Trump Gets an Important Endorsement
Well, this could put him over the top:
Late last year Russian strongman Vladimir Putin praised Donald Trump as a "very outstanding man," calling the real-estate heir and presidential candidate "unquestionably talented." (Trump later boasted several times that Putin had called him a "genius," which is not true.)
Now another geopolitically belligerent regime has followed Putin's lead: a new column in a North Korean state media publication describes Trump as "wise" and suggests that his hostile stance toward South Korea could benefit the North. (Trump has complained that South Korea does not contribute enough to its own defense and says he would potentially withdraw U.S. troops from the peninsula.)
So, the world's most infamously oppressive/insane government is praising the presumptive Republican presidential nominee because it thinks his election would help it overrun one of the United States' key democratic allies in Asia. We live in interesting times.

Trump is too dangerous to be president

Re: Trump Gets an Important Endorsement
Yeah, all the world leaders and traditional allies of the U.S. are scurrying to endorse Drumpf:
Kim Jong-Un Endorses Donald Trump
Korean Business News Daily is reporting that North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Un has allegedly thrown in his support for Donald Trump in the United States 2016 Presidential election. Kim Jong-Un, taking a break from controlling the weather, has allegedly been “closely following” both the GOP and Democratic debates and only came to this decision “after watching the Democrat debate on Tuesday night” according to KB News Daily.
“The Supreme Leader closely weighed and measured the talents all of the U.S. candidates and gave them all careful consideration,” says the alleged official statement from the DPRK government. “Supreme Leader has considered all of the choices and has named Donald Trump the official candidate of the DPRK.”
The North Korean statement continued to state that Kim Jong-Un “admired” Donald Trump’s plan to “build a wall to keep his people safe”. However, the Supreme Leader plans to “work to assist Donald Trump in less expensive ways of protecting his people from outside threats.” Jong-Un alleges that he “keeps the great people of North Korea say from Imperialist invaders without a border wall” and he reportedly feels that he can lend a hand in helping Trump work through the challenges he would face in his first term.
Jeung Sang Wook of Korean Business News Daily has been following this developing story and adds that, “Kim Jong-Un is not in favor of Donald Trump’s policies on guns as, obviously, he’d like to see an America that is weaker militarily. However, he does apparently feel that of all of the potential United States candidates, Trump has the closest mindset to himself.”
Jeung Sang Wook continues, “Surprisingly, Kim Jong-Un was nearly ready to endorse Jim Webb as the official DPRK backed candidate, but he felt that Jim Webb’s showing at the recent Democrat political debate was lacking. His (Kim Jong-Un’s) overall support of Trump’s immigration policy, combined with Webb’s inability to conduct himself on the world stage helped solidify the decision.”
It is unknown what exactly this “endorsement” by Kim Jong-Un will mean for Trump’s campaign. Will his supporters react negatively when finding out one of the world’s most infamous dictators agrees with an immigration policy they have shown their support for? I suppose only time will tell.
Jeung Sang Wook feels the endorsement is not a big deal. “Kim Jong-Un just likes to talk,” he concludes. “This is no different than him threatening to ‘destroy the West’. He is egotistical enough to feel he is affecting American politics by making a statement such as this.”
"Kim Jong-Un just likes to talk". Does that sound like anyone else you know on the political stage today?
As they say: "Birds of a feather flock together". Sounds like a match made in heaven . . . Or is it hell?

We'll be at war before they finish swearing him in.

Re: Trump Gets an Important Endorsement
National Report is a website which posts fictional articles related to world events.
It is described by Snopes.com as a fake news site,[4] by FactCheck.org as a satirical site and by Caitlin Dewey of the Washington Post as part of a fake-news industry, making profits from "duping gullible Internet users with deceptively newsy headlines."
The National Report describes itself as a "news and political satire web publication" and provides a disclaimer that "all news articles contained within National Report are fiction". The disclaimer, however, is not printed on the main page, which instead claims that the website is "America's #1 Independent News Source."

Actually, the North Korean despot's praise of Donald Trump was reported by the Washington post, and shared here by Fred.
Let's not just skip over that nugget, and pretend that it does not exist.
That's just not cricket.

Re: Trump Gets an Important Endorsement
Is there some reason that you are posting the same link repeatedly?
Go look at the Washington Post link that Fred Shared.
