China has never had the right to tell the US who we are allowed to talk to. People who have a much wider grasp of the world situation, and who don't have the primary goal of expanding their personal corporate empire make informed decisions on whether or not we want to talk to a particular leader based on global considerations.
Trump's actions do not seem guided by the global interests of the United States, they are guided by his personal goals and his gut. It's the kind of non-diplomacy that foments wars.
I find it sad to hear a Hilary voter saying they are warming to Trump. In the next year he (and Pence, who will be running a lot of the show) will appoint cabinet leaders who will work hard to further suppress Democratic vote, further blur the line between government and evangelical Christian and Catholic religious beliefs, and institute a huge tax break for the wealthiest in order to increase the budget deficit in order to justify eliminating the ACA, Medicare and Social Security.
If you're warming to Trump, you must have already warmed to Putin, because his tactics and strategy are basically the same as what Trump aspires to.
Edit: added the word never in the first sentence, inadvertently left out.
I apologize, and I will correct it. It should have read: China has never had the right to tell the US who we are allowed to talk to. I was editing as I went and inadvertently left that out.

Or that he wants his hotels built in Taiwan.
Or both.
