Trump spoke to the President of Taiwan - the first contact by an American President or President-elect in about 40 years. Thereby he contradicted the American policy toward China for the past 40 years. Mainland China maintains that they are the one and only China and the American position accepts that position. China is a major trading partner and holds countless amounts of American government debt.
It is reported that Trump has not accepted the daily intelligence briefings nor has he consulted with the US Department of State. So why did Trump take this action? Why did he tell the President of Pakistan that he (the President of Pakistan) was great?
Why is Trump doing these things? Either he is simply stupid, choosing to take positions contrary to long standing positions of the US government, listening to someone who wants to destabilize American foreign relations. Is he trying to undermine Obama and the sitting US government? He can't wait to screw it up until he is sworn in? reporters say that John Bolton was visiting Trump today. Did he listen to this radical out of the mainstream voice?
This is the same person who last night declared publicly that his promises (to keep carrier jobs in the US) are "euphanisms"! Trump has told us that he views his words as meaning nothing!
Can it get more terrifying?
