I thought that Trump indicated that he ‘accepted a congratulatory call.’
Maybe.
I think Trump is actually smarter than that.
I think Trump is boxing in China in advance.
He puts out the signal to Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam (I’ll bet), etc. that he’d love to take their calls.
By the time he’s done glad handing all his new best friends, he’s got China surrounded before he takes the oath.
I’ll bet.
