      29. So Trump/Bannon have a radical foreign policy agenda but how to they implement it when state dept. bureaucracy will be hostile?

      30. So: there is an intent behind Trump's foreign policy antic but likely result is not new policy but an epic clusterfuck of confusion.

      31.An epic clusterfuck of confusion: Trump/Bannon will push bilateralism while State Dept (& Pentagon, likely) will resist.

      32. A few more thoughts on how Trump's unilateralist instincts coupled with his ignorance makes him a mark for adventurers.

      33. In phone call with Taiwan's President, crucial role played by Trump's staff & possibly some Cheney-ite adventurers (Bolton, Yates).

      34. But Trump's instinct to wing it coupled with a staff of adventurers (who did know One China policy) & outside adventurers led to this.

      35. As the example of George W. Bush shows, a blank slate President can easily be manipulated by advisors with a radical agenda.

      36. Trump's blustery defense of the call is worth pondering. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/804863098138005504 …

      37. It's true that One China policy rests on a paradox: USA doesn't have official relations with Taiwan but still sells weapons for defence

      38. As an ambiguous or paradoxical policy, One China policy can be critiqued. If Trump wants to, he should be free to change.

      39.The problem here is that Trump isn't changing the policy intentionally but upending it out of ignorance (and staff manipulation).

          Is seems to be purposeful ignorance. He distrusts elite consensus & doesn't bother to learn it, then tunes out those who share it.

          I doubt anyone either steeped in or respectful of dipolomatic niceties & protocol will be offered the Secretary of State position.

          This has the same feel as Bannon's subterfuge in setting the press up w/women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual predation.

          Great insights, but tweets 1 & 39 seem to contradict each other, unless the intent in #1 isn't Trump's. Rhetorical point, really.

          Probably unintentionally. Also possible that he actually has a plan here, which may be worse.
