Trump's Twitter 20190823-24

President Trump used the word “enemy;” however, he used it to depict Jay Powell as well as Chairman Xi.

中國23日宣布對750億美元美國貨加徵5-10％關稅。

美國總統川普隨後宣布2500億美元中國貨關稅於10月1日由25％調高至30％，原訂9月1日及12月15日實施的3000億美元中貨關稅也由10％調高至15％。

When I looked up to the sky and jokingly said “I am the chosen one,” at a press conference two days ago, referring to taking on Trade with China, little did I realize that the media would claim that I had a “Messiah complex.”  They knew I was kidding, being sarcastic, and just....

Now the Fed can show their stuff!

As usual, the Fed did NOTHING!  It is incredible that they can “speak” without knowing or asking what I am doing, which will be announced shortly. We have a very strong dollar and a very weak Fed.  I will work “brilliantly” with both, and the U.S. will do great...

....My only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi?

Our Country has lost, stupidly, Trillions of Dollars with China over many years.  They have stolen our Intellectual Property at a rate of Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year, & they want to continue.  I won’t let that happen!  We don’t need China and, frankly, would be far better off without them.  The vast amounts of money made and stolen by China from the United States, year after year, for decades, will and must STOP.  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.  I will be responding to China’s Tariffs this afternoon.  This is a GREAT opportunity for the United States.  Also, I am ordering all carriers, including Fed Ex, Amazon, UPS and the Post Office, to SEARCH FOR & REFUSE, all deliveries of Fentanyl from China (or anywhere else!).  Fentanyl kills 100,000 Americans a year.  President Xi said this would stop - it didn’t.  Our Economy, because of our gains in the last 2 1/2 years, is MUCH larger than that of China.  We will keep it that way!

The Dow is down 573 points perhaps on the news that Representative Seth Moulton, whoever that may be, has dropped out of the 2020 Presidential Race!

For many years China (and many other countries) has been taking advantage of the United States on Trade, Intellectual Property Theft, and much more.  Our Country has been losing HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS a year to China, with no end in sight....

....Sadly, past Administrations have allowed China to get so far ahead of Fair and

Balanced Trade that it has become a great burden to the American Taxpayer.  As President, I can no longer allow this to happen!  In the spirit of achieving Fair Trade, we must Balance this very unfair Trading Relationship.  China should not have put new Tariffs on 75 BILLION DOLLARS of United States product (politically motivated!).  Starting on October 1st, the 250 BILLION DOLLARS of goods and products from China, currently being taxed at 25%, will be taxed at 30%.

Additionally, the remaining 300 BILLION DOLLARS of goods and products from China, that was being taxed from September 1st at 10%, will now be taxed at 15%.  Thank you for your attention to this matter!
