The Boss of Bosses.He can't. That's only allowed in fascist regimes.
I'm ready for the defenders to come in and tell us all he doesn't really mean order.
He hasn’t jumped the shark. He IS the shark.At what point will Donald fans admit he's jumped the shark?
Of course he does.
"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!). "
What?
OK
Please explain why the government shouldn't require all packages entering there country to be checked for Fentynyl.
Trump's trade agenda on the verge of imploding
President Donald Trump is heading toward his 2020 reelection campaign with virtually nothing to show for his big trade promises — except for angry farmers and a jittery stock market.I wonder if folks realize that the importer is the one who pays the duty, then passes off the cost to the consumer. So GM orders parts they need from China, then has to pay the duty, and they pass the cost of that duty onto the consumer.
A long-sought deal with China appears to be falling apart, exposing businesses on both sides of the Pacific to more tariffs and steep losses for farmers. His new pact with Canada and Mexico is facing significant opposition in Congress even from Republicans, who are demanding that he lift steel and aluminum tariffs before they’ll vote on it. Deals with the European Union, Japan and Great Britain are also stalled by politics here and abroad.
Trump’s failure to reach agreements with America’s trading partners could have a brutal impact on the economy and his reelection effort, even if his base likes his tough talk on China. By the time voters head to the polls in 2020, the prices of consumer goods could be skyrocketing. Farmers may be swamped with products they can’t sell abroad. And a bear market could be shrinking everyone’s retirement savings.
Customs checks this stuff, not carriers. This is pretty common knowledge.
It is simply a matter of another declaration of emergency, ordering, for national security reasons, for companies not to purchase certain products from China. Perhaps, this would be restricted to future contracts.
If there is a list, I think the courts would let this stand, as would Congress.
If it all products, the legal argument is a bit different. I still see it going through.
Only when a republican is in office, obviously. Whenever the office is held by a democrat again this will of course be tyranny.Ah so we have devolved to the point where the President can do whatever he wants so long as he declares a national emergency?
He ordered the carriers to do it, not customs. Why defend this idiocy?So, you point is that EVERY package that the carriers deliver is being inspected?
If not, Trump's request stands. The issue is NOT really who makes the inspections. The issue is that every package be inspected for drugs.

In the case of the postal service he ordered them to violate the fourth amendment in doing so.He ordered the carriers to do it, not customs. Why defend this idiocy?
Ah so we have devolved to the point where the President can do whatever he wants so long as he declares a national emergency?
There is a law with regard to national emergency. And, yes, the Congress gave the president great powers under this law. Congress can vote to refuse, but they won't.
So, yes, the president an do almost anything, with the approval of Congress (or with Congress not objecting). That is our system.
