Trump praised the Chinese government for Tiananmen Square in 1990 interview.
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.
Trump continued to predict that Gorbachev would be "overthrown" because "he has shown extraordinary weakness."
The comments came to light again this week after Trump praised the leadership style of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, whose country announced earlier this month that it had conducted its first successful test of a hydrogen bomb.
