Besides this gets a bit whataboutery if the respond to complaints about Trump are to say 'well what about China'?

I was using Chinese products as an example to highlight the double standards. There's no great clamour for anything to be done about China by the anti-Trump brigade or Russia's recent appalling change to their laws on domestic violence. The point I am making is that there are plenty of evil people and things going on in the world yet we don't have million signature petitions about them do we? No, far more morally superior to jump on the latest media hyped anti-Trump bandwagon when he's actually done nothing in comparison. As unpleasant as it is for innocent people to be caught up in this current situation, it's a laughable over-reaction and the extreme language being bandied about is typical of the twitter universe and all too many of its sad inhabitants.
