(FEE) — Last Friday, President Trump announced a new wave of sanctions against North Korea in an attempt to curtail the smuggling that goes on between the hermit state and its neighbors, China and Russia. This comes as part of Trump’s ‘Maximum Pressure’ campaign, espoused by his daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump to the South […]
(TIM) — The Russian envoy to North Korea warned President Trump not to place any further sanctions against North Korea or Kim Jong-un surrounding “supplies of oil”.

Bender, Peter Nicholas and Louise Radnofsky of the Wall Street Journal for an interview that went on and on and on, mostly pointlessly.

-by NoahThe above clip, from The President Show, is satire, but the best satire has much more than a grain of truth to it. As you begin to watch it, it’s all too real. Such are the words and behavior of the 45th president of the United States. He lives in his own world, his own reality, and he’s dragging us down with it.History is filled with examples of lunatic heads of state.
