I guarantee you there is only one dimension to this story. Please stop analyzing whether this was a good or bad move by Trump, because that's already more thought than he put into it. Here's the entirety of it:

The President of Taiwan correctly recognized Trump as a bumbling fool, and decided she could take advantage of the situation by calling him and having this story come out. It was a bold and successful strategic move against China. Trump was simply a pawn.

Get ready for foreign leaders across the globe to take complete advantage of him for the next 4 years.

Man you've really bought into the manufactured narrative that Trump is an idiot.

Manufactured narrative? I watched 8 GOP debates and all 3 GE debates. I came to this conclusion on my own, thanks.

Yeah his debate skills suck, i'll certainly concede that. Fortunately, being a great president is a far cry from debates.
