Trump felt that the Tiananmen Square response by Communist China in 1989 was an impressive show of strength, which probably explains his one way solution towards protests today. Which also explains how he feels the need to make sure peaceful protesters were teargassed so that he could have his absurd photo op, pretending to be a good Christian.
Here are his comments from a March 1990 Playboy interview regarding the collapsing Soviet Union and Mikhail Gorbachev's efforts of glastnost and perestroika, versus the Chinese government's response to the peaceful protests at Tiananmen Square in 1989:
On the Soviets:
"Their system is a disaster," Trump said. "What you will see there soon is a revolution; the signs are all there with the demonstrations and picketing. Russia is out of control and the leadership knows it. That's my problem with [former Soviet President Mikhail] Gorbachev. Not a firm enough hand."
On the Chinese:
"When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength," Trump replied. "That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak...as being spit on by the rest of the world."
You really have to remain willfully ignorant at this point not to see this fraud for what it is.
Here is the link to the article I used in writing this particular blog entry, and from which I obtained the two quotes used above:
Trump's praise for China over Tiananmen Square years ago was a preview of his support for military crackdowns on the George Floyd protests John Haltiwanger Jun 1, 2020:
