Trump Boasts of ‘Very Good Relationship’ With North Korean Leader

WASHINGTON — Barely more than a week after boasting that he has a bigger nuclear button than Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, President Trump portrayed himself on Thursday as having good relations with the autocratic leader of the rogue nation.

“I probably have a very good relationship with Kim Jong-un,” Mr. Trump told The Wall Street Journal in an interview. “I have relationships with people. I think you people are surprised.”

Mr. Trump declined to say whether he had directly spoken with his North Korean counterpart. “I’m not saying I have or haven’t,” he said.

But the rosy description of his relationship with the North Korean leader was another jarring reversal in tone from a president who has spoken admiringly of Mr. Kim in some moments and mocked him in others, referring to him as a fat “Little Rocket Man.”

You can tell he's driving the NYT insane.  ;-)

Trump yanks the LiberalProgressives chain once again. They'll yell and scream that he doesn't while he goes off and does what he has to do.

May God Bless Trump and Confound his Enemies Continually.

Look at the little tiny mouth on that kid. How does he manage to stick enough food in it to maintain his corpulence.

He must eat constantly. Using LITTLE TINY BITES!

I remember reading that when he was a kid his mother would personally pick out the best rice for him to eat, grain by grain.

In North Korea, the people are trained to think of him as a god.

So, when Donald Trump first began "bad-mouthing" the vaunted leader, he and his henchmen were shocked that anyone would even think to talk like that about him.

“And his opinions on Haiti? Made me laugh-big time.”

Between that and this now, the heads of the propaganda organs must be exploding.

Does anybody remember a book by the boy who cried Wolff?

And we still have the Fakies awards to look forward to!

Anybody know who’s carrying those?
