Trump gushed like a lovestruck teenager today because NK dictator KJU apparently follows him on Twitter.
After Trump tweeted out a request to do a quick photo-op with the NK leader during his G20 trip, the president was visibly excited by the fact that KJU’s people quickly responded to the request.
“He follows my Twitter,” Trump said, while speaking for America on the world stage. “I guess so, because we got a call very quickly. A lot of people follow it.”
Sheeesh....... What Trump really seems to want is a photo op with murderous NK dictator KJU. Here is Trump tweeting out a plea for Kim to please come and hang out at the DMZ. Please, please come and spend time with me and take selfies.
In the past, American presidents have used events like the G20 to stand in solidarity with U.S. allies and promote liberal democracy on the world stage.
Since Trump took office, though, he has used these events to cozy up to dictators and autocrats, like Russian president Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
In fact, according to WaPo, when Trump was given the opportunity to defend “Western-style liberalism” in response to criticism from Putin, Trump sidestepped the question and demonstrated that he doesn’t know a damn thing about liberal democracy, which presidents of both parties have consistently promoted on the world stage.
Instead, Trump used the question to attack major cities in California, saying they are “sad to look at” because they are “run by liberal people.”
What’s truly “sad to look at” is an American president standing on the world stage, selling out democracy and cozying up to brutal dictators.
