You were saying "make it de facto illegal to operate a multinational" and that is not on the table and has never been anywhere close to it.

Are you walking that back, and want to talk about loopholes now?

I consider forced repatriation to be a no-go. Others probably disagree with me, maybe even Tim Cook himself. IMO if you force companies to do something like that with their capital, then they won't incorporate in the US.

I do want to talk about loopholes. How do we close the "repatriation loophole"?
