    He cannot retain information for longer so whatever the last person he talked with said that’s what he’ll repeat.

      Well I hope he keeps speaking with Mamdani and Xi because it’s only been after them that he’s actually had actual reasonable takes.

      “I’m not flying 9000 miles to fight a war” might be the most reasonable thing he’s ever said.

      Unfortunately, you can hear his comments directly after China and he keeps saying “I haven’t decided” and “I’m not going to say yet”. Which basically means he hasn’t been told by his billionaire friends and neocons in Washington what to do yet.

      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.
