I look forward to your negative spin on everything Trump/HK related in the coming days. 

For now, it's a developing story in another nation.   And Trump won't act with haste.  He WILL answer questions on the topic.  It's his style not to give the canned PC response.  He offers you no apologies on content.  I agree he is quite unpresidential when giving it to you straight. 

Again - not doing it like anyone else has done - we've been over this.

Not taking sides, with persistence!

He has already acted hastily.

And yes, he is not doing it like anyone else has done it - because what he is doing is anti-democracy, home and abroad.

We've been over this. He is a buffoon who you defend to the bitter end, without admitting his vast shortcomings. You'd make a fine dog.

We could have elected a dog whose principle acts as President were taking shits under his desk in the oval and so long as he barked at brown people kiidcarter8 would say “He just isn’t doing it like anyone else has done”

Here's another of the deleted tweets:
https://twitter.com/AlexandreKrausz/status/1160947525442056193

In this one, the 'reporter' warns about the build up of military vehicles outside Hong Kong, warning us tha something big is going to happen. It comes with a bunch of videos of said military  vehicles.

Quote
Disturbing video taken in #Shenzhen just across the boarder with #HongKong. Something extraordinarily bad is about happen. #China #HongKongProtests #Democracy #SaveHongKong

The videos are interesting and had Kid told you anything about the tweet you might have looked.

But... where is the "something extraordinarily bad" that we were told was about to happen?

I was sure that if it happened, Trump would stand pat until the protesters were crushed, then speak up sharply to the Chinese and when they did no more crushing (having finished) claim victory for his outstanding diplomatic efforts.

But it looks like he might not have the chance for even that.

The Independent picked up the video and ran a story on it. But... two days later, the "paramilitary" forces don't seem to have gone where they were predicted to. At least not yet.

“Syphilitic” and “cracker” have made it into the verbiage of network TV to describe this “president” and his supporters.

It good they are catching up. Word on the street has been there for a while.

What else can you call people who do this?

What people fail to understand is that China doesn't care what anyone thinks.
All one has to do is watch the 6 o'clock news every night to see it.

If China sent troops into Hong Kong and started shooting people, what could the West, or East for that matter do about it?
Invade China?
Blow up China?
No.

China has the whole world by the throat.
The world was warned, but wouldn't listen.
Look around...'everything' we buy is made in China.
China...an economic powerhouse.
China...buying up the world one farm, one house, one company, one country at a time.
The West...going broke fast.

“Crackers” are racist.

But you were close.

It is a defining characteristic and a point of delineation between “cracker” and myriad other characterizations.

Speaking of “Crackers”, keep your eyes on this guy. It looks like he’s getting ready to crawl up out of trump’s ashes to be the next flag humping hate spewing cracker in chief.

Young people in Australia who are not drinking alcohol has risen 50% in the last 6 years.

President Trump has been setting a fine example in this regard.

Six year ago Trump was still fuming about Obama’s birth certificate. Maybe young Aussies are tired of being depicted as beer swilling louts?

I think the “narrative” is that Trump cannot effectively run this nation

It’s being disproved, sorry
