It’s about time an American President stuck his finger in the eye of the Chinese communist thugs.

The Taiwan PM initiated the call....according to a Trump Tweet.

[spokeshave]

Regarding your second question

Yes...and was probably after his Bolton meeting.

It's too late for me to check the timelines now.

[Enlightened1]

Who made the call only matters to the China.

It really does not matter WHO made the call.

What kind of nonsense is this from Hot Air?

Is Hot Air representing America or communist China?

[Enlightened1]

All the reason why I tuned out of Hot Air too many moons ago.

They are Globalist first then conservatives. I don’t believe in Globalist. They are full of crap.

The President of Taiwan CALLED ME today to wish me congratulations on winning the Presidency. Thank you!

Interesting how the U.S. sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call.

She called.

That’s not necessarily the same as initiating it.

Two. He knew. Of course.

Inside baseball. Prince Rebus is good friends with Stephen Yates. Yates happens to be in Taiwan.

I can’t say enough how great this is that Trump did this.

The Reds can’t tell anyone who they may or may not speak to. “Diplomacy” or not.

Allahpundit is a massive never trumper. Everything post on Trump he ever does is 100% negative. It’s irritating and it’s probably losing them traffic.

[Mr Radical]

It seems that a lot of people are unable to control their anguish over the Trump victory and in their desparation their true colours are now coming out.

I suspect that the Chinese have more sense than Hot Air.

[Wpin]

An American President must be willing to speak to any other nations leader when they reach out. Screw China.

Trump to Taiwan - "You can approach me and we can talk."

Trump to China - "If you have something to say, you can come to me, and be polite or get sent to the corner."

Let me see......China takes over a disputed atoll hundreds of miles from its shores, and builds a military base on it, while Obama huddles in fear in the Oval Office. Meanwhile, Trump receives a congratulatory phone call from the president of Taiwan.

Who committed the biggest diplomatic blunder?

[Sicon]

Maybe Trump should return the bust of Chairman Mao that Obama put in place of the bust of Churchill in the Oval Office...

[ml/nj]

Two questions. One: Who initiated the call? And two: Did he understand the significance of what he was doing when it happened?

I've got a third question.

If the reporter thinks he understands the significance, why does he not think Trump would understand its significance?
