It’s frankly been no secret that disgraced former President Donald Trump has long had more love, adoration, and respect for some of the most heinous, violent, and unhinged dictators this world has to offer than he ever did or will for the country he took an oath to protect and serve. However, even with that disturbing knowledge, the scandal-ridden ex-president of the United States still often says things that truly make our stomachs churn and our skin crawl.
Recently, Trump openly declared that he was proud to have put his trust in the likes of Russian dictator and murderer Vladimir Putin, over the “intelligence lowlifes” and “slime” in America, during his presidential administration. Frankly, one would think he couldn’t have sunk much lower than that sickening declaration.
But he can, and he has.
In an unhinged, late-night rant posted to his struggling Truth Social platform, Donald Trump proudly jumped to the defense of heinous North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, while simultaneously launching a disgusting attack against a U.S.-South Korea joint military exercise that took place just one day after the communist state launched a test missile that landed between the Korean peninsula and Japan.

To take the matter from bad to worse, Trump not only pounced to Jong-un’s defense in the controversy but openly and proudly boasted of his close relationship with the dictator, whom he once claimed to have “fell in love” with.
“Kim Jung Un of North Korea, who I got to know and got along with very well during my years as President, is not happy with the U.S. and South Korea doing big training and air exercises together,” Trump wrote in the nauseating Truth Social post. “He feels threatened. Even I would constantly complain that South Korea pays us very little to do these extremely expensive and provocative drills. It’s really ridiculous. We have 35,000 in jeopardy soldiers there, I had a deal for full payment to us, $Billions, and Biden gave it away. Such a shame!!!”
Trump’s modern-day love and admiration for the North Korean tyrant is made worse when coupled with remarks he made in 2018 while serving as the active President of the United States when he bragged about his “great relationship” with Jong-un, with whom he said he “fell in love.”
During a 2018 West Virginia rally, Trump raised the topic of a summit he had attended with the dictator earlier that year in Singapore and proudly bragged to his crowd of supporters, “I was really being tough and so was he. And we’d go back and forth, and then we fell in love, ok? No, really. He wrote beautiful letters, and they’re great letters. We fell in love.”
Frankly, I don’t have to spell out for you the inconceivable number of human rights violations that have been and continue to be perpetrated by Kim Jon-un. But rest assured, he and Donald Trump are in love.
