It was reported by the Taiwan press his staff set up an arranged time for when he would take a congratulatory call.  How else would they get his number?

right, because they called and expressed desire to congratulate Trump. 

you don't think his staff called Taiwan and told them to call Trump and congratulate him on his victory, do you?  like when red wants to talk to me, he calls first then my people call him back and inform him of a prearranged time that I will speak with him.

and by my people, i mean Adam.

From his Twitter

The U.S. is going to substantialy reduce taxes and regulations on businesses, but any business that leaves our country for another country,

fires its employees, builds a new factory or plant in the other country, and then thinks it will sell its product back into the U.S. ......

without retribution or consequence, is WRONG! There will be a tax on our soon to be strong border of 35% for these companies ......

wanting to sell their product, cars, A.C. units etc., back across the border. This tax will make leaving financially difficult, but.....

these companies are able to move between all 50 states, with no tax or tariff being charged. Please be forewarned prior to making a very ...

expensive mistake! THE UNITED STATES IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS

When used correctly they can be very helpful in combatting local job losses.

Nope. People don't seem to understand that those jobs from China and Mexico aren't coming back. It's just more nationalism BS.

Killing TPP was so stupid. All this talk about how Trump wants to stick it to China - backing away from that agreement actually helps them the most.

We aren't the only game in town in terms of heavy consumers anymore. And free trade is good.

If you're fiscally conservative, and Bernie Sanders is pushing hard for a particular policy that you agree with, you might want to reconsider your stance.

Free trade is great but these deals are more about free (or nearly free) labor

You say nationalism as if it's a bad thing.

I'm not suggesting that what we have now is great but I believe the solution is freer markets not more red tape.

[Adam]

All regulatory fees and taxes end up on the shoulders of the consumer also

I understand. But that simply can't be the case when China throws 25% tariffs on cars imported from the U.S. It's a one-sided battle right now and we are getting our collective asses handed to us. The playing field needs to be leveled.

For sure, dude. It needs to be addressed.
