Trump takes a phone call and then says it's no big deal, Taiwan just called for congratulations. Public and press get upset, Trump spokespersons downplay the implications of the phone call and then Trump tweets enumerating serious issues that he has with China's policies and then VP-Elect Pence and Trump surrogates say it's just a Trump response to those distressed by his phone call and he supports the One China policy.
Isn't it reasonable to be confused? What does Trump want? Just this - keep everyone guessing. After all, he said during the campaign that he liked being unpredictable. well, here it is in action. And at best, this is an inappropriate way to conduct foreign policy, worse, it's terrifying.
