Seriously, how retarded are these people? The only people Trump will ever liberate is billionaires from their tax obligations. This of course is the opposite of "liberation" for the rest of us, the ones who will be dealing with austerity and tax hikes for the next several generations to pay for what's going on now.
At some level I have empathy for the young people of Hong Kong. The city is virtually unlivable for them. A home of your own is entirely out of the question unless you're born into serious money. Most of these protesters are doomed to live in their parents' home till they can inherit it. Since that home is most likely a 350 ft one bedroom apartment, they are understandably grumpy.
But their shit-hole prospects are not the fault of the Peoples Republic of China.
They are the fault of HK's billionaire class, many of whom made their billions in the territory's real estate market.
Nevertheless, thanks to generous funding from the US government's "National Endowment for Democracy" and further funding from some of those very billionaires who have immiserated them, these morons have been duped into projecting their justifiable rage onto the government of the PRC.
This is of course exactly the reason the NED, a US government funded "Non-Government Organization," has lavished them with money over the years. In the pursuit of "full spectrum dominance," these useful idiots are invaluable in undermining China.
And they certainly take their mission seriously. Here they are knocking some sense into a passer-by who didn't agree with their protest.
Here's another hapless Hong Konger getting a dose of NED-style freedom and democracy
And these "protesters" are people we should support?
