North Korea Joins The Rest Of The World In Mocking And Insulting Trump

Josh Smith, a Reuters senior correspondent who covers North and South Korea, shared KCNA’s translation of a North Korean official’s comments on Trump, and yes, the official did call President Trump a dotard.

“If any language and expressions stoking the atmosphere of confrontation are used once again on purpose at a crucial moment as now, that must really be diagnosed as the relapse of the dotage of a dotard.”

Breaking that down, dotage is “the period of life in which a person is old and weak.”

And dotard, “an old person, especially one who has become physically weak or whose mental faculties have declined.”

So the North Korean official is saying the President of the United States is physically old and weak and his mental faculties have declined. This could be called trolling, especially given the ego of this particular president, but it is also a fair statement based on Trump’s behavior – and that is the part that is alarming.

While North Korea’s threats shouldn’t be taken on face value, they are still serious — as was pointed out by an NK News opinion piece.

Meanwhile, Republicans are trying to convince the country that Trump is business as usual and Democrats are fighting a partisan war against him because they’re mad that they lost the election.

The reality is that not only did Trump not win that election fairly, it would be fair to say he stole it by cheating with a hostile foreign enemy. And yeah, Democrats aren’t pleased about losing an election that their candidate won by almost 3 million popular votes to an incompetent, lazy fraud who is using the office to enrich himself, but Donald Trump is a danger to this country.

Donald Trump is a threat to our national security, not only when he insults other leaders with his usual childish nicknames, but when he conducts national security meetings without following security protocol and walks away from important world meetings because he’s being a child after being laughed at for behaving like a child.

But most importantly, when Trump tries to bribe foreign countries into helping him cheat in 2020, he is a clear and present danger to our national security. And this is why Speaker Nancy Pelosi instructed the House Judiciary to draft articles of impeachment against this disgraceful pretender to an imaginary throne.
