If a third world terrorist dictator endorsed Hillary for POTUS, the RW machine would go into screaming overdrive. But an endorsement of Trump apparently gets no response from the wing nuts.

I don't think an endorsement from North Korea is something any Presidential candidate would want. Seems to me that you would lose voters rather than gain.

But herr drumpf and dear little leader are cut from the same cloth so drumpf probably revels in it.

real estate to his good friend Gaddafi.

Republican Trump even bragged about his business deals with that terrorist on fox 2011, "Donald Trump: I ‘Screwed’ Gaddafi .

All Republicans like to make business deals with their 'good buddies', if there's easy money involved.

Apparently, N. Korea figures they can manipulate Con-Man Don by telling him he'd be the greatest president in the history of the world if he forced S. Korea to live under Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un's rule.

I'll take a "dull" and predictable leader over an "exciting" wild card any day.

is the republicans are going to find some rationale to say it is a good thing that Trump, Putin and Kim Jong-Un are buds and they will group think the shit out of it.
