“Trump should apologize or “clarify” his statement.”
Yes, he should at the VERY LEAST.
Got this from FR thread (Post #50 link)
“..Trump answered, “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. 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 –” (snip)
P.S. I wish the Chinese government had blown it. I wish the 1989 uprising had led to the toppling of that cruel, murderous, despicable regime ..”

Donald Trump is saying China was horrible - that’s good, BUT he precedes it by saying the Chinese govt. almost blew it. Huh?
Then he seemed to think the “viciouis” STRENGTH part was a good thing.
It reminds me of when he repeatedly says Planned Parenthood does some good things.
In fairness, Trump said the above in a 1990 interview, but RECENTLY he said:
“..A couple of months ago, it was pointed out to Trump that Putin kills journalists who displease him. Trump answered, “I think our country does plenty of killing also.” This is exactly the moral equivalence I learned from the Left, when I was growing up. I rejected it. Because it’s an abominable lie.” (from above linPk
When Trump says: “our country does plenty of killing also” - it is unpatriotic. We don’t need another president going around the world on an apology tour.
Trump’s logic is so flawed, I would be really nervous to see him Commander-in-Chief. After the Obama disaster, we MUST do better!

Should say Post #51, NOT #50.
