Trump says he wants "my people" to sit at attention for him like people do for Kim Jong Un
CBS "News" ^ | June 15, 2018 | By KATHRYN WATSON

President Trump declared in a spur-of-the-moment interview with "Fox and Friends" Friday morning that he wants people to sit at attention for him like they do for North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

Kim stands accused of leading a murderous regime that starves its own people. But Mr. Trump has heaped praise on Kim since meeting with him in Singapore, saying repeatedly that the two have "good chemistry."

"Hey, he is the head of a country and I mean he is the strong head," Mr. Trump told Fox News' Steve Doocy on the White House lawn Friday. "Don't let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same."

Pressed by a reporter about those remarks moments later, Mr. Trump said he was "kidding."

"I'm kidding, you don't understand sarcasm," the president said.

The spur-of-the-moment White House lawn interview was, in the memory of those present, unprecedented.

They believe he has some duty to cave to them.


The Mediacracy basically was in control of the country for nearly 60 years.

They expect politicians to dance to their tune.

He did it on purpose. Everything he does is on purpose. He doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, and the only thing that gets him excited is getting stuff done.

Trump will continue to win as long as people keep underestimating him. When the time comes that they finally take him seriously, that’s when its going to probably get bloody.

Hmmm...Trump has a sense of humor.

I guess the media would rather cover the celebrities with elevated views.

He just keeps knocking them out of the park.

One of my favorites was the Mayors of cities (WASHDC in particular) saying the idea of a Military parade was preposterous, too much planning, not enough notice, can’t afford the security etc etc etc

BUT kind of stood in ‘awe’ when the Caps won The Stanley Cup and within 10 days half the city (downtown) was ‘sealed up’ on a WEEKDAY for the Caps ‘Victory Parade’...

Not saying they don’t/didn’t deserve it etc but I did question where the priorities are/were for these so called ‘leaders’...

We mention ‘sarcasm’ etc in his Sit at Attention remark but it is/was a beautiful way of getting the MSM to show how stupid and petty they are.

Am pretty sure when PDT was mentioning the Parade for the Military it was after watching similar events held throughout the world

BUT either one of his aide ‘plants’ suggested ‘What about the tanks’ and PDT ‘bit’ and said ‘Of course etc etc’ and the MSM ran with PDT wants parade with all the ‘hardware’ - does he think he is in Russia on May Day????

When, ‘knowing’ Trumps sardonic, sarcastic way, I can see him rolling his eyes and saying “OF COURSE, BRING ON THE TANKS”...

Of course, if one doesn’t ‘understand’ New Yorkers and especially Queens NYers that ‘captured’ Manhattan, one will never ‘understand’ PDT

When is CBS going to quit taking the bait?

Trump is the laser pointer, the media is the cat.

"The dishonesty of CBS is on full display there. They know a lot of people will just read the headline of that story."

Modern day Journalism 101: write headlines and text easily grasped by the low information voter who has no interest or intention to delve any further into the story.

Notice how the writer quickly felt the need to point out what a scumbag Kim is, and how Trump seems to admire him.

“That was a great one by the Gipper!
How about Coulter’s “ We need to kill all the muslim men and convert their women and children to our religion.”? Talk about a pantie twister!”

The quote is:

“We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them all to Christianity”.

Excellent quote. Well said. One of the worst arguments I ever experienced with a family member was when I posted that on facebook. Talk about shouting in CAPS, spewing venom and in general a major meltdown........

I watch Trump make the comment and he was just being sarcastic. It’s his way and he should keep it up.

I check my state's three "major" newspapers online for morning headlines.

This completely distorted report was on the front page of one of them.

The IG's report didn't make a mention in any one of the newspapers.

We can debate if President Trump is the best president ever, but it is indisputable that Trump is the most fun and entertaining president in history. He is a laugh a minute. When .i’m not laughing with him, I am laughing at how he drives the commie Rats and their media shills insane.

Easily the most fun and funny president ever. I dont know where he gets the energy. By comparison, Obama was watching paint dry while listening to fingernails scratching a chalk board.
