After Trump demanded US companies to boycott China, the social media mocks his formal yet passive line 'I hereby order’.

The latest attempts of Trump to escalate the economic war with China included a series of demands of American companies who do business in the country. They included an order for American firms to cease production in China.

Trump said that “American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China” demanding to bring companies back to the U.S. The proclamation, which the president does not have the power to enforce, might have been expected to unleash a wave of panic and terror among America’s mostly capitalist citizenry – such state-mandated orders are, after all, the stuff of planned-economy communist countries. Instead, Twitter and Social Media in the U.S resorted mainly to mocking Trump and his rhetorical flourishes using the Hashtag “I hereby order” major politicians and influencers.
