I’m a little bit annoyed that so much of the media seems to be shocked that Trump is acting like a psycho. It’s not as if he didn’t telegraph it throughout he campaign and many of the them acted as if email server management was the top skill required for he president.
Remember his praise for Kim Jong Un?
“If you look at North Korea, this guy, he’s like a maniac, OK? And you’ve got to give him credit: How many young guys — he was like 26 or 25 when his father died — take over these tough generals and all of a sudden, you know, it’s pretty amazing when you think of it. How does he do that? Even though it is a culture, and it’s a culture thing, he goes in, he takes over, he’s the boss. It’s incredible.”
“I mean, it’s amazing that a young guy would go over and take over. You know, you would have thought that these tough generals would have said no way this is gonna happen when the father died. So he’s gotta have something going for him, because he kept control, which is amazing for a young person to do.”
That man is our president now.
*To be fair, he also called him a madman and a nutjob, but I don’t know that he meant it as a criticism.
