Trump Fawns Over Brutal Dictator While Stabbing Longtime Ally in the Back
President Donald Trump thirsted after brutal dictator Kim Jong Un during an appearance in the Oval Office after revealing the U.S. would scale back its military partnership with South Korea in the region.
Trump, 80, was questioned about his decision and the North Korean dictator while taking questions on Monday, where he gushed over Kim Jong Un treating him with “respect.” “How do you respond to the folks who say that you are prioritizing the interests of adversaries in North Korea over our long partners?” a reporter asked.
“I’m making it much safer.
You see, I’m actually making it much safer.
Kim Jong Un has always treated me with great respect,” Trump declared.
The president said he met and spoke with the dictator, claiming, “I understand him.
He understands me,” and insisting, “I get along with him.” “He didn’t like Biden.
He didn’t like Obama.
He didn’t like anybody, but I get along with him very well,” Trump said.
The president’s comments on Monday came after he announced in a post on Truth Social over the weekend that the U.S. would “substantially reduce” joint military exercises with South Korea.
He wrote that, based on his “very good relationship with Kim Jong Un,” he was “not happy with” the U.S. agreeing long ago to the exercises.
Trump ranted in his post that the exercises were costly and “send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J.
Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful.” It comes as the intelligence community under Trump has assessed that North Korea continues enhancing its own missiles, has successfully tested intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the U.S., and remains committed to expanding its nuclear arsenal and nuclear-capable systems.
North Korea also continues to pose a critical cyber threat to the U.S., and it continues to grow its partnership with Russia.
