LOL, wut. This is some real North Korean State Television style bullshit.
2017 on his first day as president, he was scheduled to call the prime minister of Austrailia.
It's typically a nothing call. Usually short, basically just "Hi, I'm the new president of America. You're our ally. Happy to talk, ok, buh-bye now."
And he's supposed to do like 20 of those calls on his first day.
Upon talking, he IMMEDIATELY changed the tone to hostile and aggressive, and ended the call by saying "NO NO, IN THIS LIFE IT'S AMERICA FIRST, AND YOU NEVER, FUCKHEAD!" before slamming the phone. I forget the full quote the prime minister said to the media, but it was something along the lines of "I don't know what that phone call was. I was prepared to invite him for a presidential tour and meeting here, as is customary, and expected to be invited to America for him to give me a tour of America. Then he got pushy, and now I'm saved a 16 hour flight, but worry for Americas future if that's who they elected".
Remember, that was the day after inauguration. First day on the job, and our ally was (rightfully) worried about our future.
Within a week trump had met with North Koreas dictator, and trump was interviewed as saying "Now THATS a leader! That's someone who's respected. I want that for America. How do I get that gig?"
Again. Talking about Kim Jong Ill.
More trench coat and way, way more medals 😉
And every medal has a FIFA logo on it.
GÖOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLEuh!
Is Donvict going to find a way to put that stolen Nobel Peace Prize on his chest? I'm trying to think of all the participation trophies he might dream up to give himself.
The first row is just Nobel’s, the second row is just those little Monopoly stickers from all the chezburgurz 😉
Nonsense. North Korean movies have famously been pretty good.
