Trump makes ONE phone call, FREAKS out liberals, ANGERS China, sends Obama SCRAMBLING [Updated]

by SooperMexican

The first test of Trump’s unorthodox ruling principles, if you can call them that, has come in one historic phone call to Taiwan. Everyone is freaking out because no President has done this in decades, and China has a historic hostility to the country.

UPDATE: Trump tweets about his controversial phone call – I’ve added it to the bottom of the post.

And apparently the White House is scrambling to appease China because they didn’t know Trump was going to do this:

Meanwhile, some conservatives are praising Trump because China is, well, Communist after all:

But that’s odd too, since Trump actually PRAISED the authoritarian Chinese government when it cracked down on protesters in Tiananmen Square!! So whatever, nothing matters.

Oh and there’s this tidbit too. People on the left are pointing out this report from a month ago:

It’s hard to dismiss the clear conflict of interest of Eric Trump going to Taiwan to scout out business opportunities :

The mayor of Taoyuan confirmed rumors on Wednesday that US president-elect Donald Trump was considering constructing a series of luxury hotels and resorts in the northwest Taiwanese city.

A representative from the Trump Organization paid a visit to Taoyuan in September, expressing interest in the city’s Aerotropolis, a large-scale urban development project aimed at capitalizing on Taoyuan’s status as a transport hub for East Asia, Taiwan News reports.With the review process for the Aerotropolis still underway, Taoyuan’s mayor referred to the subject of the meeting as mere investment speculation. Other reports indicate that Eric Trump, the president-elect’s second son and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, will be coming to Taoyuan later this year to discuss the potential business opportunity.

But will anyone care? His supporters are already covering for the “crony capitalism” of his Carrier deal. Why would they care if he’s selling influence to benefit his business? That only matters when Hillary does it.

UPDATE!!

Does it sound like Trump is worried he screwed up and he’s covering his Obama here?

Or maybe he really has no idea what he’s done. We’re through the looking glass here, people.
