Trump’s innocent “she called me” is not an accurate reflection of how the Taiwan call happened.

“Donald Trump’s protocol-breaking telephone call with Taiwan’s leader was an intentionally provocative move that establishes the incoming president as a break with the past, according to interviews with people involved in the planning,” the Washington Post reports.

“The historic communication — the first between leaders of the United States and Taiwan since 1979 — was the product of months of quiet preparations and deliberations among Trump’s advisers about a new strategy for engagement with Taiwan that began even before he became the Republican presidential nominee, according to people involved in or briefed on the talks.”

    So the orange one wants to sabotage US relations with China. Electoral College are you getting this? This guy wants to hurt America. Please don’t vote for this. Use some common sense and at the very least, abstain from voting. You could forever tarnish your reputation as a human being if you vote for the orange one. He is going to actively hurt America’s relations with the rest of the world.

      I have given up hope and confidence in the EC…they have been unassuming and a rubber stamp for so long, that there is much confusion about the EC…Trumpism has become a mental illness…or a mental illness has overtaken trumpism…but either way, the EC must be given “permission” to exercise their constitutional obligation…to protect the Republic…just like the Military, protects us from foreign invasions, the EC was supposed to protect us from our home grown despots…of which Trump is one…but I can only see darkness, and hopelessness in the future…

      if cafe talk here is any indication, he has already tarnished the usa image. It has become a matter of ridicule, disappointment, and plain awe.

      Something tells me we’re going to be seeing those two words a lot,
      for a very long time.

        I hope we see those words. The News media had better start calling Trump out on his lies instead of giving him a pass.

          As do I.
          If and as long as Herr tRumpmiester keeps up his threats of suing anyone of slighting him, it should behoove the press to keep up with their criticism of him.

    He lied throughout the campaign .. lies non-stop but his supporters too moronic to care.
