RUSH: The answer that Trump gave to the question on Tiananmen Square versus the answer Kasich gave were 180 degrees different.<\/p>\n

I asked a Trumpster this morning: “What do you think of what Trump said about Tiananmen Square?”<\/p>\n


\n“Ah, it was great!”<\/p>\n

“Really,” I said. “You think when Trump credited the ChiComs for stopping ‘what could have been a riot\u2019?”<\/p>\n

“Yeah, man, that was great.”<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re kidding me.”<\/p>\n

“No, no.”<\/p>\n

“Um, you realize he was crediting the government for putting down a protest of citizens demanding freedom, and the guy standing in front of the tank? The ChiComs did a good job in wiping the guy out and stopping a riot?”<\/p>\n

“Yeah, I totally think so. I\u2019m sick of these people.”<\/p>\n

I said, “Okay.” I just left it there.<\/p>\n

Kasich\u2019s answer… I forget what it was. But it was, of course, the exact opposite from that. Let me take a brief time-out, folks. Cookie, don\u2019t go get it. I got more sound bites than I can squeeze in today.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh. I got e-mails during the break. I checked \u2019em. My question that I mentioned I\u2019ve been asking Trumpists about Trump\u2019s answer on Tiananmen Square? I kid you not, folks. You know the answer I got on these e-mails? “Hey, Rush, not every candidate\u2019s perfect. Let it go.” That\u2019s exactly what I mean, folks. “Not every candidate is perfect.” Here\u2019s Amanda in Dothan, Alabama. It\u2019s great that you testified. I appreciate it. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s such an honor, and I\u2019m gonna get right to the point. I hope I make the host look good. I\u2019m calling about Trump\u2019s comment that Islam hates America and the media and political insiders are all outraged. They keep talking about how we need American Muslims and Muslims around the world to help defeat ISIS and we need them on our side, and this can\u2019t be tolerated. And my comment is that the Kurds over in the Middle East, and pro-American Muslims all over the world and in America, agree with Trump, and they understand that he\u2019s not talking about them. They agree there\u2019s a problem and an atmospheric of hate.<\/p>\n


\nRUSH: Here we go again. This is another one. Let me ask you, Amanda. I\u2019m assuming that you agree with Mr. Trump when he said that we have a big problem. There\u2019s too much hate on the part of too many Muslims and it\u2019s widespread and we better deal with it. We\u2019d better understand it. And when he was asked about it last night, he did his old double down on it. He didn\u2019t backtrack from. Do you agree with him?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I totally agree. I think that, as usual, they\u2019re out of touch, and they don\u2019t understand the feeling of people and it\u2019s the same thing as far as immigration goes, how they\u2019re all outraged on behalf of Mexicans and on behalf of Mexican-Americans on the fact that you can\u2019t say these things. “We\u2019re gonna lose \u2019em in the general! You can\u2019t say these things about Mexicans. We need \u2019em to win,” and yet Mexican-Americans who are here and who follow the law and came her legally, they agree with him. He\u2019s not offending any of them. They agree that there\u2019s a problem, and it\u2019s the same dynamic where they completely miss the point and they misunderstand the people, as usual.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have to say… Amanda, thank you much. I have to agree with that for the most part. Let\u2019s look at the modern three-legged stool of Trump campaign: Anti-free trade, bad trade deals, NAFTA, globalization, what have you. Bringing jobs home. Most of the elites, they don\u2019t get it. They don\u2019t understand. “How can anybody oppose free trade?” They don\u2019t understand the opposition to it. They don\u2019t understand the white working class, blue-collar objection to it. They think, “Well, look, okay. So we\u2019re not leading the world in making sewing machines anymore. But nobody buys them, so, you know, we\u2019re ahead of the game here.<\/p>\n

“Why is everybody worried about what happening with sewing machines? Horse and buggies! Yeah, we lost the horse and buggy industry when the automobile was invented, but so what? Bye-bye, horse and buggy. We\u2019re not gonna subsidize it to keep it around just for jobs.” There are now people seriously in the establishment, the elite quadrants, in the elite sectors — I read it last night — that are petrified that Trump is building a groundswell of people that want tariffs, that want penalties on foreign governments, that want to end free trade.<\/p>\n


\nWhether it\u2019s NAFTA, whether it\u2019s TPP, whether it\u2019s TPA, the global court where all these supposed violations are tried, they hate it all, and they\u2019re worried that this is gonna happen if Trump\u2019s elected, that we\u2019re gonna get rid of all these trade deals and reverse them and it\u2019s gonna be an 80-year period in the darkness again. Then you have this Islam thing. That\u2019s another one they don\u2019t get. I mean, Amanda here is exactly right. It didn\u2019t take but a week after 9\/11, and the political correctness practically swallowed the country. “Don\u2019t criticize Islam! We must find out what we did to make them mad.”<\/p>\n

And since 9\/11, there have been Americans in large and growing numbers who don\u2019t understand this. “They killed 3,000 Americans. Why don\u2019t our leaders see what\u2019s happening?” Then there\u2019s ISIS, then there\u2019s Al-Qaeda, then there\u2019s these beheadings, then there\u2019s all this terrorism, hijackings, and nothing seems to be done about it. It\u2019s been festering. It is effervescing. Trump focuses on it. A whole bunch of people think, “Finally somebody\u2019s talking common sense about it.” This stuff is not hard to understand, and when it comes to what Trump said about Islam, he is right. He is. There\u2019s no question he\u2019s right. They know it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Tiananmen Square as it happened last night. Jake Tapper said, “Mr. Trump, some of your Republican critics have expressed concern about comments you\u2019ve made praising authoritarian dictators. You have said positive things about Putin as a leader, and you\u2019ve said positive things about China\u2019s massacre of pro-democracy protesters at Tiananmen Square. You said, quote, ‘When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the [ChiComs] almost blew it, and then they were vicious, and they were horrible. But they put it down with strength. It shows you the power of strength.\u2019 How do you respond, Mr. Trump?”<\/p>\n

Trump: “Hey, that doesn\u2019t mean I was endorsing it. I wasn\u2019t endorsing it. I said, ‘That\u2019s a strong, powerful government that put it down with strength,\u2019 and they kept down that riot. It was a horrible thing. It doesn\u2019t mean at all that I was endorsing it.” He was simply admiring the strength or pointing out what a powerfully strong government can do. Hey, this is why what\u2019s-his-face, Sean Penn, loves Castro. It\u2019s why Sean Penn loved what\u2019s-his-face down in Venezuela, Hugo Chavez. They envied the power. No question about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
