House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) on Tuesday morning dismissed concern about Donald Trump’s unprecedented call last week with the president of Taiwan.
Ryan said it was “prudent for him to take congratulatory calls.” Ryan added that he himself has spoken with the president of Taiwan, and that outrage over Trump’s call with the Taiwanese leader was “much ado about nothing.”
The speaker said that it would have been a “snub” had Trump not taken the call with the president of Taiwan.
Trump’s call with the president of Taiwan last week, which had reportedly been in the work for weeks, prompted a warning from China.
“It must be pointed out that there is only one China in the world,” the Chinese foreign ministry said in a statement on Saturday. “We urge the relevant side in the U.S. to adhere to the ‘one China’ policy, abide by the pledges in the three joint China-U.S. communiques, and handle issues related to Taiwan carefully and properly to avoid causing unnecessary interference to the overall China-U.S. relationship.”
Since Trump’s calls, U.S. officials have reached out to China to stress America’s commitment to the One-China policy, according to White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest.
Get used to it. Shit that would have made them apoplectic had Obama done it will now be written off out of hand and swept under the rug for the next 4 years because IOKIYAWR. And have no doubt: The MSM will facilitate it at every turn.
So was this in a written statement or did he actually say this at a press gathering? If the former, why is no reporter challenging the assertion, given that members of the Trump regime were on the other end in Taiwan facilitating the call? And if in person, why was the question not posed to him on the spot?
If all journalism now is just reporting whatever crap is spewed, then how are they any different than the “fake news.” Might as well get the lies unfiltered, in their purest form.
I hope someone can save this so it doesn’t go down the memory hole when the Dow stars shedding 500 points per day and the Chinese no longer purchase US Treasuries.
China: Ayn Rand doesnt seem to know who is the boss.
But let’s not rule out investigating Hillary’s emails some more.
