Imagine going through life LOOKING for ways to spread outrage …
Granted, if you’re a seriously biased talking head in the age of Trump, you’re going to hear what you want to hear, like ThinkProgress editor and founder, Judd Legum.
Trump says he wants people to treat him like North Koreans treat Kim Jung Un.
Really. pic.twitter.com/C0K7awpMIV

Wow, that looks bad.
Afterwards he then coyly refers to the fact that Kim Jung Un executed his political rivals.
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) June 15, 2018
No way.
Trump later was asked about this and claims it was "sarcasm." You can watch the video and judge for yourself. It's not the first time Trump effusively praised Kim Jung Un's leadership and toughness.
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) June 15, 2018
Well, clearly Trump sees himself as a mini-Kim Jong Un.
Just call him Trump Jong Un? *eye roll*
Or maybe was talking about the people who work for him and making a joke?
So, in watching video, when Trump refers to Kim's "people" he seems to be referring to govt staff/generals, etc. Because when Trump says he wants his people to do same, he points to the WH behind him…1/ https://t.co/QU3DsK2zgI

Oh, yeah, that.
…Now, there are still some potential problems w/ Trump's comments. Kim's subordinates most show fealty to Kim – there is no freedom of dissent or a Constitution they are pledged to uphold, so it's either bow to Kim or go to the gulags…2/
— David M. Drucker (@DavidMDrucker) June 15, 2018
Fair.
…Although all president's want/need loyalty & in fact it's customary to stand when the president enters the room, etc, a greater loyalty to the Constitution is understood to take precedence. And it's unclear that POTUS appreciates this feature of our system…3/
— David M. Drucker (@DavidMDrucker) June 15, 2018
No one is the least bit surprised that Trump of all presidents wants loyalty from the people who work for him, right?
Not necessarily a great character trait but not literally Kim Jong Un.
And kudos to Drucker for not jumping on the ‘TRUMP WANTS TO BE AN EVIL DICTATOR WE KNEW IT’ train like the rest of the media.
These people have no sense of humor and can only engage in sarcasm, they can't recognize it. #Pathetic https://t.co/2lkPny8Vt0

They’re RESISTING, man, it’s hard to keep your sense of humor when you’re buried up to your neck in pink vagina hats and glitter glue. Then again, it’s not like these people ever had a sense of humor, to begin with, but still …
At the end of the day, Trump says a lot of stupid stuff, and you’d think by now the Left would understand you have to take most things with a grain of salt. But if they did that then they’d have so little to scream about every day, right?
Blue wave and stuff!
