During a recent podcast interview, Donald Trump gushed about Kim Jong-Un and discussed his relationship with the dictator.
When Trump talks about Un, he acts as if the North Korean rose to power on the strength of his intelligence and leadership abilities. But like Trump, Un was born into a life of splendor and privilege. His people don't follow him because they believe in him, they follow him because they are forced too.
The topic of Un came up when Trump was speaking to podcaster Adin Ross. The former President said of Un:
"I got to know him very well, and I got along with him great," he explained. "He's very strong. He's the absolute leader. You know, a lot of people say, oh, maybe he's not the leader. He's the absolute. When he's around, his people are standing up at attention."
Again, Trump was effusive in his praise for the way Un controls his populace, saying, "He's a real power. I think he's upset that I'm not there [in the White House]."
The podcaster then asked what Kim Jong-Un must think of Kamala Harris. Trump responded, "He doesn't know her, but he forms opinions, and he doesn't like her. And he thought that Biden was a stupid man, a very stupid man. He would say that," Trump added. "But I say the same thing. So at least we agree on something."
