Because theft shouldn't be allowed to pass without punishments or apology.

ETA - Trump will undoubtedly do many idiotic things as President.  He's our moron, but he IS a moron sometimes.

Trump needs to hire someone to stand behind him with a cattle prod, and zap him anytime he tries to tweet something stupid. We don't need a troll in chief.

Dumb ass. Keep your fucking yap shut and leave the foreign policy to someone who knows how to handle it.


I'm certainly glad he won, but his behavior post election is disturbing. He's going to stab us in the back on immigration before it's over. Mark my words.

He's right.

If we're all "hey, give it back!", China will just hold it up higher and taunt us by making us jump for it.

By treating it like a non-issue, it takes the wind out of their sails.

This is just classic anti-bully strategy that most people learn in middle school.

Please point out his "disturbing behavior" that has you so concerned.

Something tells me you've made several "mark my words" type of predictions over the last year that never came to fruition.

He's not even sworn in yet, this is Obama's problem. Trump can troll as much as he wants right now. China will be testing and pushing Trump as soon as he steps in office. Trump is not going to take any of their shit either.

You have posted similar trash for about 17 months, while stating the Troll King would not be elected...blah blah blah. How about simmer down and take a break before you either stroke out from your wrongness or go around the bend and someone finds your walled and ID sitting on guard rail on a tall bridge somewhere.

Exactly!!  It's too late for them to make it right by giving it back.  We need to get retribution by alternative means.  Time to play hardball.  We need to leave this to the negotiating professionals.  That would be Trump!

And who wants it back?  I guarantee the Chinese have already ruined it.  They'll give it back in the condition they gave us our plane back.

Trump tweeting is quite hilarious really. When will he realize that pulling out his phone and ranting on twitter is behavior of a teenage girl. Plz someone take trump off twitter. I'm embarrassed for him. As for stating that China can keep the drone, I agree. They've gotten everything they wanted from it by now so what's the point of wanting it back?

Twitter is one of many reasons he won the election.

Having an outlet to reach millions of people without going through the filter of the press is an enormous advantage for him.

There are ways to use Twitter without being a teenager about it. Now that he's President elect, he can just issue a statement by video just like he has with his 100 day plan.

people should realize that obama could care less about the drone and what the chinese did, he had a vacation to go to, and he went.

and reports were, that the military was "negotiating" to get the drone back, which, for the bho admin, meant giving more consessions to the chinese.

so, the bho admin just continued it's example of the U.S. showing weakness and always being on it's hands and knees to all these other countries under obama's terms in office

First the Trumpers claim that he's a political mastermind for asking for the drone back, and now they're claiming that he's a political mastermind for telling China to keep the drone.

You know what other group of people love to claim that their guy has never done anything wrong?  Obama supporters. 

It's gonna be a looooong 4 years if 'you people' just keep gobbling the orange knob and refuse to hold him accountable for anything.  I can't fucking hardly wait to see the Trumpers defend his trillion dollar stimulus and TrumpCare as 'political genius' as well.  That's gonna be awesome.    "but But BUT BUT ONOZ CRUMBLING INFRASTRUCTURE OMG!!!!"

Why be embarrassed for him? He know exactly what he is doing and generally it is not on the fly. The only people who are REALLY upset at Trump are the Media who can not control the narrative, other Republicans who can not have the same impact, and Democrats who want Republicans to roll over and play dead.

I don't use Twitter but your dismissive attitude makes it obvious you don't understand how powerful social media can be.  What you see as "childish" and "whiny" obviously resonated with people on Twitter and created an army of shitposters who attacked Hillary and her minions.  It was amazing to see every tweet from Hillary attacked by countless "Where are the emails?" and "Why did you lie about Benghazi?" comments.  They created a situation where Hillary did more harm than good anytime she tweeted.

For every person like you who thinks Trump looks stupid/whiny/childish on Twitter, there are a few hundred who "get it."

So what's wrong with Trump's statement?
The Chicoms have had sufficient time analyze the drone's design and get any data/software off.  And they've had time to install malware, so it will probably be destroyed when it's returned. 

Either:
- Let the Chinese keep it, and Trump can remind us daily that the Chicoms are thieves. 
- If/when they decide to return it, it will embarrass the hell out of them.  Put the video of the Chinese guys returning the stolen property online.

FUCK THAT KENYAN.

I CANT WAIT TILL WE GET SOMEONE IN OFFICE WITH BALZ.

THE WHOLE WORLD KEEPS LAFFING AT US BECAUSE THE KENYAN FUKTARD IS GIVING AWAY OUR DECADES OF SUPERIORITY

THE CHINESE REALLY PLAYED OUR IDIOT POTUS.  IT'S LIKE THEY PLAY CHESS TO WIN AND HE PLAYS CHECKERS LIKE A RETARD.

STUPID FUCKING LIBERALS DONT UNDERSTAND.  GIVE AN INCH AND THE CHINESE AND RUSSIANS WILL TAKE A MILE.  ADD IN IRAN AND WE LOSE THE WORLD IN FOUR YEARS.

Really. I think I've seen sentiments like this every time Obama has done or failed to do anything.  We really should try analyzing each situation in an ideological vacuum.  Hard in an echo chamber but worth the effort IMO.
