Colchrys or Colchicine will fix it. He may just not be willing to make a few life adjustments.

Yeah, he “inheiritied” his father’s wealth and power which made him lazy, well fed and fat.

His decadent, rich, capitalist lifestyle is doing him in. Runs in the family.

He probably looks in the mirror, all depressed, and says “I’m fat, no one likes me, now I have gout and I feel terrible . . . . . give me the nuclear codes, I’m gonna fire another missile to feel better about myself.”

The little riceball has taken the burdens of chronic obesity off of his starving countrymen & assumed them for himself.

“You fool! When I said `nuke the Chinese’, I meant put the carryout in the microwave!”

How should a North Korean Christian (of which I hear there are quite a number) pray in this case?

Gout is triggered by liquor and hops. If he stuck to wine and Natty Lite, he’d be good.

Picturing Puggsley drinking Natty Lite is my new happy place.

His father used to sing a song entitled: I'M SO RONERY

Kinda obvious...Psalm 109:8

I’ll bet he has more than gout. Gout most likely occurs in people who have high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol. Given his gluttony, alcoholism and sedentary lifestyle, odds are he is much sicker than the government controlled media is saying.
