I’m not sure adding a communist dictatorship to an extra legal international body that doesn’t actually do any good is a baby step to anything good.

Meeting with North Korea was one of the triumphs of Trump’s presidency, just as Nixon met with China. Trump tries to understand his opponents in order to succeed in his negotiations. And that means he praises where praise works in his favor. If Trump can overcome stolen elections in 2024, he’ll still want NK’s cooperation.

Well, it is, if you’re talking about a communist dictatorship that does nothing but threaten its neighbors and sucks China’s teat. International but does nothing good is a slight improvement.

How many of you out there would willingly work for Donald Trump?

My test of a man is would I go into battle with him. This man is still in the fight when most have laid down.

Trump is not perfect, but I will fight with him. Why, because he has revealed a lot of his heart to us if you ignore the media.

blasted former US President Donald Trump for his comments praising North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, after the country received a seat on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) executive board.


This is part of the negotiation and setting expectation. It is a good negotiation tactic.

When I greet my doctor in his office, I ask, “how is the world’s best doctor today?”

Fair enough, I would have difficulty working for someone who demands loyalty to him, but will criticize you personally at the drop of a hat.

I contrast that to a battalion commander I worked for in Germany, and at Fort Bliss. His mantra was that "respect is given (due to rank and position), but loyalty must be earned.

There were numerous times he chewed me out. LOL, I was a 1st LT running his supply operations, plenty of opportunities to make mistakes. However, I knew that two minutes after leaving his office, it was forgotten, he held no grudges.

Could I work for Trump? Not likely, I'm done working for people that don't hold themselves responsible for their mistakes, instead blaming others when things aren't going well. I ran into several of those types when I was in the Army.

I endured it by telling myself I had no plans to make the Army a career, so I didn't have to worry about kissing their asses.

In times of a real fight it takes different leaders. It takes gruff, difficult men like Patton at certain points.

Other leadership is needed at different times.

What’s not to congratulate “Rocket Man” for such a victory? Unfortunately this probably won’t work in favor of the WHO’s integrity or approval.

WHO is a corrupt, China-owned morass. But at least they lifted a fat dictator’s self-esteem a little. He got a participation trophy. Why shouldn’t Trump congratulate him.

Why must he?

Because it’ll serve him well when he’s POTUS again, and weaning Little Kim away from China, and it harms nothing.

Who knows? Maybe Donald Trump will get “Rocket Man’s” endorsement. As for “Weaning him away from China” 😂

An impossible dream. I know. But worth a try anyway.
