      Trump just said he wants the American people to act like the North Koreans. “He’s the stronghead,” he said of Kim. “He speaks and his people sit up and [pay] attention. I want my people to do the same.” No follow-up question on that

      Trump tells reporters he was joking on this. “I was kidding. You don't understand sarcasm." He was also asked to reconcile statement that Kim “loves” his people yet still murders them. “I can't speak to that ... I can only speak to the fact that we signed an incredible agreement”

          I don't believe for a second he was kidding but if he actually were joking and his jokes are always misunderstood then maybe he should STOP JOKING ABOUT WANTING TO BECOME A DICTATOR!! Way too many examples of this for comfort.

          Joking my ass! he said what he wants and then realized the words actually came out of his mouth and didn't stay in his tiny tiny brain. I'm taking that as a threat that if We The People don't bow down to him there will be consequences especially after @GOPChairwoman threat tweet

          @realDonaldTrump is not funny...he doesn't and can't tell jokes. Trying to backpeddle from these types of telling statements shows his inability to reason

          That's not what sarcasm is. It's perfectly consistent with the rest of his statement.

          Who cares? He is admiring the respect that someone has gotten from executing dissenters. Right? THAT is the point.

          He wasn't joking. He was sending out a trial balloon for the base. Complete dog whistle to see just how much they love authoritarianism.
