Trump's Buffoonish Relationship With Kim Jong Un
Bob Woodward has released transcripts of some of his phone calls with Donald Trump, made while Trump was president.
If this stuff doesnt invoke Idiocracy to you, you need to have your sense of absurdity checked to see if it is working.
Idiocracy is the famous Mike Judge movie about the stupid future world humanity is creating for itself. In the Idiocracy even the leaders are dumbasses.
Woodward asked Trump about Kim Jong Un, the ruthless North Korean dictator.
"We got along great. We've always gotten along great. ... You meet somebody and you have a good chemistry, and there is a lot of truth to it. You meet a woman, in one second, you know whether or not it's all going to happen. Okay? We had very good chemistry together."
"I said [to Kim], 'Did you ever hear of the song "Rocket Man"?' He said, 'No, no.' 'Did you ever hear of Elton John?' 'No, no.' I said, 'I did you a great favor. I called you Rocket Man.' He goes, 'You called me Little Rocket Man!'"
Woodward then has this exchange with Trump about Kim Jong Un
Woodward: "Have you given Kim too much power?"
Trump: "No."
Woodward: "Because if he's defiant, if he shoots one of those ICBMs ..."
Trump: "Doesn't matter."
Woodward: "... what are you going to do, sir?"
Trump: "That doesn't – let me tell you, whether I gave it to him or not, if he shoots, he shoots. And if he shoots, he shoots."
Woodward was stunned that Trump would so cavalierly talk about an adversary firing a nuclear weapon.
One final comment from Trump
Trump: "I get people, they come up with ideas. But the ideas are mine, Bob. The ideas are mine. Want to know something? Everything is mine."

Liz Cheney - "this man cannot be allowed within a million miles of the presidency".
That is infinitely closer than Liz Cheney will ever see any elected office.
As an independent centrist I could see myself voting for Liz.
That is infinitely closer than Liz Cheney will ever see any elected office.
We heard you the first time.
donald's narcissism is growing.
Sure hope Trump doesn't plead the 5th. That would take all of the fun out of it.
GO KC CHIEFS!
