President Donald Trumps meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung took an unexpected turn Monday when the U.S. leader decided to bring up the topic of forced prostitution.
The White House meeting spanned several geopolitical issues, including potential unification of South Korea and North Korea, economic partnerships between South Korea and the U.S., as well as South Koreas political stability, which has been on shaky ground since former President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law in December.

Between this and praising Kim, I'm amazed President Lee Jae-myung didn't walk out.

He went into detail -- his eyes went glassy -- describing how the women were bound in tape and their mouths were taped and they struggled but it did them no good...blah-blah. The color of the tape used even changed from one of his descriptions to the other. That's when I became suspicious that he gets off on violent sex and possibly bondage.
And, altho' she recanted, I still believe his first wife's account of him raping her in a fit of anger over a painful scalp procedure he had endured. Ivana had recommended the doctor.
He is a sadist who delights in the suffering of others.
