Trump congratulated China on adoption of communism

‘Idiot’ Trump scorched for congratulating China on adoption of communism

In a Tuesday morning tweet Trump congratulated China’s President Xi Jinping “and the Chinese people on the 70th Anniversary of the People’s Republic of China!” The People’s Republic of China is governed by the Communist Party of China. Trump just congratulated its president for 70 years of communism.

The President of the United States is literally praising an authoritarian dictator who tortures and murders his own citizens and squelches freedom, and the grotesque political system that allows it.

Here’s how some responded to Trump’s disgusting tweet.

Like when he called Putin after his latest "election" and the staff told him not to congratulate the creep, but he did anyway.

This is gross. Celebrating a brutal dictatorship on its survival.
