      10. Lots of other American politicians share Trump's concerns about supposed Chinese currency manipulation, barriers to trade, etc.

      11 But Trump isn't making these possibly legitimate critiques as part of negotiating with China. He's turned them into a twitter rant.

      12. A twitter rant that contextually links of Trump's trade objections with issue that Chinese hugely value, Taiwan's status

      13. Trade is a delicate issue, status of Taiwan is a hugely delicate issue. Linking them is explosive & could break relationship with China

      14. China has 1.3 billion people, nuclear weapons, & world's 2nd largest national economy. Not a government you want to anger on a whim.

      15. Again: if Trump's administration wanted to change One China policy, that's one thing. But this is creating a crisis by pure chaos.

      16. There's a political constituency in USA for standing up to China but (outside of extremists like Bolton) not for doing it in Trump's way

      17. In fact, there are likely many people in GOP & especially corporate American who don't want trade war (or worse) with China.

      18. So far, GOP (Ryan/McConnell) has shown every sign of caving in to Trump. They want their tax cut & SCOTUS nominee.

      19. But it's hard to imagine corporate America, so much of which relies on Chinese supply chain, is pleased by Trump's antics.

          Was the lying about who initiated the call afterwards also part of the plan, or just a happy accident?

          Yet he deflected and lied about it initially. China will stop producing all his cheap ties and gold plated crap.

          21. This is a crucial point. Call was long planned but then Trump & his team lied & said it was casual call https://twitter.com/justinjm1/status/805589881607122944 …

          I'm not sure this claim isn't the lie. But of course that's the whole point here. Misstep/evil scheme, same difference.

          with Trump, motive or intent is irrelevant. Means absolutely nothing. The only meaning is in outcome.
