I shouldn’t be giggling when a head of state declares a death sentence on another head of state.<\/p>\n

Except that the guy who’s issuing the death sentence is Kim Jong Un, the North Korean dictator\/strongman\/fruitcake. The object of his death sentence? None other than Donald John Trump Sr., the current president of the United States of America.<\/p>\n

My goodness. I’ll be brief with this one.<\/p>\n

Kim didn’t like being called “short and fat” in a tweet flashed around the world by Trump. Except that the president said he “wouldn’t” call Kim “short and fat.” Not ever. Oh, but wait. He did anyway!<\/p>\n

Rodong Sinmun, the North Korea government-run newspaper, wrote in an editorial:\u00a0\u201cThe worst crime for which he can never be pardoned is that he dared [to] malignantly hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership.”<\/p>\n

As if Kim had any “dignity” that could possibly be “malignantly hurt.”<\/p>\n

I don’t know, though, what could be worse. That Kim would issue this bogus “death sentence,” or that the president will be prompted to fire back an idiotic response.<\/p>\n\n
