Were you as puzzled as I was about the phone call heard around the world?
Mr. Trump spoke to the President of Taiwan – over the phone. Soooooo twentieth century.
For China, calls between POTUS and the Taiwanese President constitutes a breach of protocol, mostly because it might turn into phone sex (and then war), and partly because the Chinese need an island to vacation on. After they invade and destroy it, of course.
If China is your body, Taiwan is your baby toe nail.
Don't you think Mr. Trump should have caller I.D.?
"Pssst Don, it's her. Should I tell her you're busy closing a steak deal with Vlad?"
"Naw, I'll take it. Watch me sell some water"
I wonder if they are allowed to text or email. Maybe secret messages in fortune cookies?
I doubt you knew that we live in a world where one country tells another country who they can phone. I sure didn't know.
I call my old girlfriends all the time and my wife complains to no end. That doesn't mean I let her tell me who I can speak to.
What would I do if I were POTUS?
Well, I'm the last guy who wants to piss off China. They have such a proud history of stealing technology and selling human organs on the black market.
Still, if they called to complain about who I phone, I think I would tell them to speak loudly into the old sphincter phone.
