During a surprise interview with “Fox & Friends” on Friday, Trump said he was impressed by the respect that Kim commanded from his people.

“He’s the head of the country — and he’s the strong head, don’t let anyone think anything different,” Trump said during the interview. “He speaks and his people sit up in attention. I want my people to do the same.”

Kim Jong-un runs a totalitarian dictatorship in which people face imprisonment or execution if they criticize him. According to human rights watchdog Amnesty International, North Korea has imprisoned an estimated 120,000 people based on political grounds across four separate camps dedicated to imprisoning political dissidents.

Despite this, the president has praised Kim for being a “very tough” leader who “loves” the people of his country.

Except it ain't!!!

[CentralMass]

3. Good luck with that.

[CentralMass]

34. I'm standing at attention while I wave my bared buttocks in his general direction

[HopeAgain]

4. "His people" do sit up at attention

when he speaks. I just don't happen to be one of "his people."

[lagomorph777]

17. Does sitting up and hitting the Mute button count?

If so, I'm on board!

[notdarkyet]

5. I am not your people and I will never obey you.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Obey, fear, and admire is an immobilizing triad

It keeps people emotionally confused so they do nothing about the dictator

[Freethinker65]

7. Wow. Kinda thought he was "elected" to work for us????

We are NOT his people.

This kind of talk is dangerous and every legislator should be asked about it.

[PearliePoo2]

9. Just now when a reporter asked him about that, he said he was just kidding.

Yeah, I'll bet.

insane fucker.

[neeksgeek]

10. Dear Mr President: go to hell.

[DiverDave]

Eom

[Achilleaze]

11. F*ck you, Dirty Donny (R). This is America. Not North Korea

Disgusting.

[AllaN01Bear]

12. you are a figurehead . not a tinplated dictated and you can be replaced dont forget that .

[jayschool2013]

13. Parents of Korean War veterans

OK, let's say someone was 20 when they died at the END of the Korean Conflict, 1953. So that person was born in 1932 or 1933. Their parents were probably born around 1910. So 106-year-old people were approaching Agolf Twitler?

How do these dipshits at FOX keep a straight face?

[duforsure]

14. That's another indication Putin's winning

After buying trump , McConnell and Ryan to take control of our country , undermine the rule of law where it doesn't apply to them, and to destroy our Democracy. Trump is telling everyone now he wants to be a dictator where he can do as he pleases, and be as corrupt , and brutal as he wants, and he can order people to be criminalized if they oppose him in any way. Are our elections now gone? Will the few republican left in the Senate switch over to the Democrats to take away McConnell's control in the Senate to stop this? Indications are showing putins winning control of our county now. Absolute power will show how brutal both putin and trump are. Its all about corruption and power to corrupt more with.

15. "He points at the White House when he says 'my people' -- I think he's talking about his staff...."

MaybeCooperativeHat Retweeted:

He points at the White House when he says "my people" -- I think he's talking about his staff and KJU's staff. Still a very bad sentiment. Why are KJU's staff so alert to him? Because he might have them killed with anti-aircraft guns if they aren't.

WOW -- Trump says he wants American people to treat him like North Koreans treat totalitarian dictator Kim Jong Un.

"Hey, he's the head of a country, and he's the strong head -- he speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same."

Josh, he's not talking about his staff and you know it. Shame on you.

[Freethinker65]

24. Even his "staff" are not HIS people

They work under him for the US Government. The US taxpayers pay their salary. They are to uphold the constitution and work for the American people.

[Thomas Hurt]

31. that is some desperate apologism...denial?

[redstatebluegirl]

35. And he considers the Attorney General, the DOJ and the FBI to be "my people".

[maxrandb]

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. tRump is beyond caring now what people think. He just wants the public display of affection. . . .nt

[Laurian]

21. Hurry up, Mueller!

We need to get this crazy man out of the Oval Office NOW.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. How did the Fuck & Frobnoz hosts react to his statement?

[Firestorm49]

23. Fascist Pig!!

One of my concerns, and this one is a doozie, folks, is that the reason Republicans are so tongue tied about the unpopularly elected person in the Oval Office, is that there is a much greater conspiracy currently playing out than any of us fully realize, with far more Republicans being involved in total dictatorship than is being reported.
When so many reputable people, both inside and outside government, are saying that our democracy is at serious risk, are we taking them seriously, or are we all going to be clones of North Korea, Russia, or Venezuela?
In all good conscience, how can the GOP, both in Washington and in the states, accept complacency in the face of catastrophe unless the plan is bigger than we thought, and being played out.
Oh well. I am one pissed off individual, but generally not a conspiracy theorist, but this whole situation defies explanation and quite honestly, scares the hell out of me. It should scare the hell out of you too, because after the gauntlet is dropped, we will be defenseless to change it.

[renate]

38. it does make you wonder what Russia found when they hacked the RNC's emails n/t

[SWBTATTReg]

41. Very good point!! It's funny that no one has said anything about the contents of these ...

emails (which I'm sure, knowing how despicable the repugs can be among each other) are full of crap that they (the repugs) would never want to see the light of day.

This is totally opposite of what was in HRC's so called 'email' scandal, which was totally hyped up way overboard.

[marieo1]

25. minngal

And..........yet Fox News still supports him!!

[greymattermom]

26. He should tell people who agree with him to wear certain outfits

So we can see them from afar and stay away, and maybe some businesses will find it against their religion to work for them.

[GusBob]

27. We are in cult territory now

his GOP lapdogs are eating this shit up

[uppityperson]

28. That's not "respect" but fear. FDT

[Paladin]

30. I'm preparing myself to fight for what's left of our democracy.

I suggest that the rest of you do the same. Unless, of course, you're OK with an authoritarian madman and his idiot hordes taking full control of this country. And don't tell me that's not where things stand at this point---we have additional proof of it, every single day.

[dalton99a]

32. Obey, and give him a proper parade

[Stuart G]

33. Puke

[rtracey]

37. yeah

Fuck You Trump, you feckless c.

[Dawson Leery]

39. Deplorables always fear a dictatorship when they are out of power.

Once in power, they dream of dictatorship.

[Snellius]

40. Sieg Heil, mein Fuhrer. Where're our brown shirts?

[A Morpheus Felinae]

42. Should the time ever come

in which someone puts a gun to my head and demands fealty to trump...I'll tell them to pull the trigger. trump and his followers are seditionists and traitors and should be treated as such.
