Roughly 3 weeks into Trump as PEOTUS...

So Trump causing international relations snafus already-- took phone call from President of Taiwan, China apparently incensed.

Guys, this is going to be a bigger shitshow than you've imagined. He hasn't even started yet.
 
Right wingers on here, if Obama had been doing the stuff Trump has done so far, how would you be reacting?
 
They had a retired colonel on NPR this morning who deeply respects Mattis (but is also a #Hillshill). He said a big reason why you have a civilian in charge of the DOD is because they are better at looking out for the well being of the people in the military which is something a battlefield commander likely wouldn't consider as much. That the role of the Secretsry of Defense is not just military strategy. Said he would need a hell of an undersecretary to take care of that.

And he also thought it ironic that Mattis does a lot of reading and says how important it is to study up whereas our future Commander in Chief says he has no time or need to read.

It's not a problem, guys.

 
I've done some work when both Chinese and Taiwanese delegations are in the same room. You have to be incredible careful about protocol and terminology.

Unless of course you don't give a shit about pissing people off.

I'd really like to hear a serious answer to this question.

This is stuff you learn in middle school history class if not earlier.

For starters they would have lost their shit at Trump at Melania and Baron not moving into the WH.
 
Taiwan called him, guys. More msm LIES.

Mattis sounds like he might make a good President.
 
BSF? What if Obama had been doing this stuff?

I don't think BSF is the right one to ask. He is anti-Hillary and tough on immigration, etc. But I don't think he is a hard core RWer...he was a Bernie fan for a while. You need to ask Sailor, or JH, or someone like that.
