Oh jeez...now he is acting like The Godfather and threatening "retribution"

using a running series of Tweets, he sez

but any business that leaves our country for another country,.........then thinks it will sell its product back into the U.S. ........
without retribution or consequence, is WRONG!


Tweets can be found here: at the 12 hour time stamp about 6 Tweets down...


and said this bluster re: china:
Did China ask us if it was OK to devalue their currency (making it hard for our companies to compete), heavily tax our products going into
their country (the U.S. doesn't tax them) or to build a massive military complex in the middle of the South China Sea? I don't think so!


The supposedly next Pres. of USA is tweeting his foreign policy and thumbing his nose at China ....on Twitter.

It was on CNN Newsroom - but they had a woman anchor's name as part of the title.

Apparently Stein has been against Trump for his trade policies for a very long time:

The interview I saw today is not on the CNN site so far.
