North Korean Editorial Backs Donald Trump For U.S. President

[Siwsan]

An editorial in North Korea’s state-run media on Tuesday offered high praise for presumptive U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Trump is a “wise politician” and “far-sighted presidential candidate,” the Korean-language article in DPRK Today argues.

The editorial, attributed to Chinese North Korean scholar Han Yong-mook, is not official government policy. Yet it likely reflects the authoritarian regime’s thinking, experts told NK News.

“There are many positive aspects to Trump’s ‘inflammatory policies,’” the article says, listing two in particular: Trump’s offer to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and his threat to remove U.S. forces from South Korea, which is still technically at war with the North.

“Yes, do it now,” the editorial urged Trump, reflecting Pyongyang’s long-held demand the U.S. troops leave the Korean peninsula. “Who knew that the slogan ‘Yankee Go Home’ would come true like this?”

The editorial went on to provide some advice for U.S. voters: “The president that U.S. citizens must vote for is not that dull Hillary [Clinton] ... but Trump, who spoke of holding direct conversations with North Korea.”

A dictator endorsing a would be dictator. Not really surprising. Of course, the north koreans also see it as a way to mess up with us but still..

3. I'm sure his supporters will spin this into some kind of a positive...

Coming from such a "strong leader" as it is. Hell, Putin likes him, this should just seal the deal.

Trump leads in the "most admired by the biggest assholes on the planet" category.
