So you don’t have to click the link, “SK” refers to “South Korea”, not a person with those initals.

I find the OP lacking in detail. That, and Donald Trump is a petty, childish buffoon.

Yes, I admitted in the OP I screwed it up and apologized. I was trying to post quotes and links from my phone but it disappeared as I submitted it. I at least added the link but when I tried to recompose the post, I missed the edit window.

Typical a-hole behavior. On the plus side, I completely forgot that I installed the “Make Trump a Cat” app, and instead of seeing that carotene infused cretin, I was pleasantly surprised to see a kitten.

Stephen King’s Maine accent is rather risible. Even so . . .

I thought of Stephen King first. Maybe he’s the most famous SK?  
And I have both the kittens and puppies thing. So, I can have either kittens or puppies - whichever wins.

I thought you meant Stephen King and was all “Ok, Trump this is the LAST STRAW”, but now I see he just insulted an entire country, (probably 2, if you count NK who must have a somewhat similar accent, probably an entire continent if it was “asian” accent) so, meh, I guess , business as usual for this disgrace to the human species.

Well don’t leave out Japan. He mocked them too.

Donald J Trump is a fucking jerk.
