Trump Vis-á-Vis Kim Jong-un: Praises Kim While Taking Swiping at Obama & Biden

Will resume relations with Smart Guy Kim

Trump first meets Kim in Singapore

(Ouchie: Squeeze handshake is Trump's trademark)

Trump has gone off the deep end of the reality standard after only a few days back in power – this THE INDEPENDENT article headline cites one key example and pretty much says it all:

“Trump describes North Korea leader Kim Jong-Un in two words as he takes swipe at Obama and Biden”

Trump described Kim as a “smart guy” during an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News on Thursday (23 January), saying: “He’s not a religious zealot. He happens to be a smart guy. Kim Jong-Un is a smart guy.”

Trump repeated his good relations with the North Korean leader even as ties between Washington and Pyongyang deteriorated underJoe Biden’s administration

My 2 Cents: If there are two areas of the world that I know well and have studied for years including 47 weeks studying their languages while I was an interrogator in the Marine Corps, they are North Korea and Russia, plus I served in Korea for nearly 12 years. 

I do agree with Trump when he says that Kim, Jong-un is “a smart guy” true but only smart in an ugly and evil way in his methods and goals, just like Putin. 

Kim, Jong-un even had his half-brother, Kim Jong-nam assassinated on February 13, 2017. 

Kim Jong-nam died after being exposed to VX nerve agent at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia. 

It is widely believed that he was killed on the orders of his half-brother. Four North Korean suspects left the airport shortly after the attack, traveling back to Pyongyang. 

Plus, Kim, Jong-un had his once-powerful uncle, Chang, Song-taek executed after being purged for “acts of treachery” in 2013. 

Kim and Putin both know Trump well and what precisely what makes him tick, too. 

They both play Trump a fiddle to get his kudos and what they want from him, and it seems to work, too, e.g., North Korean troops now helping Putin in his war against Ukraine, and Trump doesn't seem to mind much, but he said he will look into the matter as reported on here.

Thanks for stopping by.
