Donald Trump's GOP rivals pounce after he congratulated Kim Jong Un: 'Not something to play with'

WASHINGTON ? Republican presidential candidates and other GOP leaders shed their reluctance to criticize Donald Trump this weekend after the ex-president served up an unusual political issue: North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

Trump's praise of Kim for a new position with the World Health Organization drew attacks from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and other Republicans who said the former president's foreign policy is reckless.

"I was surprised to see that," DeSantis told reporters in Iowa, where a number of GOP candidates stumped over the weekend.

DeSantis condemned Kim as a "murderous dictator" and called the World Health Organization "bankrupt." He and other Republicans have long attacked the organization for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

1. "I thought all Republican liked dictators."

They're just jealous since they are all wannabee dictators.

2. He's praising Kim Jong Un while standing in the middle of Fifth Avenue

It's not going to change his leverage. He's being transgressive, trying to show who's loyal or not. Geopolitics isn't the game; it's a piece in the game.

On edit: He could also be trying to distract from (what I hope is) his coming indictment.

3. funny how their attitude about kissing NK's ass has changed now that they are runnnig against him

3-4 years ago it was "of the liberal media doesn't understand his genius" and "we're respected in the world now!" Suddenly it is not good to lick Kim's boots? LOL these people are so transparent
