Trump bombs with joke about N Korean leader Kim

President Trump loves trolling the liberal media as much as the rest of us.

Trump wants to be a dictator. It wasn't a joke. That was his sincere desire. The media needs to stop normalizing his utter lack of a moral compass.

Fat.Check.

Cheap suits. Check

Bad hair. Check.

Ugly. Check

Question: Kim or Trump?

Hint: Not a stupid idiot.

You got it!

Kim.

May it wasn't a joke. Maybe that's exactly what he wants. Maybe its time.

Nothing is forever, that includes democracy.

Perhaps executing one or more of his opponents using antiaircraft artillery might encourage "his people" to snap more alertly to attention. That certainly worked for Kim.

My question is how outrageous Trump can behave if and when the GOP disowns him. I have experience living in totalitarian countries. There is nothing to joke about here.

I still shake my head wondering how Trump can disparage Justin Trudeau and Canada and less than 48 hours later praise a known brutal dictator whose regime has recently been responsible for the death of one of our citizens, allows his own country's children to starve to death and imprisons his people to hard labor without a trial. But the important thing is, when Kim Jung Un speaks, people pay attention and as Trump will tell you, that's what he wants....

As William Shatner once said to the obsessive Star Trek fans..."Get a life!"

"They believe that Trump is somehow this autocratic despot and they’re waiting for any words that fill in that narrative," Barron said

Somehow? Trump's entire career has been built on his autocratic, self-centered, self-serving and boorish demeanor. His followers love him because he gets ahead by cheating others, treats women as conquests, gleefully fires people who displease him, publicly insults anyone who isn't on his team, gets his mobs to bully and threaten journalists at rallies, openly disparages the democratic institutions that are meant to be a check on executive power (euphemistically called "draining the swamp" by Trump's cult followers), and expressing fondness for dictators such as Putin, Duterte, Xi, and Kim.

Trudeau stabbed him in the back like a coward.

So goes the Trumpist narrative. How exactly is announcing in-kind tariffs at a press conference (and using polite language) stabbing Trump in the back "like a coward"? You expect other countries to just lie down and whimper?

Do you expect the US to just lie down and whimper? Yep, you do because you got used to that during the last president. That’s not happening.

Trudeau has the right to stand up for and advocate for his country. Trump has the same right. May the best man win the negotiations.

And another nail in the coffin of America's credibility.

I guess his claiming that so many parents asked him to bring back the remains of soldiers who died in the Korean war, that's another sick joke, too.

But the sickest joke is what's happening to over 2000 kids who were taken for "baths" and never came back. Stolen from their parents because a religious book says so.

There are some topics that presidents should just not joke about publicly lest they make allies nervous or embolden adversaries, Litt told Reuters.

All topics, I'd say.

Quote: White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders later said he didn't mean it: "The president was clearly joking with his comments," she said.

Uh, “The president was opaquely joking with his comments.” There, fixed that for you. Clear as mud.

Just how many Americans are over 100 years old, according to Trump?:

"He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same," Trump said, pointing to the West Wing.

Meaning, I suppose, that they don't sit up at attention already. It's hardly surprising. Saying something worth paying attention to might help, as opposed to ranting and raving like a gibbering lunatic.

I wish John Kelly would explain to him that if people don't understand it's a joke, it means it's not a funny joke.

But I guess they're all afraid to to contradict him, which makes one thing in common with Kim.

You don’t often hear Trump praising the idea of democracy itself.

Unusual in a US president. Past presidents were forever rattling on about it in a manner that suggested the US was unique in its embrace of the idea.

Very unusual.

The vast majority of Americans want the Trump presidency and administration to end as soon as possible. In America, majority rules!

okay one of two things is happening here. Either Trump was honest about this and this is a slip up the American people should really worry about. Or he was joking in which case this is the worst joke ever told in the history of humanity since there was no punchline and no delivery

Notice how the defenders of proto-fascist Trump try to equate individual liberty and freedom of expression with national weakness? That is how fascism gets its foothold. The convenience of the dictator becomes equivalent to the national strength. Anyone who disagrees is first an inconvenience, then a weakness, and finally, an enemy.

Then the concentration camps can begin work on what they were really meant for.

Get a life, indeed!

PC has taken over - the libby left has no sense of humour.

Sense of humour?

I thought Samantha Bee was quite amusing in a stark fashion the other week, did the far right Trumpettes enjoy her joke, or De Niro's, or Colbert's?

Guess not...

Normally when a would-be comedian's 'jokes' are so dire and fall so flat, the advice they are given is 'Don't give up the day job'.

I think Donny should give up the day job and concentrate on getting a sense of humour. Or even humor.

The media is the enemy, the comedians are not showing respect, the sports people are being un-American, the former allies are back stabbers and, most shocking of all, the children are being taken away from the parents... whilst the fascists laugh and applaud.

This is where you're at, America. Joking about it, as you slide into the abyss.

Har!

I suppose some people might find the idea of internment and creeping fascism a bit of a jape, but it's really not cause to chortle.

Still, dictators are known for their cruel humour and lack of respect for human rights, so it's hardly a surprise.

I didn’t even know Kim had a sense of humor. This is news to me.

Trump bombs with joke about N Korean leader Kim

Interesting headline. It's almost like there is a deep MSM operation to sideline Trumps wonderful achievement.

Go figure

Don't make a joke about people having to sit up at attention or otherwise they're killed as in North Korea
