Kerry Upset that Trump Talked to Taiwan Without Consulting Him


Among the liberals huffing and puffing over Trump’s oh-so-irresponsible chat with the Taiwanese president was none other than John Kerry. Speaking at the Saban Forum in Washington D.C., the Secretary of State and failed presidential candidate bloviated about how reckless it was for Trump to speak with the leader of a non-hostile nation, taking a condescending tone not different from that he used earlier during the year when lecturing the GOP candidate about how foreign policy is not a “hotel business deal“:

“We have not been contacted before any of these conversations. We have not been requested to provide talking points,” Kerry said at the Saban Forum in Washington.

“I do think there’s a value, obviously, on having at least the recommendations, whether you choose to follow them or not is a different issue, but I think it’s valuable to ask people who’ve worked the desk and have worked it for a long period of time their input on what’s the current state, is there some particular issue at the moment. I think that’s valuable and I would certainly recommend it, but obviously that hasn’t happened in a few cases.”

Trump spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway asserted that Trump does get information from knowledgeable sources, but didn’t feel the need to discuss the matter personally with Kerry.

“He reads everything. He’s the busiest guy on the planet. Pretty much has been for a while now,” Conway told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.”
