Bad timing for Chinese protesters

I remember Tiananmen Square. I remember how George Bush gave the protesters no support.

Now the Hong Kong protesters will soon be crushed. Trump will show no concern.

I don't know if a Democratic president can do anything, but a little support for democracy would be nice.

I suspect that the protestors will pick a different flag from here on out.
