Several Republican presidential hopefuls on Saturday blasted former US President Donald Trump for his comments praising North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, after the country received a seat on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) executive board.
“Congratulations to Kim Jong Un,” Trump said in a post to his Truth Social account on Friday, while sharing an article about the news.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, former US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis all criticized the former President, who they will be challenging for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. The Hill reported.
“No one should be praising the dictator in North Korea or praising the leader of Russia who has launched an unprovoked war of aggression in Ukraine,” Pence told Fox News on Saturday. “This is a time when we ought to make it clear to the world that we stand for freedom and we stand with those who stand for freedom.”
Pence has not yet officially announced he will seek the 2024 Republican nomination, but is expected to do so next week.
Haley, who has already officially launched her campaign, denounced North Korea’s ascension to the WHO board on Friday, calling it a “total farce.”
“You don’t congratulate a thug,” she added when asked about Trump’s comment. “I mean, let’s keep in mind, this thug has threatened America, has threatened our allies, over and over again.”
“This is not something to play with,” Haley continued. “I mean, he’s a terrible individual. He’s terrible to his people, he’s terrible to our allies in the world, and I don’t think he deserves congratulations.”

Im glad he did. Maybe next Presidency they’ll say he colluded with NK to win the election. Thr government isnt by the people at all
I’m not sure adding a communist dictatorship to an extra legal international body that doesn’t actually do any good is a baby step to anything good.
Meeting with North Korea was one of the triumphs of Trump’s presidency, just as Nixon met with China. Trump tries to understand his opponents in order to succeed in his negotiations. And that means he praises where praise works in his favor. If Trump can overcome stolen elections in 2024, he’ll still want NK’s cooperation.

Well, it is, if you’re talking about a communist dictatorship that does nothing but threaten its neighbors and sucks China’s teat. International but does nothing good is a slight improvement.
How many of you out there would willingly work for Donald Trump?

Trump is not perfect, but I will fight with him. Why, because he has revealed a lot of his heart to us if you ignore the media.

When I greet my doctor in his office, I ask, “how is the world’s best doctor today?”
I contrast that to a battalion commander I worked for in Germany, and at Fort Bliss. His mantra was that "respect is given (due to rank and position), but loyalty must be earned.
There were numerous times he chewed me out. LOL, I was a 1st LT running his supply operations, plenty of opportunities to make mistakes. However, I knew that two minutes after leaving his office, it was forgotten, he held no grudges.
Could I work for Trump? Not likely, I'm done working for people that don't hold themselves responsible for their mistakes, instead blaming others when things aren't going well. I ran into several of those types when I was in the Army.
I endured it by telling myself I had no plans to make the Army a career, so I didn't have to worry about kissing their asses.
I would enjoy working with Donald Trump.
To each his/her own.
In times of a real fight it takes different leaders. It takes gruff, difficult men like Patton at certain points.
Other leadership is needed at different times.
What’s not to congratulate “Rocket Man” for such a victory? Unfortunately this probably won’t work in favor of the WHO’s integrity or approval.
WHO is a corrupt, China-owned morass. But at least they lifted a fat dictator’s self-esteem a little. He got a participation trophy. Why shouldn’t Trump congratulate him.
Why must he?
Because it’ll serve him well when he’s POTUS again, and weaning Little Kim away from China, and it harms nothing.
Who knows? Maybe Donald Trump will get “Rocket Man’s” endorsement. As for “Weaning him away from China” 😂
Great song. Love me some Luther. Thanks. :-)
His rendition is the best I’ve ever heard.
It’s so good. Love the song and the artist.
