    The only friend Donald Trump ever had was Jeffrey Epstein.

    As they should be. Now Trump gets a little taste of the finding out portion of his fuck around and find out strategies. Not that it will ever even register in his brain whatsoever.

      How? SK needs the US for protection against China, doesn’t it? What other choices do they have? I’m asking genuinely. I always thought they bet on their relationship with the US.

        SK government can kiss Trump’s ass as much they want, they will have trouble convincing private companies to invest in the US (which is a “problem” EU countries are also having in appeasing Trump), and even more trouble finding people dumb enough to go into the US to setup any of that investment.

        How what? Are you trying to say that you feel their outrage is not justified, or that they should not be expressing it?

    And it should be a warning to every other country in the world. We basically treat foreigners the same as Russia these days and it’s fucking disgusting. If you’re not an English speaking american white Christian male you should probably stay away.

        Ya, isn’t it great? Pity for all the mom and pop shops closing as a result, though. Maybe don’t vote in a rapist fascist pedophile the next time because of some war half a world away.
