The world leaders are calling Trump. Not the other way around.

Yup, and the media is not reporting it that way.

Best election ever!

Now if he really wants to ruffle feathers he should personally meet with the Dali Lama and schedule an official White House visit in the spring. The NYT would go into full cognitive dissonance (we like the DL but the Chinese don't and you're not supposed to have official visits with him, the horror!).

Extending a hand of friendship to a country that has harbored Bin Laden and, thru collusion with the Haqani and Taliban, cost countless US lives is not wise. Everyone knows Pakistani's duplicity, including Trump.

There will be a course correction or change. Trump team has already been down-playing it and saying Trump didn't mean what the Pakistanis seem to have understood.

Having said that, I hope Trump is serious in sending a message to China by his phone dialogue with Taiwanese President. Pakistan is no Taiwan.

Screw the Chinese...
They can do missile tests and have their state news agency boast to the world of them “being able to destroy US Pacific bases”, but Trump cannot take a phone call from Taiwan??
We challenged the last communist empire on the world stage.
About time we did it to the current one.

Next thing you know, certain Religious Figures will be allowed to enter the Front Door of the White House rather than being forced to use the service entrance by the Garbage.

Then why the hand wringing?

If jOkeass had taken the call the Slimes would have called it brilliant.
