'I hereby order': Trump mocked for highly formal, meaningless decree
Leaning further into a burgeoning economic war with China of his own design, Donald Trump on Friday levied a series of bizarre demands of American companies who do business in the country.
They included an order for American firms to cease production in China.
“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.”
The proclamation, which the president does not have the power to enforce, might have been expected to unleash a wave of panic and terror among America’s mostly capitalist citizenry – such state-mandated orders are, after all, the stuff of planned-economy communist countries.
In short, it was simply another weird day under the Trump administration, during a week in which he has already called himself “The Chosen One” and picked a fight with Denmark because of its refusal to consider selling him Greenland.

That one was a step too far even for the trump cucks, he's walking it back already. Can't walk back the damage from the uncertainty springing from having that moron in command though.

Donald Trump: “Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China."
Walmart: Sure, dude. We'll get right on that!

He’s run off anyone around him who would push back or tell him the truth. Nothing but sycophants around him now.

He also tweeted this a day or so later
For all of the Fake News Reporters that don’t have a clue as to what the law is relative to Presidential powers, China, etc., try looking at the Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. Case closed!
He was obviously talking about orders not suggestions
