I'm going give TX the benefit of doubt for now. Maybe it's just too soon for the kind of help Quebec is offering.

Or maybe it's a language barrier thing.

That's fair. I kept waiting to see a quote where the SOS said something like "Not now, but we may need you soon. In the meantime, please keep us in your prayers." Maybe that's an unspoken understanding.

I don't see a way. It usually doesn't take this long for him to say something stupid on a subject. Wink

Its never Trump's fault.
But I'm sure he consulted with his Secretaries of State, Treasury, Commerce and the acting Director of FEMA before he started tweeting about economic sanctions against China and South Korea.

Who's going to replace the 95% of consumer electronics that have components manufactured in those countries? Over 50% of residential electrical hardware like switches, dimmers, outlets and wall plates come from China. Over 90% of residential lighting and fans (ceiling and bathroom) are manufactured in China. Then consider how many dealerships in the US are dependent of selling cars with Chinese and/or S. Korean components.

How do you think that would fly in Texas when Houston and surrounding communities are looking at a massive rebuild?

We have a POTUS who tweets and never sees past the send button.

What sanctions and penalties is going to put on his daughter for the agreements made with China for the family business at his Hotel in Florida?
