"Law-and-order"-candidate Trump praised and downplayed Tiananmen-massacre as riot
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square_protests_of_1989Hundreds, possibly thousands, of people died when China violently put down protests for more rights and democratic reforms.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/mar/11/donald-trump-tiananmen-square-china-playboy-interview
Trump first praised the massacre as a show of strength, then backtracked.
Except that during this backtrack he called the million-strong demonstrations a "riot".
Let that sink in:
Law-and-order candidate Donald Trump thinks that 1 million people demonstrating for rights and freedoms is a riot and having the military shoot them is a show of strength.
