Looks like someone in China showed Trump a copy of the Epstein Files.

Nah, a cheque or large buy of trump/melania coin or a tacky ‘gold’ trophy would do it too.

Simply being the most recent person to talk to Trump is enough. Maybe tomorrow Trump will talk with the president of Taiwan and have the opposite opinion afterward.

This is literally the most popular position of the people of Taiwan. Despite what western media tries to portray, Taiwan doesn’t want to become the next Ukraine. The overwhelming majority of Taiwanese people are not looking to make their home into an aircraft carrier for American fighter jets. Or become the ground for the next world powers proxy war.

Trump isn’t “warning” them. He’s literally just stating the obvious. Taiwan wants to remain in its current position and not escalate any conflict. Staying with the status quo is what has been the majority position of Taiwanese people for decades.
