Donald Trump Blasted for Calling Kim Jong Un ‘Pretty Smart Cookie’

President Donald Trump said during a national television appearance that Kim Jong Un, despotic North Korean leader, seemed a “pretty smart cookie.”

And for that, the media has decided, he must pay.

President Donald Trump remarked how Kim Jong Un was “pretty smart.” So the media, in all its anti-Trump glory, decided he must be praising the leader.

The left is going nuts over the comment, trying to paint Trump as cheerleader for Kim — when all he was doing was summing the characteristics of an enemy, as all good military strategists do.

This, from the Telegraph — a headline that reads “Donald Trump praises North Korean leader as a ‘smart cookie.'”

Really? Was he really praising Kim?

Or was he just speaking of the traits of an enemy — like a pro-con run-down and recognition of what America’s dealing with?

The mainstream media just can’t help itself, though, jumping on every occasion it can find to cut down Trump.

Here’s the backstory, from The Hill:

“President Trump during an interview that aired Sunday said he thinks North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is a “pretty smart cookie.”

“During an interview that aired on CBS’s ‘Face The Nation,’ the president was asked what he makes of Kim.

“Trump said the North Korean leader was a young man when he took over power, adding that he is “dealing with obviously very tough people, in particular the generals and others.”

“‘And at a very young age, he was able to assume power. A lot of people, I’m sure, tried to take that power away, whether it was his uncle or anybody else,’ Trump said.

“‘And he was able to do it. So obviously, he’s a pretty smart cookie.’

“But Trump said the U.S. cannot let what’s been going on for a long time in North Korea continue.

“‘Frankly, this should’ve been done and taken care of by the Obama administration,’ he said.

“‘Should’ve been taken care of by the Bush administration. Should’ve been taken care of by Clinton.'”

Exactly.

Left/Liberal corrupt media will use every half truth to smear trump to brainwash public against him.

In America we have Dems including Obama who have not only denied refugees status to christians from middle east who are real refugee but even have deported christians back to ISIS territory to be slaughtered by ISIS http://tinyurl.com/mtc3xch

At least Trump spoke up for them. If the Left/ liberal corrupt judges .media and politicians stop throwing spanner in the works Trump would stop jihadi immigration and allow christians , the real refugees from middle east and pakistan/Bangladesh etc

Liberals will find anything to smear Trump with, and I’m sure Trump knew it when he made that remark. No doubt it will be just a matter of time before he’s accused of admiring Kim Jong-un! Possibly graduating into a “collusion with North Korea.”

Well, Trump could say he expects the sun to set in the west and he’d be insulted for it in the media.

Having said that, this particular comment was not very smart.

I’m not sure whether “this particular comment” was meant to be your post or mine. However, it really doesn’t matter because Trump has become an obsession with liberals. They are liable to say or do anything against him no matter how ludicrous they make themselves appear.

“This particular comment” refers to Trump’s remark. At least it appears so, although the president may have had good reason to make it.

You’re right of course, about the media, but they seem impervious to self-analysis – to what I would consider a more nuanced perspective.

In another words – humility, which they insist is lacking in the despised Mr.Trump, is entirely absent in them; and they grow more self-congratulatory with each insult they hurl.

To stay alive the cauldron of corruption and violence that is Stalinist North Korea, he would have to be smart. Rather like being accused of racism for calling a black person “black”. It is so pathetically petty, incorrect and ignorant that is is indicative of the lack of intelligence in the left who lie at the drop of a hat, then believe their own lies. Unfortunately I cannot pity traitors.

Liberals leaping at any chance to slam Pres. Trump. As far as Family Dictator for Life, Kim Jung-Un is smart. He has killed of many of his fathers top Generals. Purged or imprisoned many in top Communist Party positions who were seen as loyal to his father. Killed his half brother who was seen a very remote but possible successor to Kim Jung-Un. Heck he even had civilians arrested and imprisoned for “not crying loudly enough” at the funeral of his father.

Considering that the lame stream media are a bunch of “pretty dumb fvucks” what else can be expected from the increasingly retarded left?

This is a switch for the leftist liberal media in that they did not jump all over Trump for using the word “cookie” when talking about an obese “Lil’ Kim”. He is so fat he walks with a limp while the bulk of the population starves. BTW, have you noticed “Lil’ Kim” has little hands?

Is there anything that Trump isn’t criticized over? Kim Jon Un outsmarted Obama! Of course how smart do you have to be to take on a coward?
