Trump is signaling that he'd like other foreign leaders besides NK's to go after Biden

Linking to Trump's tweet -- rather, the corrected version, since he reposted it after posting it earlier with Biden's name misspelled as "Bidan":





North Korea fired off some small weapons, which disturbed some of my people, and others, but not me. I have confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me, & also smiled when he called Swampman Joe Biden a low IQ individual, & worse. Perhaps that’s sending me a signal?



This is a despicable tweet, praising a vicious dictator and minimizing his firing off "some small weapons" -- and apparently doing so at least in part because of the North Korean criticism of Biden.

But I don't believe Trump's thinking only of the North Korean leader.

Trump and his surrogates have ridiculed what Biden has said about foreign leaders wanting him to run against Trump. But I'm sure they actually believe him and are worried about it.

Trump and Giuliani have been trying to get current and former Ukrainian officials to give them information to use against Biden.

I read somewhere that Trump is planning to ask Theresa May to help him find out what role British intelligence played in what he's calling an "attempted coup" -- which Trump and his surrogates are starting to blame on Biden.

And now Trump's making it clear that foreign leaders who want to please him and curry favor with him just have to attack Joe Biden.

He's trying to weaponize diplomacy to help him against a political rival.

Excuse me? Is someone projecting here? The dumbest fucking man on the planet has the nerve to insult the intelligence of others? Biden can run circles around him.

That apparently embarrassed Trump enough that he or one of his flunkies deleted the tweet and reposted it with Biden's name spelled correctly.

his doormats will try anything to take down Joe Biden. More of the same as he did in 2016 against Hillary.

Absolutely unhinged collaboration, with anybody who's anti American to justify his condition, and feather his nest.
"tiny missiles"....?

ever in my life. I can't believe that his staff allow him to make those tweets or even to correct his spelling.
This is outrageous and the outrage fatigue is real. WTF

So, the Orange Shitgibbon had to manually override Autocorrect to delete the 'e' and replace it with an 'a'. Of course that was the right thing to do, since he has told us many times that he is a 'very stable genius'.

"In the tweet, Trump also admitted he has more “confidence” in dictator Kim Jong-un than his own national security advisors."

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/05/trump-jeered-for-overseas-attack-on-joe-biden-this-alone-should-be-an-impeachment-charge/

And he tweeted this while visiting Japan, a country which is threatened by N.K.'s weapons. This is a huge diplomatic misstep for tRump.

He's off his f'n rocker and is falling off the cliff now. Insane. The press needs to megaphone this shocking tweet and explain its implications.

Kim would use the exact same words that you use to describe Joe Biden. We know your brain-dead cult members will believe this anyway, but you certainly don't expect anyone with more than a modicum of intelligence to buy this horse shit, do you?

So North Korea can fire all the missiles it wants so long as Chairman Kim is against @JoeBiden.
