Donny says he might veto legislation that aims to protect human rights in Hong Kong because bill could affect China trade talks
The legislation easily passed Congress with a veto-proof majority.

“We have to stand with Hong Kong, but I’m also standing with President Xi [Jinping]; he’s a friend of mine. He’s an incredible guy, but we have to stand … I’d like to see them work it out, okay?” the president* said. “I stand with freedom, I stand with all of the things that I want to do, but we are also in the process of making one of the largest trade deals in history. And if we could do that, it would be great.”
The House on Wednesday passed the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act by a vote of 417 to 1. The lone holdout was Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). That came one day after the Senate had approved the measure on a unanimous vote.

Will the Repubes stand up for Human Rights against a veto by this amoral piece of human garbage? Will be a VERY interesting test.
