Trump's "risky" Phone Call

This comes as no surprise to me, but the liberal media outlets are losing their minds over Trump's call with Tsai Ing-wen, the newly elected Taiwanese President. CNN reported, "US officials have talked at least twice with Beijing amid concern that President-elect Donald Trump was endangering ties between the two countries after his conversation with Taiwan's leader last week, the White House said on Monday." U.S. News & World Report published an article titled "Donald Trump’s Taiwan Call Signals Rocky and Potentially Dangerous Diplomacy Ahead". The Guardian, what a noble name, called Trump's call a "Gaffe or provocation, Donald Trump's Taiwan phone call affects global stability". I could go on with more links, but you see my point.

I know the media's freaking out about this call because Trump is threatening to change the dynamics of, the media's golden boy, Obama's, globalist policies. They don't want Trump to fail so the Democrats can get back in the White House in four years, so everything that Trump does will be criticized by the media monster that we have. It's not only about Chinese-US relations, it's who the president-elect is.

I don't see how the phone call between Trump and Tsai Ing-wen endangers anything. They just congratulated each other about their respective accomplishments in democratic elections. Trump didn't encourage Tsai Ing-wen to break away from China or anything like that. I think it's a good thing, actually, for Trump to speak with a Taiwanese president considering no American president has done so since 1979. 

Trump isn't trying to start a war, he's just shaking up the world order a little bit. Obama had his chance to bring about change and he didn't do it, so it's Trump's turn now.

I'm going to quote a Fox News article about this, "The fact that a simple courtesy call caused so much trepidation and genuflections to past protocol just shows how absurd U.S.-China policy has become. If a little courtesy to a democratic friend and a little truth about Taiwan could really threaten peace in the Pacific, as the experts contend, then we need to reevaluate our defense and come up with something better."

I mean I could be wrong and Trump could've just started World War 3, but I don't believe he has.
