Leverage Maneuver - Trump Talks Openly With Taiwan President
CNN via The Conservative Treehouse ^ | December 2, 2016 | CNN posted by Sundance

Ok, this one strategic maneuver has just pegged my too-much-winning needle on max overdrive. Donald Trump took a congratulatory phone call from the President of Taiwan, and now the Chinese will be apoplectic.

Those of you who have been with us for a while, will note our arguments against China’s MFN (Most Favored Nation) trade status have continually fallen on deaf ears within DC. Why? Because they are political ears paid to remain necessarily deaf, while various Chinese national interests have taken influence over our legislative priorities on trade and commerce.

Donald Trump is not even inaugurated yet and he’s making some phenomenal changes. I am really going to enjoy the next four years!

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

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

Bite your tongue sir. 8 + 8 = 16 years

Donald took Pence on as a worthy apprentice. I have seen changes in him already. He was / is my governor and is a good man. The man is growing a set and casting off PC. About damned time.

Jimmy Carter was the traitor who cut Taiwan off. The same traitor who gave away the Panama Canal and let Iran invade our embassy. The MSM should be careful about dredging up those memories.

They often did a more reasonable job back then, than Red China does now.

Trump ought to propose an “unfreedom tax.” The more unfree the country, the higher the tax is.

” I am really going to enjoy the next four years!”

I’m looking forward to at least 8 years! And in that time maybe some of these aging Commie RATs will die off!

“Jimmy Carter was the traitor who cut Taiwan off. The same traitor who gave away the Panama Canal and let Iran invade our embassy. The MSM should be careful about dredging up those memories.”

He’s another reprehensible piece of skin that I’m hoping will be “called home” very soon!

He communicates with the common man. His vernacular is.....deplorable.

He’s really gotten up there in years.

Maybe this (like in the case of Fidel Castro) happens so that nobody could ever say to God “They had no chance.”

Yup. My initial impression of Pence was an empty
suit politician.
