Watch: President Trump Says He Wants Americans to Obey Him Like North Koreans Obey Kim Jong-un

Well, I knew it was probably sarcasm and/or humor when I first heard CNN report it. And everyone on here, even those acting the most outraged and affronted, also knew it was humor and/or sarcasm. That does not change the fact that it wasn’t a very bright thing for the President to say for any reason. If he doesn’t understand by now that he’s not going to get a pass from the media for any of his controversial utterances, then I’m not sure he’ll ever understand it.

SPC Erich Guenther - Yes he tends to retreat to "it was sarcasm" defense every time someone asks for him to clarify a statement he made. He also said in an interview with Bret Baier when asked "Is Kim a killer?" and Trump responded "no, he's a tough guy." I guess that was sarcasm as well.

MAJ James Woods - He has to be careful what he says at this point in the negotiations in my view. NK is bipolar at best when it comes to external comments people make about the regime. So I can understand why he is soft peddling. George Bush did the same when the Wall fell. He could have really stuck it to the Soviets and did a victory lap during that event but he kept his mouth closed for the most part and was really cautious what he said. We'll see what he says after North Korea collapses. I think right now he is trying to avoid another multi-Trillion Dollar War.

SPC Erich Guenther - NK is bipolar? Yeah so is the Trump Admin. Can't stick to one talking point. We had two major bargaining chips in negotiations and Trump exposed both of them in a naïve way in return for what....continued talks?
Imagine if we had actually demanded something for ordering a cessation on joint military exercises like an actual IAEA Inspection Team to enter the country and verify certain claims by N. Korea. I get it. He's 'soft peddling' after months of talking like a tough guy, big dog, that is tougher than all his predecessors. Flip flop much.

He is a lot smarter than the Left thinks and he is using that to his advantage. Pretty sure this comment was deliberate sarcasm to increase coverage so he can claim victimhood later............watch. The far left is helping Trump get re-elected and they are completely oblivious they are doing so.

SPC Erich Guenther - I don't agree he's very smart--I think he's just egotistical and cunning and very "unleaderly". I believe smart people listen to others when they aren't the expert--and no one can be an expert in everything. However, I do definitely agree that the left is helping him get re-elected. They need a message and a leader--and they have neither. I don't see either one emerging right now. It's sad to me because I believe the country needs at least 2 parties with different but valid ideologies to represent everyone. But they certainly are at the lowest point they've been since I've been paying attention.
