Trump's being a bit of an ass, which in this case is fine, I guess, since I have mixed feelings about the HK protestors [I hope they're smart enough to have a Plan B to flee when China puts its foot down- perhaps they can immigrate to the US].  But China's going to ignore him. Also note how he's not commenting on Putin's treatment of his dissenters.
