From the New Yorker: Kim Jong Un Reveals He Is Just Using Trump to Meet Stormy Daniels:
PYONGYANG (The Borowitz Report)Kim Jong Un has revealed to close associates that he has offered to meet Donald J. Trump only as a means of achieving his real goal: meeting the former adult-film star Stormy Daniels.
A confidant of the North Korean dictator said that Kim revealed his true intentions behind the Trump invitation at a high-level government meeting on Thursday night. Kim said that he was a big fan of Stormys, and he decided that meeting with Trump would be a necessary evil if he wanted a chance to meet her, the confidant said.
According to the confidant, Kim first attempted to arrange a meeting with Daniels through his close friend, the former N.B.A. player Dennis Rodman, but, when Dennis said that he didnt know Stormy, Kim was, like, Oh, well, I guess Ill have to go through Trump, then.
Kim reportedly is prepared to use whatever leverage is necessary to force Trump to broker the meeting with the erstwhile porn performer. If Kim doesnt get to meet Stormy, the missile tests resume, the confidant said.
When told about Kims real reason for offering to meet with Trump, a White House aide initially expressed shock, but then added, Now everything makes sense.
Lord, it's getting harder and harder to tell satire from reality any more!!!!

I have people on FB not bothered in the slightest about this, but keep bringing up Bill Clinton and
because he was 'in office', it's infinitely worse. Their eyes glaze over when I mentioned he is no longer prez and suffered the consequences. Then they said yadda yadda yadda ad nauseum. Cognitive dissonance.
