The fascist dictatorship has already emerged. It consisted of accepting a phone call, saving 1,000 American jobs during the Holiday season and making a tweet about flag burning.
OMI GOMI*!!!!

Obama to push ahead on Taiwan frigate sales despite Chinese anger 14 Dec 2015
” FReepers really shouldnt quote and post WaPo drivel.”
Why not? They give us something to ridicule! It’s fun!
Sooooooo, has anyone in the press considered the possibility that maybe, just maybe, Trump intended to tweak China by taking this call?

The Obama administration announced the sale Friday of $6 billion worth of Patriot anti-missile systems, helicopters, mine-sweeping ships and communications equipment to Taiwan in a long-expected move that sparked an angry protest from China.
...
On Friday, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called on China to adopt a tougher stance against Tehran and took the unusual move of publicly warning Beijing of significant trouble if Iran's nuclear ambitions were not reined in. China has opposed slapping additional sanctions on Tehran.
...
U.S. and Chinese officials have also clashed recently over trade and investment issues, which for years constituted the bright side of their relationship. On Thursday, Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said U.S. companies face too many "headaches" in China and could lose interest if Beijing backslides on openness and the rule of law.
...
More problems could arise after a possible meeting between President Obama and the Dalai Lama, when the Tibetan spiritual leader visits the United States in February. China says the Dalai Lama is a separatist who wants to lead Tibet to independence.
...
Over the past month, at least six senior Chinese officials have warned the Obama administration not to sell the weapons to Taiwan, and some have raised the possibility that China might sanction the companies involved.
So, Trump taking a phone call is going to do more harm than these idiots??????
Washington Compost keeps posing a a serious news outlet.
Trump is setting the ground for negotiations with China. Smart move Mr. Trump.
The US did somting the Red Chinee no like. BOUT FREAKIN TIME.
The Washington Post and many other newspapers, like the NYTimes, will be be attacking Trump, no matter what he does, for the remainder of his term(s).
I am very confident that Trump is capable in dealing with the negative media (he's honed his trade in dealing with them over many years in NYC). He will not play their game and that will antagonize them even more. He will not use them to communicate to the American people as much as past presidents. He will continue to play his own game and the MSM will make themselves look like fools trying to keep up with him.
Can’t wait til Trump moves the embassy to Jerusalem. That will really rip these wusses
