Trump now tweeting about the criticism of his call with Taiwan, this should go well.

The President of Taiwan CALLED ME today to wish me congratulations on winning the Presidency. Thank you!

Reports were that someone on Trump's team initiated things, and AP reports that the call was arranged ahead of time according to presidential spokesperson in Taiwan.

So the response to a diplomatic issue is "they started it", I'm sure pinning it on Taiwan's president really improves things.

He's not done there

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

And China's imposed sanctions because of those sales. They sell old defensive equipment to Taiwan as part of a system to keep peace, and I bet they're negotiated behind the scenes while publicly China says they're upset. If Trump would talk to the state department before doing things he'd probably be made aware of these things.
