"SNIP.....

The White House has no public explanation for why Trump thinks that he can order US private companies to stop doing business in and with China.

Reporters are trying to get an explanation, but here is what they’ve gotten out of the White House so far:

✔@EamonJavers

White House aides right now offering no explanation for why President Trump believes he can “hereby order” American companies to do anything. Also, officials have no information about what the president may or may not be announcing this afternoon,

....SNIP"

1. I think Javanka went on vacation and decided to show Trump how

much he needs them by not being reacheable by phone or data. IMHO a girl can guess.

[malaise]

2. He can't

and even if he thought he could, does anyone in her/his right mind think a tweet is a legal document.
Lock up this madman please

3. The Commerce Dept is at a complete loss to explain a direction for China commerce

I have several large and pending contracts with companies from PRC, and these mean a lot to my fledgling tech startup. Thanks to the Twittering Tangerine Twat, my attorneys are unable to get a straight story the Dept of Commerce on any of the details. This idiot is the most worthless idiot our country has ever known. The stock market has spoken- dropping over 600 points today alone- we are headed for a major financial disaster.

7. Fortunately I don't do any business with Chinese companies.

But if I did, I would be willing to suffer to see China stick it to Trump and help bring about his electoral defeat. You are likely different and your circumstances different, but that is where I am with that bastard.

4. and can he just go ahead and raise tariffs?

where is the government FOR the people?

can he alone do this by order.... on a whim? as retaliation?

5. If a democratic President made a statement like that shit would be pouring out of every door

at Fox News and the Chamber of Commerce. Slack-jawed idiots would be marching in the streets with guns in some red states.

13. Oh yeah

and you can bet IF we can get past this disaster and get D in there, they will hysterically loose their minds blowing up completely made up or innocuous things as proof the D POTUS is the worst disaster ever like they did to BHO, Clinton, Carter ...

HTF this country puts up with their insane childishness is mind boggling.

15. I actually read a comment from a rightwinger this morning.

The MAGAT accused President Obama of being responsible for ALL of the current $22 trillion debt, completely ignoring that Trump added close to $4 trillion of that and took the annual deficit from just under $500 billion to $1 trillion in just about 2 years, seven months.

The post was a perfect example of how the right constantly tries to turn the tables, republicans run up deficits and democrats get blamed for them. We must aggressively attack such lies any time we see them, because there actually are uninformed people out there who will believe the lies if facts are not presented.

6. I am honestly starting to smell a rat!

Or rats.

While the impression is that the Tangerine Trauma is merely impulsively bonkers, (which is a safe assumption) there seems to be something up his sleeve and that the can of wacky he opens every time he speaks has the potential to be a smokescreen. He is an instinctive manipulator and I never forget that fact.

Now, I want to know who is really determining this policy in the White House? There is no way in hell that this professional casino bankruptcy specialist is intelligent enough or knowledgeable enough to back up his rhetoric or form strategies on his own, as per the games he is playing with China, etc.

The arrow is pointing to something. Bannon is gone, Miller and others are there, but there may be a more insidious cabal behind this. Yeah, call be paranoid, but some things are just not right here. We have to find out who is tRump's brain, so to speak. Sure, Putin is a factor, but I mean in the office.

The smell is wafting about. An investigation of some sort is needed. If we knew more about that, we might be able to get past the cognitive dissonance being generated and clear some smoke.

8. It does not seem like you have been watching.

Anyone that is sane enough to stand up to Trump and give him facts gets fired. He is surrounded by asslickers and Steven Miller, who is an evil bastard that hates anyone that is not White - so even if Trump is stepping into shit with China, Miller would likely be unlikely to push him in the right direction.

9. I see your point,

I have been watching. I have noticed an opaqueness about what is going on internally at the WH, and more so than in the past.

Trump has obvious and noted weaknesses. Everyone does. If someone was able to play on them, then they would never "stand up to him" because it would inflame him and out they go. That just wouldn't work at all. You wouldn't push trump, you would manipulate him effectively and there are people who can do that with ease as well as he manipulates in other ways. If you have ever seen a trained mediator/negotiator at work, etc., you know what I mean.

We see his fondness for authoritarians like Putin and the like. It seems like he envies or admires them, or both. We know that he does actually want to be loved/liked and that feeding him his desperately needed narcissistic supply can create an inroad and simply toss ideas his way, or be there with whatever tools, actions and information ready.

I don't think that hypothetical is out of the question.

11. We know who the rats are

Miller, Mulvaney, and Pence - They are the architects of all of Trumps horrible actions

Miller is driving the immigration policies (to appeal to the racist base)
Mulvaney is driving the economic policies (to appeal to the rich/greedy base)
Pence is driving the social policies (to appeal to the evangelical base)

Maybe throw in Sen. Cotton for foreign policy idiocy

14. It is a mix, but I can say for certain that Vlad Putin

is walking around like the Joker in Batman movies with a huge ass, permanent grin on his face ...

10. Oh The Onion your time may be gone cuz crazy shit is real now How to compete ?

Also still everyday I ask WIODT ??? Just imagine

12. "... You look like you could be forty-five!

Now I'm losing touch with reality, and I'm almost out of blow!
It's such a fine line! I hate to see it go!
Cocaine! runnin all around my brain!"
