"President-elect Donald Trump said tonight that China should keep the U.S. Navy underwater drone that had been seized in international waters in the South China Sea. The Pentagon said Saturday that China agreed to return the drone.

"We should tell China that we don't want the drone they stole back.- let them keep it!" Trump tweeted this evening.

The incident had sparked a diplomatic protest from the United States demanding the return of the drone, which is used for oceanographic research.

Before it was revealed that China would return the drone to the United States, Trump took to Twitter to call the drone seizure an "unprecedented act."

He just learned how to spell President recently and obviously became overzealous.

[Kablooie]

7. He's just acting Republican.

Whatever your opponent says you say the opposite.
It's standard procedure for Republicans nowadays and takes virtually no thinking which is something Republicans are good at.

[Tarheel_Dem]

12. So, our media is content to report on tweets from the POTUS elect? They should be demanding a....

press conference, and refusing to report anything about him until he relents.

[Wolf Frankula]

13. The Chinese will Share the drone specs with Russia.

So Putin told Trump to tell the Chinese they can keep the drone.

22. It's just a commercial drone

China or Russia can buy one off the shelf if they want one.

[Hekate]

32. It's a highly specialized underwater drone. Somehow I think they don't come cheap.

[Quackers]

14. Simple solution

Put a naked photo of Trump inside every drone we have.


In other news, a record number of American spy drones are being returned to the US from countries all over the world.

[rpannier]

16. He wants us to do that

So they can return it after his inauguration and he can claim 100% credit for its return, claiming he stared down China and they blinked

[Submariner]

17. Snorting amphetamines again?

[democratisphere]

18. The Electoral College must save US from his insanity

Trump has got to be certifiably insane. Will someone having authority please CERTIFY him.

[jmowreader]

19. Aren't these things classified?

Donald, look: You're supposed to do like the last Republican president did, and wait until AFTER you're inaugurated before you hand China a bunch of American secrets on a silver platter.

[Thekaspervote]

20. why he's saying that, no you keep it so I can

Pick a fight with you later.

[man on the moonshine]

29. News Flash!

You're not in charge yet, dickweed, and hopefully never will be.

"What about bibles, does the drone have any bibles?!"

[Moral Compass]

33. Get used to it

The sad truth is that tomorrow Trump becomes President.

We will all have to get used to this level of stupidity.

He's just going to shoot his mouth off on Twitter and in other mediums. He seems to not understand that he is going to be the President of the U.S. and saying things like this are confusing, destabilizing, and detrimental to the country he is supposedly going to lead.

He's the most dangerous kind of idiot. One that doesn't know that he's not that bright.

He will seriously damage the standing of the U.S. He will be outmaneuvered and outplayed and he'll keep telling us that he's real smart.

That wrecking crew he calls a cabinet will do everything they can to return us to the 1920's.

God help us all.
