President Trump is the new Tiananmen ‘Tank Man’
By Chuck Lowe

On June 5th, 1989 an iconic photo was taken by CNN in Tiananmen Square of “Tank Man,” a singular Chinese citizen, facing down the Chinese Communist Party’s ruthless imperium.

Prior, Tiananmen Square had become an impromptu abattoir, a site where pro-democracy sympathizers had been slaughtered by the thousands. It was the embodiment of Mao Zedong’s famous quip, “political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”

What the Chinese regime didn’t know though, was that the image of “Tank Man” would be captured by a tired photographer from a hotel balcony, and become one of the most recognized symbols of brave defiance to tyranny in the history of the 20th century. The refusal of one man to bow before a despotic regime poured steel down the spines of freedom-lovers — and Trump’s mugshot is the new Tiananmen Square “Tank Man” photograph.

Personally, I think the Tianamen tank man would be very, very happy to trade places with Donald Trump.

But that's just one guy's opinion.

Didn't the Tiananmen tank people eventually get crushed under tank tracks?  They ended up replacing the slabs.

Only if there's a KFC in Tiananmen Square.



Trump is no self-sacrificing Patriot.  He is a spoiled rich brat who eventually abandons those who sacrifice themselves for him.

His loyalty is a one-way, dead-end street.

I think you could add Saint Peter to the list. He was crucified upside down. That’s ALMOST like what Trump is enduring.

In fact, the article is even worse than the headline.  Comparing the impact of the two photos...I don't remember anyone selling souvenir mugs of the Tianamen square guy, who gave his life.

Trump just gave bail money.

I had no intention to leave anyone out, I simply copied a short list to make my point about the real sanctimonious politician and a perennial politician despite what his parishioners say. What else do you call someone in his third presidential campaign.

My apologies to any I didn't give mention to.
