Twitter Reacts to Trump Praising “the Boss” Kim Jong Un
Trump continues to praise dictators, autocrats, and terrorists
Twitter reacted to an uncovered clip of Trump praising North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong Un while speaking to his Truth Social investors and influencers at his Mar-a-Lago home. Trump called Kim Jong Un, “the boss,” and praised him as “a warrior,” “a tough guy,” and “a smart guy.”
Author Ruth Ben-Gait, who writes about fascism, authoritarians, propoganda, and democracy, commented:
“He admires NK because it is a criminal entity masquerading as a government. Cybercrime is a main state activity.”
Journalist Victoria Brownsworth noted that “Kim Jong Un starves his own people.”
Twitter user Sgt. Joker said:
“The Leader of the @GOP adores Kim Jong Un. That’s how far the Republican Party has descended into insanity.”
Twitter account Spiro’s Ghost remarked that such rhetoric would have been disqualifying for a Republican candidate to say.
Others pointed out that Trump has a history of praising dictators. Trump has indicated he wants to be one himself and his comments are part of his pattern praising authoritarians and terrorists who murder their political opponents and put their enemies in camps. This is the GOP’s presumptive nominee.
