Is there a dictator Trump doesn’t like?
Very Good Relationship with Kim Jong Un
Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea. These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but 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. Therefore, and based on the fact that it is too late to cancel, I have instructed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to substantially reduce the Joint Military Exercises! While somewhat unrelated (?), I recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said, “No thanks!” Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

What Trump Admires
Once again Trump trashes allies and warms up to dictators. He admires the absolute control of Putin and Kim Jong Un.
Don’t worry, this is “somewhat unrelated (?)” to South Korea wisely refusing to get involved in Trump’s stupid war with Iran.
But if Trump listened to allies (other than Israel), we would not be in this mess.
I don’t object to reduced military spending. In fact, I think we should declare the war won (for the 50th time), except this time we should leave.
I do object to the asinine tone of Trump’s statement and the further trashing of allies just to feed his larger than galaxy-sized ego.
