And that is the really big story from the recent election. Trump is big but exposing the MSM is much bigger.

Donald Trump looked to have sparked a potentially damaging diplomatic row with China on Friday after speaking to Taiwanese president Tsai Ing-wen on the telephone in a move experts said would anger Beijing.
The call, first reported by the Taipei Times and confirmed by the Financial Times, is thought to be the first between the leader of the island and a US president or president-elect since ties between America and Taiwan were severed in 1979, at Beijing’s behest.
The US closed its embassy in Taiwan – a democratically ruled island which Beijing considers a breakaway province – in the late 1970s following the historic rapprochement between Beijing and Washington that stemmed from Richard Nixon’s 1972 trip to China. Since then the US has adhered to the so-called “one China” principle which officially considers the independently governed island part of the same single Chinese nation as the mainland.
Trump’s transition team said Tsai, who was elected Tawain’s first female president in January, had congratulated the billionaire tycoon on his recent victory.
“During the discussion they noted the close economic, political, and security ties that exist between Taiwan and the United States,” a statement said. “President-elect Trump also congratulated President Tsai on becoming president of Taiwan earlier this year.” Beijing sought to play down the importance of the phone call, with foreign minister Wang Yi dismissing it as “just a small trick” by Taiwan.

Wouldn’t it be great if Donald worked in a visit to Taiwan on one of his visits to Asia??

“SVR is inside Trump building communications. SVR can listen to phone calls.”

And that is the really big story from the recent election. Trump is big but exposing the MSM is much bigger.
Has anyone in the MSM bothered to ask GWB or Obama if they ever had a phone conversation with the leader of Taiwan?
Hopefully, Trump will be calling Assad, Julian Assange & Snowden next.....
Nothing like some de-demonizing to unravel the lies of NWO conspiracy
Reagan’s key advisors, as well as papa Bush ‘opened’ China and were key to making China the major geopolitical threat it is becoming....
‘In order to engineer a war there has to be an enemy’
‘the media presumes there is a “risk” they might get mad.’.......Mad because it indicates that under a patriotic Administration US foreign policy will not continue to empower & equip our future enemy?
Mad Dog will bring a small war “coming to a theater near you” ... no wartime president has ever lost re-election ...
Obama’s State Dept must be in full meltdown mode!!
Yea, I was just unaware that Reagan never once communicated with Taiwan.
So the Reds are pissed . .so what?
What are they gonna do, steal our secrets?
The media is deliberately and intentionally omitting the part about “she calling him.” They want people to believe and repeat the lie.
They will do anything to trash Trump.
Maybe he should go and bow down to Saudi and Japan to make up for it. Maybe lay a wreath on Castro’s Jeep.
The Lib media can “Embrace the Suck” for all I care
