Donald Trump won the Presidential elections and received congratulatory phone calls from leaders around the world; from Russia, Europe and Taiwan. (A self claimed liberal) Congressman Ted Lieu wrote several tweets and posts strongly criticizing Donald Trump the President elect of the United States merely for receiving a phone call. Ted Lieu tweeted that that the phone call was deliberate and calculated.
This article confirms my belief that @realDonaldTrump phone call w/ President of Taiwan was deliberate & calculated. https://t.co/oOOv0APnPX— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) December 4, 2016
Interestingly, the criticizing congressman was seen contacting, greeting and receiving multiple Taiwanese Presidents within the past few months. Was that deliberate and calculated?
On March 17 2016, Congressman Ted Lieu received Taiwanese President Ma at Los Angeles. In June, Mr. Lieu traveled to Taiwan to Congratulate the newly elected President of Taiwan Tsai Ing-wen. At the end of June Ted Lieu greeted newly elected President in Los Angeles.

Mr. Lieu seems to believe that his greeting and receiving Taiwanese President(s) is consistent with American foreign policy while criticizes President Trump merely for receiving a phone call.
