Trump is now featured on North Korean commemorative stamps

President Trump has left his mark on North Korea. Literally.

In June, North Korea released a set of stamps commemorating the one-year anniversary of the Singapore summit, when Trump met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in an attempt to de-escalate tensions between the two countries, as well as to nudge North Korea toward the process of denuclearization. The stamps, which were originally reported by Kyodo News, are reportedly on sale in Pyongyang and show things like Trump and Kim shaking hands or the two leaders signing a joint agreement after the meeting.

The stamps were apparently a hit, because more are on their way. The next round will reportedly center on Trump's brief but historic visit to the Korean Demilitarized Zone in June.

Hanoi likely won't get the same appreciation, though, Quartz reports, considering that meeting didn't end on the best terms, after Trump walked away abruptly.

Impeach him!!!

[Does so]

Countries make money selling postage stamps.

Featuring a US President would tend to multiply the profit.

(So don't buy them).

These are the strangest of times, to my knowledge.

Yep! No doubt about it... Traitor in the eyes of the demoncrat/communist party...

Particularly since every war, but two (Spanish American and Iraq), the U.S. has been dragged into via purpose or ignorance of events has been the principal accomplishment of the demoncrat party and it's marxist off-shoots...

Even those two were engineered by closet socialists...

Those stamps would sell like hot cakes if they could be bought here.

[Cold Heart]

Not on e-bay, yet.

[gaijin]

Oh, I get it.

So now we OWE them something, right..?

[wally_bert]

The dims would come up with some way to have them confiscated and the buyers thrown in jail.

Having an NK Trump stamp would be on par with big time drug dealing. The dims love illegal drugs though.

[wally_bert]

If the commie dims could, they would nuke NK for this.

When I was a pup and a stamp collector, I was totally astonished by the number of countries that issued stamps in honor of JFK following his assassination.

I credit that hobby for a rapid education in the subject of political geography.

I credit my stamp collecting as a kid for learning much about the world.

It’s really a great hobby, that seems has gone the way of the Dodo Bird.

Also Apollo 11. I remember one country in Africa, issued the best stamps commemorating Apollo 11.

I still have my old H.E. Harris stamp albums around here somewhere.

Yes, has an odd feel to it...

There are some places semi illicit in fact around Tokyo where I suppose one could probably buy that nonsense. Over on Hakusan Dori or in Asakusa, etc
Not that one would want to have any of one’s hard earned cash head for ‘Office 39’ in Pyongyang and into the DPRK coffers —plus its probably a violation of trading with enemy act, such as we have on Cuban goods.

[AmericanInTokyo]

OTOH, You’d have to put a loaded Tokarev to my temple to get me to buy anything from that dictatorship and have any of my personal funds whatsoever go to those murderers and frikking bald face liars. ;-)

Now that's a name I haven't heard in years!

Are they still around?
