Now seem like a good time to remind everyone of Trump's reaction to Tiananmen Square protest

Trump in a March 1990 Playboy interview said, "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 went on to say, "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."

I think he's a sewage accelerator! It goes in as sewage and it expands exponentially before returning to the world outside.

There is no doubt in my mind that there will be mass murders of civilians. I absolutely believe it will come to that.

a little after 12 EST and set up the script that a few hundred other blowhards on 1500 radio stations

and americans are going to blame fox and social media again for what talk radio s been doing for 30 years. and unless dr fiona hill is an idiot putin's been using it for years. probably since at leasst 2008 when limbaugh piushed palin on mccain.

ahhhhh limbaugh's calling in sick! wow, to miss this opportunity this his health must be becoming a major concern for trump and the propaganda managers.

it's friday so a bunch of paid callers in the us and russia will help the guest host interpret these events.....

He was treated like everything he said meant something. To think he attained the presidency is still unbelievable to me.
