North Korean state media offers support for ‘wise politician’ Donald Trump
Much as Hitler and Mussolini were cheered by the original America Firsters.
State outlet DPRK Today published an editorial Tuesday that called the business mogul a "wise politician" and said he could be good for North Korea.
“There are many positive aspects to Trump’s ‘inflammatory policies,' ” the author of the article wrote, according to a translation from NK News.
“Trump said he will not get involved in the war between the South and the North, isn’t this fortunate from North Korea’s perspective?”
. . . .
It's an unusual change in tone for North Korean state media, which has largely avoided talking about the U.S. campaign directly.
The article claims to have been written by a guest contributor — Han Yong Mook, who is introduced as a Chinese North Korea scholar — but the fact that it was published by a notoriously patriotic outlet may well suggest that the ideas contained within it are likely to hold serious sway in Pyongyang.
Trump has made several recent comments about U.S. policy toward the Korean Peninsula.
In an interview with The Washington Post's editorial board in March, he had argued that the U.S. defense deal with South Korea was not fair, adding, "We're reimbursed a fraction of what this is all costing."
In a subsequent interview with the New York Times, Trump had suggested that he would withdraw U.S. troops from South Korea if elected, noting that Seoul may need to build its own nuclear weapons to protect itself.
Trump then told Reuters in May that he would be willing to speak to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
"I would speak to him, I would have no problem speaking to him," he said.
The left is having fun with this.
Tyranny loves company. North Korea endorses Trump.
What they aren't telling you is that Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson's anti-globalism is just as bad (so is Ron Paul's and so is Rand Paul's) and Green Party candidate Jill Stein's is much, much worse.
How seriously can we take leftist attacks on Il Duce for a dangerous anti-globalism that mirrors their own, or is less extreme and so less dangerous?
