Trump says he wants "my people" to sit at attention for him like people do for Kim Jong Un
CBS "News" ^ | June 15, 2018 | By KATHRYN WATSON

President Trump declared in a spur-of-the-moment interview with "Fox and Friends" Friday morning that he wants people to sit at attention for him like they do for North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

Kim stands accused of leading a murderous regime that starves its own people. But Mr. Trump has heaped praise on Kim since meeting with him in Singapore, saying repeatedly that the two have "good chemistry."

"Hey, he is the head of a country and I mean he is the strong head," Mr. Trump told Fox News' Steve Doocy on the White House lawn Friday. "Don't let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same."

Pressed by a reporter about those remarks moments later, Mr. Trump said he was "kidding."

"I'm kidding, you don't understand sarcasm," the president said.

The spur-of-the-moment White House lawn interview was, in the memory of those present, unprecedented.

If I recall correctly, Fox News moved sharply left after Rupert Murdoch got his hand slapped in Britain for some reason I cannot recall anymore. I forget why he got into trouble, but Britain dropped whatever prosecution or sanctions tey threatened him with, and in exchange Itisobvious he moved FoxNews way to the left. It was patently obious, like somebody flipped a switch. fox News has never been conservative since, and continue to add more liberal hosts.

That sai, Fox News is STILL one of the the only places onTV where you can get any conservative news or opinion, although One America News does a great job of it too. OAN has many more conservative news stories, since Fos News no longer has any news except for Bret Baier’s hour. Fox News is now almost exclusively a tabloid opinion network. One America News gives you actual news,not opinion.

...most fun and entertaining president in history...

Yep. When Trump told the press in Singapore that the North Korean beaches were the perfect place for condos, I literally laughed out loud!

Here’s the whole presser, it’s amazing how disruptive the reporters are. Unbelievably disrespectful!
