives.

China has taken advantage of indecisive or timid leadership for years. That needs to change.

I still don't like them. I will walk in the door tonight and Mrs. U will say "We lost X$'s today" I will say: "We didn't lose anything b/c we didn't sell anything"

Just for fun I look at my account balances every couple of weeks. Including today's losses I am up 25.79%.

I suppose one might have never heard of the bully pulpit.

Dave! I am dismayed at how soft and squishy you have become. Man up!
