Trump's Handling of World Leaders, Including China, an Art
By Douglas V. Gibbs

I am thoroughly enjoying watching Trump make the establishment, the media, and the Never Trump jerks squirm. That don’t understand him, and are trying to criticize his every move, and in the end Trump will likely make them all look like chumps.
While the opponents of Donald Trump fail to understand his moves, and are all over the place trying to make him look bad, the truth is to understand Donald Trump’s “unorthodox” methods is as simple as turning a page.
In other words, if they were to read his book, “The Art of the Deal,” they’d understand what Trump is up to.
But, they’d rather squirm and complain and scream and shout in ignorance.
Some of those knuckleheads, especially the so-called economic minds, are attacking Trump over his threat of tariffs and his manhandling of China. These are the same people who believe that Smoot-Hawley, an act sponsored by Senator Reed Smoot and Representative Willis C. Hawley and signed into law on June 17, 1930 (an act that raised U.S. tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods to record levels), was the cause of the Great Depression, and therefore if Donald Trump chases higher tariffs as he’s been promising it will cause a trade war similar to what plunged the world into an unrelenting global depressionary period.
China has set the stage perfectly, enabling the United States, and the rest of the free world, to be fearful of daring to stand up to the Chinese Communists.
Communism is a parasite. It uses capitalism (a term coined by Karl Marx, by the way) to fuel its tyranny, and the warm body covered with leeches at this point in history is us.
During his presidential campaign, Donald Trump called out China, explained to the voters how China is taking advantage of us, and the United States is getting the raw end of the deal. Public opinion, thanks to Trump, has further turned against China, fuming about the jobs lost to the Far East superpower.
One wonders if, through his techniques explained in “The Art of the Deal” (Trump’s book, once again, that pretty much explains everything he is doing), The Donald is capable of doing more than just squaring off with China. Perhaps, just perhaps, using a business acumen not normally applied in the political world, Trump may even be able to not only return jobs to the United States, but create a demand for American goods in China.
The fact is that China has experienced incredible economic growth after inserting just a bit of capitalism into their communist system. But, the high ride of success is about to pop. China knows it, and Trump knows it. China needs the United States, and they need to get along with Trump. Trump is well aware that in this new game of chicken, China cannot afford to be the last to flinch.
China has been playing hardball, so shouldn’t the United States? To play the game, however, American politicians need to be fearless, and Trump proved that by getting everyone up in a twitter when he answered the phone call from Taiwan. The call also showed the political establishment, and China, that they don’t have the kind of control over Trump as they would have over any of your run-of-the-mill professional politicians.
The phone call from Taiwan, a free province that Mainland China refuses to recognize the sovereignty of, and a country the United States has denied to recognize as well ever since we tried to normalize relations with the Chi-Coms back in the seventies, was from Taiwan’s new president, Tsai Ing-wen. She called to congratulate Trump. I am sure she appreciates his willingness not to bow down to the communist Chinese.
Trump also congratulated Tsai on her own victory in the Taiwanese elections earlier in this year, a victory not only for liberty in Asia, but a special victory because she is the first woman leader in Asia who isn’t the daughter or wife of a previous leader.
Aside from angering the Chinese communists, the call also revealed that Trump was honest when he told us during the campaign that he intends to expand America’s communications with foreign leaders who want good relations with the United States. It showed courtesy, and unwillingness to bow to the leftist global community’s so-called “conventional wisdom.”
While experts claim the move could start a domino effect that could lead to a loss of peace in the Pacific, thus, disrupting decades of diplomacy (considering that China wants to bring Taiwan back under mainland rule), Trump revealed that in reality all of this is a large Poker Game, and he just called China’s bluff.
Trump has also communicated with other world leaders, moves that have also ruffled the establishment’s bureaucratic feathers.
For example, the Philippines’ president Rodrigo Duterte is considered to be a vicious actor with an alleged list of gross human rights abuses. He has been no friend to President Obama, and after declaring his country’s separation from the U.S. complete, he paid the Chinese leadership a recent visit. Duterte has been merciless against the drug problem in his own country, a move that is stirring the pot with the local Muslim jihadist population. The fractured landscape of the Philippines, spread over thousands of islands and a multiplicity of ethnicities, languages, cultures and economic developmental stages, has made rule over the country difficult and most often ends in failure. Clans, oligarchs, industry barons and militias maintain an iron fist over local power, manipulating political, business and security matters in a way that better serves their criminal empires than the country as a whole. These local stakeholders are among those who Duterte has been targeting, in the hope to force their hands, rather than enabling them to use their power to weaken institutions and undermine law and order. Like Trump, Duterte (from the southern region of the Philippines) is seen as an outsider, and a disruption to the established balance of power. His war on crime and drugs, he hopes, will be a uniting influence in the long run. That all said, Duterte’s appointments of communists to some of his cabinet seats, as well as the visit to Beijing, has many of his countrymen worried that the new president may wish to lead the country towards communism. He claims, however, his interests are to lead the Philippines towards a more federalist style of system, returning local control once the riffraff has been removed.
Trump’s communication with Kazakhstan’s president since 1991, Nursultan A. Nazarbayev, has also raised alarms. Nazarbayev is a dictator that is not appreciated by the establishment. Mr. Trump, however, said that under the leadership of Nursultan Nazarbayev, the country has enjoyed a fantastic success that can be called a “miracle.” While the world seems to be upset with Trump’s discussions with Nazarbayev, we must remember what happens when brutal dictators are removed and the Muslim Brotherhood, or other Islamic jihadist groups, move in (Hussein in Iraq, Morsi in Egypt and Quadaffi in Libya are a few examples). In fact, due to its geo-political position, for Trump Kazakhstan may prove to be a vital tool in combating both ISIS, and Russia. So, while Trump has been criticized for talking to Kazakhstan, I say it’s better to work with Nazarbayev in that region, than a puppet of the Muslim Brotherhood, or worse.
