Back in 1990, Trump said that it showed "the power of strength":

Donald Trump has praised the Chinese government over Tiananmen Square as well as Kim Jong-un - Independent

He was asked whether he meant a "firm hand as in China?", to which Trump replied:
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... as being spit on by the rest of the world.
Trump, of course, referring to the Tiananmen Square massacre in which hundreds of pro-democracy protesters were killed by a military presence of as many as 10,000 troops accompanied by tanks.

The only thing that cretin understands is brute force. It's his business model. He's a high-velocity blunt object.

"high-velocity" : the velocity of a golf cart.
