Our pal, Donald Drumpf, is doing "twitter diplomacy" with China*

1. Sad. Is this real?

[etherealtruth]

2. If real, it is just one more embarrassment wrought upon our country by this buffoon

4. Oh yeah.

President-elect Donald Trump has risked further inflaming US relations with China, after he used Twitter on Saturday to accuse China of an “unpresidented (sic) act” in its seizing of an unmanned American submarine this week.
...
His message – itself without precedent given his status as a president-elect commenting on an international incident before assuming power – was likely to worsen fears of increased US-China tensions under his presidency that have grown over his rhetoric on trade and policy towards Taiwan.
...
On Friday, in a press conference at the White House, Barack Obama had cautioned Trump against allowing relations with China to slip into “full conflict mode”.
...
On Thursday, Bonnie Glaser, director of the China Power Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told the Guardian the seizure of the drone looked “like signalling from the Chinese in response to Trump’s Taiwan call”.

8. What are we going to do, Rug?

Trump makes George W. Bush look like Albert Einstein.

10. Personally, I'm giving him no credence for anything he says

and no authority for anything he does.

Anyone in power possesses it only to the extent people accept it.

9. hopefully he won't be presidented but if he is

we'll at least have fun with his stoooopid statements

[spanone]

6. and showing his ignorance to the world.

7. "Unpresidented" act? It's a good thing he's told us he's really smart.

Otherwise, we might start to think that he's an idiot.
