How are you feeling about Donald Trump as a candidate after his newest endorsement?

SPC Rory J. Mattheisen — Wed, 01 Jun 2016 13:40:27 -0400

Has anyone changed their position on Trump now that North Korea says it is a good idea? There can be no clearer indicator of how un-American you are than to be endorsed by Kim Dong Un.

It's strategic on NK's part. Endorse what you fear because it will create the opposite reaction.

Who knows what the hell NK is thinking. We can speculate, but frankly, much of the rationale at play is so alien, it's hard to know what's right.

Both candidates would have potential upsides and downsides for NK. If I had to guess, Un is just throwing something out there because he knows it's going to get us all worked up trying to figure out what he means..

A few thoughts:
- I am sure that North Korea does not have American best interests in mind when Kim Dong Un says anything let alone a US Presidential endorsement.
- The basic international norm is to not interfere in the internal politics of a sovereign nation. Granted this norm is routinely violated but it is a good rule to follow even for American politicians.
- To write that "there can be no clearer indicator of how un-American you are than to be endorsed by Kim Dong Un" shows a staggering ignorance of how the world works in general and how North Korea operates in particular.

I have not and will not consider these comments of Kim Dong Un as anyway reasonable or logical. He is a global threat and perpetual liar.

What we should be very concerned about is something N. Korea has been allowed to t accomplished under our present weak Commander in Chief. N. Korea has successfully placed two satellites into space that now directly threatened the USA. Korea did so by launching them over the unguarded Southern Hemisphere. This threat has been warned about by numerous organizations including former military leaders and the Heritage Foundation but ignored by the administration. While our present commander-in-chief has failed to protect our country under numerous conditions, it is evident that Trump will NOT follow this same path of continually reducing the power and protection of the United States.

He is an absolute disgrace to our political process and is a great example of why the GOP never should have opened the door to their crazy tent.

I noted another idiotic rant by MAJ Andrew Fishkin, who feels free to comment, but blocks people so they can't respond.

He calls Trump a "narcissistic bully", but refuses to acknowledge that title belongs to Obama. Same for his comment about being a disgrace. This is why Liberals should be barred from holding public office.

It doesn't really matter who wins. A Rothschild once wrote something along the lines of...he who owns the British currency owns the British government and I own the currency... In other words people with money and power have already decided who's going to be president.

Don't believe me? McKinley ran against Theodore Roosevelt during the time of Rockefeller and Carnegie. McKinley was pro monopoly and Roosevelt against it. McKinley was bought into the White House by the monopoly heads.

President Wilson was running when jp Morgan, a Rothschild, and other rich bankers were establishing the "federal" reserve act. He signed that bill shortly after entering office. He was picked by those with money.

Whomever is elected is irrelevant because we aren't the ones electing

Thing is is that I feel that neither of the candidates are going to be good president but if we have to choose one I would prefer Trump. Even though I am opposed to violence and angry behavior I truly and genuinely feel that our society has become a bunch of pansies that whine and complain about everything Trump has a plan and if you can't see it then you need to open your eyes and realize that even though he is "joining" A dangerous man Trump himself in my opinion can run over those big dogs if it comes to that

I believe this is a tactic of NC to make it seem as if Trump will help them, thus get people to swing to HRC. I think Trump has made it plain that he's not going to put up with crap from pretty much anyone. This is why he needs a great VP. (did you notice that the two leading Rep candidates dropped out at about the same time... wonder what they hoping for...)

So.. you have North Korea saying they love Trump, but have Killary saying she loves a KKK member, and the problem you have is with the Trump nod? Wow...
