Trump bets it all on friendship with Kim

[demmiblue]

Hanoi (CNN)President Donald Trump was looking to flatter his new friend in Singapore when he struck upon an unusual compliment.

He had known plenty of people who had grown up wealthy and whose families were powerful, Trump told Kim Jong Un, the despotic North Korean dictator whose father and grandfather held the same role.

Many of them emerged messed up, Trump said. But, he added, Kim wasn't one of them.

Of course, Kim rules North Korea with an iron fist and a disregard for human rights. And his stature was gained through birth, not hard work. But Trump's choice of praise for his new negotiating partner, relayed by a person familiar with the conversation, reflects the US President's determination to flatter his way to nuclear peace in Asia.

1. What an ass kisser (R)

The republican Draft-dodger-in-Chief is a shameless ass kissing greedhead.

Weak. Tragically weak. And sad.

3. Actually

Coming from this fucking moron. The below statement reflects not flattery, but "envy".

"Kim Jong Un is a murderous tyrant who, in addition to assassinating his own family members and starving his own people, tortured an America citizen to death not so long ago."

2. He wants a "win"

So bad he will say and do anything to get one. He is being played by Kim.

4. Not shocked

this is a man that described fucking Nazis as "very fine people"

Like I posted above...he's jealous and he's projecting. He wishes he could be a "murderous tyrant who, in addition to assassinating his own family members and starving his own people, tortured an America citizen to death."

I'm thinking Eric and Tiffany would be first.
