Prior, Tiananmen Square had become an impromptu abattoir, a site where pro-democracy sympathizers had been slaughtered by the thousands. It was the embodiment of Mao Zedong’s famous quip, “political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”
What the Chinese regime didn’t know though, was that the image of “Tank Man” would be captured by a tired photographer from a hotel balcony, and become one of the most recognized symbols of brave defiance to tyranny in the history of the 20th century. The refusal of one man to bow before a despotic regime poured steel down the spines of freedom-lovers — and Trump’s mugshot is the new Tiananmen Square “Tank Man” photograph.
