bah! Trump will call Taiwan any time he wants, long distance and he will make the chicoms pay for the call.
These people are morons. They must think Trump has been living in a cave.
He's obviously living rent-free in somebody's head. Notice that he ISN'T President yet?
"Moron" is too mild a word.
Agree.
The Chinese have been stealthily waging war against the American people for quite long time. For too long. they absolutely have to be stopped! Trumps inner seething rage against the Chinese government, I completely understand.
good for him. I hate it when friends in real life tell me I cant talk to that person if I want to be there friend. I hate it even more when a country does it. its up to china to establish its legitimacy as governing that Island. the way I see it the island has been its own country for over 70 years. there is no valid claim by china over the territory because there is a functioning government there.
Just saw Trump’s tweet that the president of Taiwan called him to congratulate him. Still can’t believe the MSM.
China Protests Sale of U.S. Arms to Taiwan
HONG KONG The Obama administrations announcement that it would sell $1.83 billion worth of arms to Taiwan, including two warships and antitank missiles, has drawn a swift rebuke from China, which threatened to penalize the companies that made the armaments and summoned a United States diplomat to register an official protest."
Love it! Used the video to poke one of my uber-liberal friends who was having a hissy fit about Trump’s ignorance at destroying our relationship with China (based on a HuffPo article). They were ranting about how dangerous Trump is, and pointedly said they weren’t interested in any rebuttal from Trump supporters. (Nice and open-minded, eh?). I just posted a link to the video and left it there.
I bet the state department is really stampy foot mad now too!
Well then they should have called first...
Duterte invite is huge.
Trump is not the President at this point.
More leverage over them in future dealings.
Trump knows China well - long history of dealings there.
His Grand daughter Arabella was a big hit in Chinese social media, reciting poetry in Mandarin for Chinese New Year:
This is a good time to conduct a hiring freeze and open up an embassy in Antarctica. Begin a 3 year rotation for all State Department employees till there are none left. Then start over. Hire strictly from the military.
Elaine Chao, who Trump has selected as Transportation Secretary, is Taiwanese.
Not only is she fluent in Chinese, but her wealthy father had a close personal relationship with former Communist Chinese Premier Jiang Zemin, as well as elites on the mainland and in Taiwan.
No, Trump did not just fall off the turnip truck - and Trump was not elected by the sudden appearance of 60 million white supremacists.
At some point, reality may begin to creep into the media’s bubble. It will be a harsh awakening for them. In the meantime, they will squander what little is left of their credibility with such off-the-wall misrepresentations.
The NY Times is blathering on about this yipping and whimpering about Trump inviting the Philippine President accused of “human right abuses”. I didn’t see the NY times whimpering and blathering when Obama went over to the Saudis and kissed and bowed to the Saudi King who rules over a country that oppresses every damn thing in the sun which isn’t Muslim and isn’t male. Hypocrisy of the NY Times the scum rag of the century.
Good. Taiwan deserves our support.
FOR 48 DAYS, 2 HOURS AND 37 MINUTES!
Is all this a matter of setting a new course or will there be a course correction/adjustment in the future? In this case, I hope it’s for real. China needs a sobering pill.
Typical Oligarch trick. Accuse Trump of doing something wrong as President, when he is still a private citizen and not President.
