Imagine if Obama had said this.
Hate to say it, but I can't imagine him saying this. Does Trump check with his advisors or does he have a Constitutional consultant before he spews comments like this. He may have the authority, but I am very doubtful.
Has he even considered what it would cost companies to stop doing business with China?? What if U.S. companies have subsidiary companies in China -- are they supposed to pack up and leave? Who is going to absorb the cost? The American taxpayer again or the American consumer?
Perhaps he would be better off to
ask the American public and companies to boycott China??? I think that is more plausible.
Perhaps a trade embargo??
