Topic	Kim Jong Un: Donald Trump is a "Mentally deranged gangster"
Zeus 09/22/17 4:00:26 AM #25:	darkknight109 posted... Zeus posted... darkknight109 posted... How did we reach the point where a fucking North Korean dictator manages to put together a more statesmanlike speech than the President of the fucking United States? Not saying that Kim is more of a statesman than Trump - Trump may be bad but he's nowhere near that bad - but at least Kim's speech sounded like something a country's leader would actually say. The "proper" police strike once again after dropping their monocle! And there's nothing "statesmanlike" in calling somebody a "mentally deranged gangster" or, for that matter, any number of equally bad insults hurled by former US presidents and NK leaders. Didn't say there was. That said, Kim managed to avoid making himself look like a Saturday morning cartoon villain (impressive on its own, given that he does so with regular frequency), and I can't say the same about Trump with his cringe-tastic "Rocket Man" nickname. Kim essentially won by default. Don't be hating. Rocket Man is actually a pretty clever way to demean Kim and turn him into a joke. It's much more effective than using trite insults like "mentally deranged" or "gangster." You can directly compare it to Obama's attempts to relabel ISIS to ridicule the group except, you know, he picked something less colorful so it never caught on. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:887065008] in Kim Jong U...
