"[We're planning to declare independence.]" "I think they're congratulating me. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, NICE OF YOU TO CALL." -- nm - Trump Dec 2, 20:06
Both could be true - trump's people could have set it up and Taiwan could technically be the caller. - Beryllium Dec 2, 19:58
You need to cut me some slack. I have only had 3 security briefings. -- nm - Trump's dog ate his homework Dec 2, 17:37
I thought someone was calling me to Tie One On, you know. Drinks? But I found out it was Taiwan, WTF!! -- nm - Trump's dog ate his homework Dec 2, 17:34
News in Taipei reports Trump arranged the call. -- (link) - ty97 Dec 2, 17:02 19
- Both can be true of course. Trump camp could have arranged but Taiwan could have dialed Trump -- nm - ty97 Dec 2, 17:10 1

    - Oh God ... is foreign policy going to become as much of an ... "interest" ... as political polling? - ReluctantCynic Dec 2, 17:13 1
      - It's a choice between that and anime porn -- nm - ty97 Dec 2, 17:25
    - see below - I totally wasn't targeting at you, baybee. -- nm - b. Dec 2, 17:12 1
      - oh I know! Was just clarifying that I don't necessarily believe/agree with everything I post - ty97 Dec 2, 17:13
  - eh, it doesn't really matter. they could well have arranged it and just let taiwan place the call...nm - x Dec 2, 17:08 5
    - I think we all get that, I'm specifically poking at that twitter post's taking news stories as The Truth. -- nm - b. Dec 2, 17:11 4
      - sure...nm - x Dec 2, 17:12 3

        important, no; but it may add something enjoyable to your weekend plans. -- nm - b. Dec 2, 17:19
  - I'm operating from the principle that if there are two options and Trump says A, it's B. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 17:05 2
    - mostly agreed, I just don't get the "nope" being so certain there. -- nm - b. Dec 2, 17:07 1
      - Partly b/c Trump and partly b/c from the Taiwanese perspective, making a direct call to the US President-elect is a very big move. - Roger More Dec 2, 17:26
i'm generally not one to link to a, well, i'm even hesitant to use the word tweetstorm (in the main because that isn't a word)... - x Dec 2, 16:56 3
- and they're gonna do mercantilism with *which* overseas colonies again? -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 17:19
- Was literally just now reading this! -- nm - ty97 Dec 2, 17:02 1
  - that thread kind of just made me entirely convinced we're getting john bolton for secretary of state...nm - x Dec 2, 17:06
Oh, OK then -- nm - China Dec 2, 16:48
Good Lord. This went from "What a bozo" to "It's all a devious scheme" to "I was just holding the pot for him!" in under an hour. -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 16:47 2
- The President of Taiwan is a woman. -- nm - ty97 Dec 2, 16:49 1
  - hahaha, sure he is -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 17:19
