President-elect Donald J. Trump has broken with decades of diplomatic practice in freewheeling calls with foreign leaders.
Dec. 2
Mr. Trump talks to the president of Taiwan, becoming the first U.S. president or president-elect to do so since 1979.
Why it matters
The call with President Tsai Ing-wen risks infuriating China, which considers Taiwan a breakaway province governed by Chinese rebels. By honoring the Taiwanese president with a formal call, Mr. Trumps transition team implicitly suggests that it considers Taiwan an independent state. The U.S. has declined to recognize Taiwan since 1979, when it shifted recognition to the government in Beijing. Taiwan itself has yet to declare formal independence.

i approve of the Taiwan call. I hope he goes one step further and has a US Navy ship make a port of call in Kaohsiung.

He has said from day one he wants peace...
The media, talking heads, pundits and libs are going to have to accept that there is a new life in the old guard and things are going to be done differently...
I’ll just bet he will have a lot of people from foreign countries coming to the White House or Trump Tower to have dinner and a chat, and guess who won’t be invited...the media...ROFL...take that slimes!!!

This is what it looks like when a non politician, an outsider who is not controlled by donors and special interests, a true American patriot who understands that yes we did build it, a fearless non apologetic red blooded old fashioned Alpha male, a man who actually employed people and made things, a man unafraid of progressive fascists and their demagogic labels and a man who believes in AMERICA FIRST...This is what it looks, smells and feels like when he is, Thank You God, when he is President of the United States!

And, yet, Taiwan does exist, and I’m 100% positive it does. Now in a sane world, why would an American president ignore an important ally and trade partner and make friends with our enemies? It boggles the mind.
