Amidst a discussion about the importance of having "the right people," Donald Trump praised the Chinese government's brutal suppression of the Tiananmen Square protests.
“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.”
