    Wow, only took her three years to finally do what should have been done immediately after Trump was elected..Yet she didn't do it for ethics just economics.

    The reason was China's spin but whatever the reason your previous post was based on tired outdated democrat talking points

    Wow! That's from a year ago! And Ivanka has shut down nothing

    What you post is from July of 2018.

    Look at what happened in January of this year

    https://www.vogue.com/article/ivanka-trump-china-business-trademarks

    And this last May

    https://www.scmp.com/news/world/uni...ina-approves-13-new-ivanka-trump-trademarks-3

    You can be sure that if Ivanka's businesses in China are shut down, it will be only because she is following her family tradition of bankrupting businesses due to their incompetence.

    Her business with China is shut down so your rhetoric about her in China as her dad tells companies to resource elsewhere is fake news

    You don't read the links, do you? Are you scared of suddenly becoming "informed"? It's not a disease, you know....

    Second link is a no go. First link says her business in China is closed.

    So since the news you sent from July of last year says that she pinky promised to shut down her business, you don't want to read that she had 13 new trademarks approved just 3 months ago by the Chinese government.

    The purest form of ' "na-na-na-na-na-I-can't-hear-you" logic. It never fails.

    Trade marks is not doing business. Your own link says her "wildly successful" company shut down. Her trademarks are keeping the door open for future business if and or when our trade dispute is resolved. What confuses you about this? You don't know the difference between trademark patents and manufacturing? Or maybe you don't read your own links? Just the headline maybe?

    So, is Ivanka now a deep state career politician? Or Washington insider? Or any other derogatory term Trump fans had for people in public service before Trump?

    Trump has no authority to order anyone to leave China.

    all he can do is impose more tariffs

    Why don't you quote it? I'll tell you why. Because the quote would make it clear that even though she bankrupted one business last year, she just went on with other new ones.

    Now... if you have anything productive to contribute, let's hear it. But if you're going to keep looking for selective "spins" to get away from admitting that your original statement was nonsense, then I'm not interested.

    Whatever she is or isn't she is no longer manufacturing in China as you liberals claim. Myth busted

    Your link you quote where it says she's manufacturing in China as you claim. You're losing it here buddy. Her business in China is shut down.

    "In a farewell statement she issued when announcing that she would close her company last year, Ivanka did not rule out a future in fashion. “After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business,” she said, “but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington, so making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners"

    What confuses you here?

    If all you can do is keep quoting her fake "farewell statement" from over a year ago, despite the fact that she is still very much in business there (as shown in the links), we have nothing more to learn from you

    Give me the quote that proves your assertion or I'm going to call you a troll and move on. Troll or not?
    And remember getting trademarks is not manufacturing or even doing business.

    Tick tock, put up or shut up

    Oh? Is that why Trump have to "order" them back? So the only economic "emergency" is in Trump's head? Got it.

    Can Trump order US companies out of China?

    Not really but he doesn't expect them to comply. This is simply one of many missiles launched in the trade war. He wants China to feel an economic threat whether it is real or not. By the way, Chinese imports are only 2.7% of the American economy. The trade war for us isn't really an economic war at all. The important aspect is to attack and try to change China's behavior about technology theft and other things.

    I think Trump's threat is also a signal to American companies manufacturing in China that the heat is turning up and he is giving them another reason and incentive to start looking for alternative sources.

    I agree. It is all positive, contrary to what the Trump haters think.
