Donald dreams of dictators

President Donald Trump reliably tells the truth on one thing: He likes the way dictators do business.
“He speaks, and his people sit up at attention,” Trump said on Friday morning of North Korean despot Kim Jong Un in an interview with Fox News — a network where he receives no shortage of praise. “I want my people to do the same.”
Some of the people who worked for Kim have been fired, “Fox & Friends ” hype man Steve Doocy pointed out. Trump corrected him: “Fired may be a nice word.”
Some less nice words: Poisoned. Blown apart by anti-aircraft guns. Sent to work camps.
It’s not that Trump isn’t aware. Fox’s Bret Baier reminded the president of Kim’s record earlier this week during their Air Force One interview en route home from the Trump-Kim summit in Singapore that Kim is “clearly executing people.”

he told us all what he was going to do. we just couldn't believe his gall to say it out loud.
