‘Rocky’ shock for China makes Trump Hong Kong hero
NY Post ^ | November 28 2019 | Gabrielle Fonrouge

President Trump is Hong Kong’s sudden hero.

Hours after he signed two bills to support human rights in Hong Kong, angering Chinese government officials, pro-democracy protesters in the beleaguered city held a “Thanksgiving Rally” Thursday night to commend him for taking the action.

And front and center at the rally were printouts of the president’s Wednesday tweet showing his head on Rocky Balboa’s chiseled body.

The Chinese slaughtered the people in Tianamen Square because they knew the US admin at the time was convinced the US ‘needed’ the Chinese more than the Chinese needed us. The PRC knew the US would do whatever it took to ignore or distract criticism of the slaughter and would move to snuff out coverage before it could affect the bottom line.

The Chinese have no such assurances this time... quite the opposite, and so they’ll have to be very careful with the protesters, at least so long as Trump’s in office. Unless they can take out Trump, the Chinese either have to make a deal or wait through the rest of this term plus 4 yrs and possibly a Pence admin too before they can get another weak admin to bow to them.

Seems they yearn for a face for their movement but have none, and that “Trump as Rocky” meme is resonating.

Some interesting times, these!

Isn't the nickname for Trump in China

Donald the Strong.

From the New York Slimes:

They call him “Donald the Strong.” They heap praise on his family. They fawn over his rapid-fire tweets. They have even created an online fan club.

In America, President Trump faces a feisty press corps, damaging investigations into associates and sagging approval ratings.

But in China, where Mr. Trump arrived Wednesday, he has acquired a legion of admirers who hail him as a straight-talking politician and business mogul with a knack for deal-making. [Source: The New York Times]

(Donald the Strong has also emasculated the lame stream press with his Helecopter pressers)

They also observe that President Trump TOWERS over his opponents intellectually and morally!

And that President Trump is driven by LOVE--LOVE for America, LOVE for mankind, LOVE of family, and LOVE of GOD!

And that the Democrat Party is the Party of HATE!

President Trump's opponents have shown time and again that they are driven by raw HATRED.

The choice is clear for all honest, benevolent people.

“The dems who were pushing this, really wanted President Trump to hesitate and perhaps not sign it at all.”

Exactly! ...calculating that it would harm his negotiating position with China on trade, and Trump would take money over “human rights”. Then they would use it against him in 2020. The demokraps really don’t care about the Hong Kong people, and neither do the leftist Brits.

For some reason people have stopped calling China, "Red China". When did that end and why? They are STILL RED, STILL SOLIDLY COMMUNIST TO THE MAX!!! Even more communist than the Soviet Union, and yes, I still call Russia the Soviet Union because nothing has changed. Except, we now speak of Russian billionaires instead of the read commies having all the money. The only freedom is that thousands of Jews have been able to get out of Eastern Europe and move back to Israel. The rich Russians travel around the world more freely and buy up stuff, a lot of American stuff, like land, buildings, etc. Plus, the United States get the super privilege of getting the RUSSIAN MAFIA to move here instead of Moscow!!!

Look how great it is to be an American now. We have the Russian mafia. We have the thousands of Muzzie terrorists moved here. Obammy ruined our ability to keep illegals out. We have the Mexican drug cartels headquartered in Kaliforniastan now. We also have a lot of the other drug cartels here now. The Muzzie group CART or whatever the hell their initials are this week, are headquartered here and pull their crap here now. We also get the wonderful Muzzie congresscitters mixed into the DimoCommieMuzzieHomo Peoples Party of America. Ain't it wonderful to have these wonderful groups here now. There are others, but I don't want to cram my brain with that crap this early.

We should strike a deal with China. For each freedom-loving person from Hong Kong who agrees to come here and become an American, we’ll ship them two American Marxists. Or maybe ten... In any case, it would solve both China’s problems and our own.

I think I’ll do that with my head and put the picture on a dating site.

Trump’s a rock star to 10s of millions and as such is an INCREDIBLE danger to the very powerful.

And I fear for him but I think the deep state knows that if anything were to happen to Trump the backlash would possibly mean the literal end of them.

And they enjoy life too much to take that chance

Just like POTUS Trump releasing the Transcript of his call with the Ukraine.

They never imagined he would do that.

Of course, they also act like the Transcript doesn’t exist, instead going with their Fairy Tale version of reality.

“They never imagined he would do that.”

And a whole lot more. POTUS definitely is a “black swan”. His Presidency may be the most significant since FDR.

“My are they in for an unpleasant surprise.”

Yep. If you want to keep power you have to be ruthless, and quick about it.
