Lincoln questions the practice of slavery.
How about now questioning a vital trading partner and powerful group within our nation that will set off a war? Battling with a trading partner presents an incredible risk for our economy and national survival.
Let's not raise the price of textiles by making cotton expensive to produce. Economics, duh. 
No president has questioned the practice of slavery for over 20 years! Now a 2-year inexperienced congressman from Hicksville struts on in without a clue!
I think you are missing my point Sprouts. It's not like you can't get something good from mistakes, but that doesn't mean it's good to make them. Are you saying it's no biggie to make mistakes because sometimes it'll change history?
Personally, I support Taiwan regarding this issue, but I have to wonder if it bothers any Trump supporters out there that their president-elect is clueless on so much policy, both foreign and domestic. It leads to blunders, which can accidentally result in good things and also really bad things. Even surrounding yourself with the "best people"
(he's not, he's surrounding himself with loyalists) doesn't make up for a severe lack of knowledge on basically all of govt/policy/diplomacy/etc. They can't carry all the weight.
