WASHINGTON/BEIJINGPresident Donald Trump on Aug. 23 said he has ordered American companies to exit China after Beijing unveiled retaliatory tariffs on $75 billion of U.S. goods, throwing a new twist into the bitter trade war between the worlds two largest economies.
The president was meeting with his trade team at midday, a senior White House official told Reuters.
We dont 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, Trump tweeted.
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.

At least here, in small town Iowa, I don't see them anymore. I suspect that people don't like the reaction the get when they wear them.

OTT, from what I've seen reported on Trump lately, he has declared dictatorial powers for himself. He must be stopped.
