Apparently he actually does have that power, but only under certain circumstances (the country on a war footing, etc).

I actually quite enjoy the sideshow that is US politics, watching each side take turns at grabbing headlines, and it all depends on which news network you watch, as to how the story is slanted.

With the option of more Donald, or the Green New Disaster, it's better than any reality tv!

He upsets plenty on the right, too.

He really doesn't understand what "rule of law" means, separation of powers, and the actual limit of his own powers

I reckon the Chinese will just play a patient waiting game, let Trump alienate his own people and self-destruct, and come out winners in the long game. We should stay out of the whole affair.

He really gives me the irits. He opens his big inarticulate loud gob & Oz gets dragged down with his stupid decisions that seem to be made on the fly.

Neither will give an inch (25mm) you can bet.

Given that he has a 54% disapproval rating, it's not just "lefties" that he's upsetting.

So I read - but he hasn't declared an emergency with China yet.

Can't imagine companies like Apple are going to be too impressed about being told they have to leave China and relocate to the USA. They're more likely to go to somewhere like Vietnam.

I must say that the longer this crap goes on the more I become pro China.

Case in point was "Should we go out for lunch?" The Empress Garden wins every time as opposed to Maccy D, Hungry Jack etc etc




And let's be honest, their manufactured products are very good these days or those are that I have used.



Hhhmmmm, I wonder if they make a Direct Push Series LR Starter Switch?
