Commander-in-Tweet lauds Kim Jong-un like a BFF & business partner

[Soph0571]

Geopolitics aside, I get this tingly sensation that something is seriously off-kilter here. On the other hand, Donald Trump is always the eternal pitchman. And Kim is again the flavor of the month in the run-up to the second summit between himself and Cadet Bone Spurs in Vietnam. So maybe this tweet is just simply being an especially grotesque example of Trump as marketeer. Then, too, I am extremely reluctant to speculate in a way that generates ridicule of anyone’s mental health. But if it’s not just Trump’s hyperbolic self-promotion at work, it’s impossible not to wonder if something’s gone wholly awry in this man’s head.

Until I remember that he’s always been this way on Twitter, and has merely ratcheted it up another embarrassing notch.

Onward to Trump Tower in Pyongyang. Advice to the capable Mr. Kim: Take no checks.

I think he literally wishes he could be Kim... All that power and 'devotion' of the people...

1. He's projecting this as an image he wants people to believe

And its more than likely, the way this guy lies, its all for PR, and all BS. Putin probably has him where Kim did all the missile testing he needed , and now has his weapons delivery system fully tested and functioning while he produces more warheads, then trump claims he's done something great for us here. Kim has now the capability to deliver a nuclear weapon anywhere inside the USA, while trump claims he's our friend and his buddy. What a load of BS. He's done the same thing with putin.

3. I imagine that

Kim Jong - Un is sitting in a conference room surrounded by his different deputies - and on a large monitor is projected IQ45's latest "praise of the leader" - amazing things that Trump is saying about the exalted Korean leader - and they (the Koreans) are all doubled over with laughter at this latest absurdity.......
