not worry, this is still a family program. in 1998, donald trump in a sit-down interview with playboy. he teased a future in american politics. there is something he said back then that we all probably should have taken a bit more seriously. it was just a year after the chinese government used a massive amount of military force to violently crackdown on pro democracy student protesters who had been occupying tiananmen square in beijing. the chinese government declared martial law, and massacred hundreds of civilians. here was donald trump s take on that incident, one year later, and the pages of playboy. 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. our country is, right now, perceived as weak. okay, at this point, people can be forgiven for not believing a lot of things donald trump says. they don t think he actually m
