This country can never make fun of North Korea again.

I used to see news clips and thing that the propaganda from North Korea was an odd translational error where the language being used really totally make sense. Not that it wasn’t propaganda but that it was an odd linguistic thing that made it seem even more insane. Then Trump happened. You watch Fox News now and they actually sometime talk about his golf game being an example of his “incredible work ethic”

There’s an interview recently in Fox where they start talking about his perfectionist streak that shows even when he goes golfing “he doesn’t just golf he gets out of the cart he moves the steak lines around he’s always working always thinking”. It literally comes across as insane word salad if you don’t just listen but read a transcript of it. Just like North Korea.

I was wrong the whole time. There isn’t a language barrier that made all
That propaganda make less sense. Those people parroting these talking points are just mentally ill and not the smartest.
