“I met him once. He was the kind of dumb you are when you don’t know the language. But he knew the language.”

The world communist media can build any POS to a “world leader” to the adoring dumb masses.

Case in point, 0b0z0 got the Nobel Peace price by achieving nothing on similar world communist media drumbeat. On the contrary, he killed a lot of civilians by expanding what he’s most fascinated by, drone strikes.
