Kim Jong Un Upset to Learn That Trump Is Seeing Other Dictators

PYONGYANG (The Borowitz Report)—The North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, is reportedly “upset” and “hurt” that Donald J. Trump is seeing other dictators, sources in Pyongyang have confirmed.

According to an aide close to the North Korean leader, Kim was “devastated” to see images of Trump warmly embracing another dictator in Helsinki on Monday, just one month after jetting off to Singapore to spend a memorable and intense five hours with Kim.

Shortly after their time together, aides close to Kim warned him against becoming emotionally attached to Trump, alerting Kim to press reports linking the American to many other dictators.

“He’s been quoted saying nice things about Xi Jinping and Rodrigo Duterte, to name just two,” one aide said. “Trump could never commit to just one dictator. When it comes to autocrats and strongmen, he’s a total player.”

Still, despite all the red flags, seeing Trump in the clutches of another dictator left Kim “deeply wounded,” aides said.

“Donald Trump said that he and I had a ‘special bond,’ ” Kim reportedly said, choking back tears. “I guess that meant something different to him than it did to me.”

How trump when he's meeting dictators he turns to jello. We've watched him do this several times now, doing anything to get their approval of him, and afraid of confrontation, afraid of them completely. But before our allies he turns into trump the insult dog, nothing is out of bounds to use to insult them with. This isn't from trump , and is a very well thought out plan to use to shake other countries down with, or a protection racket, while he knows he'll abandon them in a heartbeat if attacked using some wild excuse why he'll turn his back on them. Is he getting pointers on how they have absolute power, and how they use it to keep themselves in power? trump IS a illegitimate president, something he can't stand to be thought of like that. Also did he and putin agree for putin to undermine the upcoming elections, or to cyber attack us so trump could start a war somewhere for political reasons and cover? It sure looks like it to me. HE's a russia asset for putin now, and Americans better get their head wrapped around that , and quick or it may be too late to prevent him becoming our dictator like putin is in russia.
