The important bit is that it be as ambiguous as possible about his meaning or what he's going to do, so that everyone can sit around in dread and uncertainty.

Trump likes sneak attacks, right? All this Taiwan poo poo will turn out to be a bluff when he takes office and launches a surprise liberation campaign for Tibet.

I think Taiwan played Trump, who doesn't know anything about diplomacy and seems uninterested in learning. We should expect nothing but that from foreign leaders as things go forward.

ya know we take it for granted that the US is the diplomatic centre of the world but it might not be that way much longer. american presidents might seem to act aloof and arrogant, and it might seem like the US just constantly does its own thing with no regard for what anyone else thinks. but actually america is the most diplomatically engaged country in the world and benefits a lot from having allies everywjere, it just tends to do business bilaterally and in the background. people take it for granted that americans are able to move quickly and safely across most of the world, bringing their money with them and doing business relatively easily and cheaply in almost any country they'd like to.

there's already been a big decline in US influence since its height- we've seen a somewhat-effective global climate regime developing since 1992 without US leadership, and sometimes in spite of direct US opposition. and the US share of the global economy is inevitably going to shrink over the next century until it's more in proportion with its population. the US under trump might find it's not automatically invited to every party anymore.
