Trump: Kim's people sit up when he speaks, 'I want my people to do the same'
By Max Greenwood - 06/15/18 08:57 AM EDT
President Trump said on Friday that he wants "his people" to listen to him like North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's people listen to him.
"Hes the head of a country. And I mean, he is the strong head," Trump said of Kim in a tongue-in-cheek manner as he spoke to Steve Doocy of "Fox & Friends" outside the White House.
"Dont let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same," Trump said.
It wasn't clear what Trump meant by "his people" and "my people," phrasings that could be interpreted to mean all North Koreans and Americans but that could also mean those people reporting directly to the two leaders.
Doocy did not ask a direct follow-up question to clarify.

only, they aren't 'playing' dead if they show anything less than total subservient obedience.
I can see what Trump likes about that.

They are terrified.
Later: Trump now saying it was a joke.
