SWAMP KEEPER or POOP KEEPER? - TRUMP CUDDLES WITH BLUBBER-FACED KIM JONG UN MAKING A FOOL OF HIMSELF...... again!

By cozying up to Kim Jong Un, Trump aims to make the same mistakes FDR did with Stalin


There’s tough negotiating, and then, there’s President Trump.
That he's trying to get North Korea to denuclearize is good. The way he's going about it, however, is where he deserves criticism.
Whichever way this episode shakes out, Trump’s choice to treat the Hermit Kingdom’s murderous tyrant, Kim Jong Un, as a legitimate and even benevolent ruler will leave an indelible stain on America's reputation as a county that prizes liberty above all else.
I understand the president badly wants this nuclear deal. I also understand those who claim he is being diplomatic. But there is a chasm between being diplomatic and showering a cruel tyrant with ludicrous and undeserved praise.
Trump's behavior here is no less shameful than when Franklin Delano Roosevelt sought to humanize Joseph Stalin. FDR and Trump actually have quite a lot in common in the area of sidling up to dictators. In fact, according to historian Gary Kern, FDR embraced Stalin for many of the same reasons that Trump's defenders say the current president is coddling Kim:
To keep the war effort united and to work for postwar democracy, he wanted to please Iosif (“Joseph”) Stalin, whom he liked to call “Uncle Joe.” His primary purpose was to makes friends with a man widely believed to have murdered his wife, liquidated his closest political comrades, and ordered the assassination of Leon Trotsky in Mexico in August 1940.
Compare this to Trump, who this week called Kim "a great personality. He’s a funny guy, he’s very smart, he’s a great negotiator. He loves his people."
The president continued, telling reporters that Kim is “a very talented man.”
“Anybody who takes over a situation like he did at 26 years of age and is able to run it, and run it tough [is very talented],” Trump said, clarifying, “I [didn’t] say it was nice.”
“His country does love him. His people, you see the fervor. They have a great fervor,” the president said.
This isn’t the first time that Trump has gone out of his way to humanize Kim.
In May, following the release of three American hostages from North Korea, the president said, “We want to thank Kim Jong Un, who really was excellent to these three incredible people.”
Earlier, in April, he said that Kim “really has been very open and, I think, very honorable from everything we're seeing.”
The efficacy of cozying up to brutal tyrants aside, there’s the moral issue that the U.S. ought not to give an implicit stamp of approval to brutal murderers. This is to say nothing of the fact that the Trump team chose to largely avoid discussing Kim’s many human rights violations.
We're supposed to be a beacon of freedom and the standard-bearer of liberty.
Let’s try acting like it.


Why North Korea has to hide Kim's poop

Kim Jong Un
Stool analysis of a sample from Kim Jong Un could show the presence of ill-health indicators such as excessive blood cells, unusual PH levels and bile or mucus.
He's staying in one of the world's finest five star hotels, but Kim Jong Un still brought a toilet with him to Singapore. Kim does so because according to one North Korean military defector, the leader's "excretions contain information about his health status so they can’t be left behind."
Sorry, Kim, bringing your toilet to Singapore won't prevent you from leaving behind biological material. Moreover, it's a point of intelligence interest in and of itself why exactly the North Koreans are so concerned about Kim's excrement. What does Kim have to hide?
We don't know of course, but based on his rotund belly and penchant for high quality foreign cuisine, it seems unlikely that Kim suffers from the intestinal parasites that afflict many of his subjects. Yet stool analysis would also show the presence of ill-health indicators such as excessive blood cells, unusual PH levels and bile or mucus. Even if these data points were out of the ordinary, their publication might weaken Kim's credibility as a powerful leader.
That said, Kim's toilet doesn't give him an absolute ability to avoid biological and chemicals measurement and signature intelligence analysis. If they want to, foreign intelligence services could collect this information from Kim in a number of other ways. With physical proximity to Kim, who just went on a public walkabout through Singapore, intelligence officers could measure his breath or sweat. With physical proximity to Kim, they could analyze his body heat signature and gait as an indicator of any physical ailments. Most valuable of all would be collecting any excretions from anything Kim touched or shed (hair folicles, for example). That genetic material could be collected for analysis.
Still, the most interesting concern here is that the North Koreans even employ a toilet for Kim at all. That action has intelligence value of its own in the sense that it illustrates the regime's paranoia and the possibly unstable character of its leader.
