Rapist supporters.

Stand up at attention when a child rapist speaks? No thanks.

Replacing Statue of Liberty with gold plated statue of himself is probably his next project.

Cool fantasy, bro!

TRUMP CAUGHT ON CAMERA: says he wants "his people" to obey him like in North Korea


what a narcissist egotistical maniac

Why do you say "caught"? He freely admits it, it's not a secret. And most of his base agree. One supporter exiting a rally put it succinctly: "If Trump says it, I thinks it." I mean, he calls them his "poorly educated" openly so do you really think being a pedophile impacts them at all? That's just media hyperbole. Need more convincing? How about: "I could shoot someone on the street and they will still support me." All this reveals the contempt he feels for the intelligence of his base while working on ways to put more money into rich pockets. Just has to convince his fans that free healthcare and education is an assault on liberty.

Damn what do the brown and black people do then. We are obviously not "his people."

He didn't actually use the word obey in that clip. He just said Kim speaks and his people sit up at attention and he wants his people to do the same. That's kind of reasonable. One of the constitutionally vested powers in the president is vested with the ability to give the state of the union address in article Ⅱ section 3.[www.annenbergclassroom.org] When the president speaks, people should pay attention and it somewhat seems as if people aren't paying adequate attention to what he says whenever they put words in his mouth that he never spoke.

Just gonna ignore the context of why people pay attention when Kim speaks?

I thought about mentioning it, but when part of my point is that we ought not to putting words in people's mouths it seemed to be hypocritical of me to do so. A statement should at least be internally self-consistent in principle. Not like everybody doesn't know Kim Jong Un is a dictator. That's just one of those things that kind of goes without saying, which is another reason I did not mention it. It is the needless beating of a dead horse.

Moreover, if we are going to read more into the conversation than was said it needs to be noted that the overall broader context of the conversation was also more along the lines of why not invite Kim Jong Un to the white house because he deserves the same amount of respect as any other world leader and has the respect of his people. Not let's make the U.S.A. into North Korea.

There's a bit of a defensive tone to it, as if Kim Jong Un shouldn't be disrespected. I'd be tempted to say that's just Presidential diplomacy, but in Trump's case he throws all kinds of disrespect at Rosie O' Donnell almost everybody, so I can't do that for him.

The context of saying we need to show a dictator respect and that he has the respect of his people is even worse.

I will get on my knees for Trump as long as his sausage is still juicy.

Nah, that's kind of the way the world works unless you want the U.S.A. to rout him out like Saddam Hussein with predictable results. Otherwise you have to take the diplomatic approach to trying to maintain the peace.

Part of the reason Trump can trash talk the other world leaders is that the U.S.A. is on generally good terms with them so y'know,it can be taken as a sort of bad humor and vaguely tolerated, with a healthy amount of disdain. That is not really the case with powers like N.K., China and Russia though.

Even Winston Churchill is said to have had some measure of respect for Hitler.[winstonchurchill.org]

What leader doesn’t?

Trump's Cabinet does sit up and pay attention to him. And things are getting done.

Try being the boss. You want your people to sit up and pay attention.

And everyone has free will in the United States unlike communist North Korea.

Trump won. Relax.
