I’ve read a lot about the North Korean Kim ‘empire’, and have to say that they will remain on the top of my list for a long, long time. But… Now that we have deeply stupid version of Kim Jong Un wanabe ‘running’ the United States, my focus has changed. ---

Trump promised to pay off entire national debt in eight years. At this point, he will have to run a $4.5 trillion surplus for the next five years to keep that promise. ---

I loved the initial angry face just before he got the signal that cameras were rolling. I’ve no doubt it was because he was told, “Mr. President, you can’t use the phrase ‘_died like a dog_’ to describe the death of Al Baghdadi - it wouldn’t be seen as Presidential… and we took out the language, ‘_screaming, crying and whimpering_’…We are sure you’re right, but please just read what’s on the teleprompter, Mr. President. We’re begging you, sir.” ---
