Amazing you how you continue to rationalize this POtuS's words. He made a direct comparison to the people of NK to the people of USA.
"(Kim Jong Un)" speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same."

Why? Because I have the ability to be rational?
Trump wasn’t witness to the people of NK standing at attention. He was however witness to Kim’s circle and advisors standing at attention.
That’s a fair criticism.
If NK doesn’t denuclearize and Trump still has nice things to say about Kim, then Trump becomes the problem. I want results and he has another 2.5 years to get them.
Your first instinct it to say everyone misunderstood POtuS. To your credit, you did look at things a little more rationally after the post of yours that I commented on. I'd say that if you are defending the POS, you probably aren't rational though.
Trump's attitude towards someone changes in a heartbeat based on if you are playing nice with him at the moment. Kim is playing nice with him so Trump is full of love for a murderous dictator. Later when Trump finds out that Kim's keeping his nukes he might start calling him Rocketman again.
No. My first instinct was to ask everyone a clarifying question. You clarified. Thanks.
Trumo just cannot get out of his own way. He is such a moron.
He envies Kim and said so. He is a dictator wannabe. How anyone can misunderstand him is beyond me.
WTH is happening to people who have grown up in this country and have come to this? This is not putting events together and coming up with a conclusion. This is coming directly out of his mouth in response to reporters. "I want the same for my people"
Which doesn't make it any better for Trump. It shows he either is unaware of what happens to people around Kim if they disappoint him (they die or disappear) or Trump understands this and is celebrating the fact. Take your pick.
Trump is an egomaniacal dipshit and he clearly would love nothing more than to have an American dictatorship where he's in charge.
I tend to think he was referring to staff, but you are correct that it doesn't make it that much better. He is normalizing KJU. Just after that he was talking about how he fired at least 3 generals and then said at least fired them. He's joking that Kim probabky murdered his perceived opponents. That's not great.
The White House is also known as "the Peoples House", so you could argue he meant "my people" to mean the American people if he gestured toward the White House, but Trump is way too stupid to know that or form a thought that deep.
I suppose you could, but you’re kind of getting into crazy girlfriend thinking territory.
Yeah... Maybe next time you should nominate someone better than Hillary Clinton. Or not have her opponent be Bernie Sanders.
Those are some good ideas. You are just as much to blame for a Trump presidency as Trump supporters.
You continue to blame the fact that Hilary was nominated. Played a part but trump beat 16 Republicans to get the nomination. He truly is the Republican Party.
Come on now. Republicans had no choice but to vote for Trump over 16 other more qualified candidates. This is all Hilliary's fault.
I'm just stretching for an explanation to confirm my bias against someone I don't like, I thought that was how this board worked.
So he says "I want the same for my people." That's some clever shit right there.
I don't think so either - Trump actually admired the Chinese government's show of strength and crackdown at Tiananmen Square!
"Donald Trump still thinks the Chinese government showed “strength” when they killed more than 200 people to crush pro-democracy student protests in 1989 — but he's not saying he agrees with what the regime did.
“That doesn’t mean I was endorsing that,” Trump said. “I said that was a strong, powerful government. They kept down the riot, it was a horrible thing.”
Trump told Playboy in a 1990 interview: "When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak."

I told you yesterday the part that was missing. Garry filled it in for us.
I'll give you that there should have been better Democrats. But that doesn't excuse the people who continue to support him.
After watching the video, I would agree that he seemed to be referring to the White House. With that said it's still disturbing and he's not the kind of guy that would stop there. His personality is one where he'd want everyone in the U.S. to stand up and solute him. He has a power issue where he feels the need to be "strong". This standing at attention for him goes along with his idea months ago about having a military parade. He's officially now competing with Un and Trump is a little upset that he doesn't have what Un has for "loyalty".
