President Trump endorsed North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un’s leadership, weeks ahead of their second summit in Vietnam.
Trump, who previously dubbed Kim “Rocket Man” for the country’s efforts to obtain nuclear weapons, offered a new description of the country and its leader Friday.
“North Korea will become a different kind of Rocket – an Economic one!” Trump wrote, also saying the hermit kingdom has the ability to become “a great Economic Powerhouse” under Kim.
……..
It’s a drastic turn from his State of the Union address last year, in which Trump condemned the country’s human rights abuses.
……
Trump and Kim are scheduled to meet in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Feb. 27-28. The two met for the first time in Singapore in June.

I’ve made it a point to avoid commenting on his tweets but can you imagine what’s going through the minds of the US intelligence community after reading this? In fact, every intelligence community. This is truly mind boggling. Just let it sink in. He leads the GOP. https://t.co/yrjvcT5p1C

The same people who are praising the steely toughness of pulling out of the INF Treaty (*snort*) are totally okay with this, because the Cult of Personality demands it. https://t.co/nnzjsAlBbv
