Taiwan: "Please wait to support our independence formally until we do so."

Trump Administration: "Actually, we just want to shit on everything, everywhere, as fast as we can"

Yeah. Refusing to claim anything unambiguous about Taiwan's status has, against all odds, been working fine for over half a century. I don't think this is anything specific to Taiwan, just the Trump team's general rule of going into any situation where the correct strategy is "nothing" and starting in on "FUCK THAT LET'S START DOING SOME STUFF I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE BTW."

Probably the only good thing Trump has ever done

Eliminating the US economy is indeed a good thing for the rest of the world but it's not that great of an action.
