Wtf why is he allowed to roam around g20? Why is he even invited? Heā€™s working so hard to make america irrelevant as a global power.

While heā€™s not entirely wrong, heā€™s also ignoring the fact that the border is separating two countries that are literally at war.

I am sure Kim Jong was laughing himself silly!

Now he is thinking: ā€œWhere can I go for vacation?ā€

As a millenial, I completely understand that reference. I hope Iā€™m not old. But I fear itā€™s happening whether I like it or not.

Incidentally, 45ā€™s tweets make a lot more sense if you add LEL or olololooloooolll to the end of them. Try it!

Meh, I was a 70s kid.

Send In The Clowns is much better, but not quite on point. :wink:

Subtext: This is a story of unrequited love between Kim and Trump.

That loud noise you heard was the sound of thousands of intelligence officers at the CIA/NSA/etc banging their heads on the desk when Trump said he ā€œdidnā€™t knowā€ where Kim Jong-un was.

Thereā€™s hundreds of thousands of people and trillions of dollars of infrastructure dedicated to answer questions just like that. All heā€™d have to do is ask.

(Plus, all heā€™d have to do is ask me. When paranoid Kim travels, he only goes by his Bond-villain armored train and its always publicized when he does so. If he was out of the country, even I would know it.)

But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns
Donā€™t bother theyā€™re here

Yeah, I grew up in the 70s and 80s as well, and my parents loved musicals.

And the Twitter diplomacy becomes a PR coup as news outlets see who can suck their own dick the hardest.
