If there is anything Donald Trump is good at, it’s being super cringe-worthy and awkward. And honestly, no one is safe from it, either. Not even his fellow world leaders. I mean, for God’s sake, he couldn’t even remember to shake the Japanese Prime Minister’s hand at this year’s G20 Summit, ran off the stage at last year’s, and let’s not even get started on the jokes he’s sharing with Putin. Lord knows that love affair is a sight to behold.
But evidently, Putin isn’t the only dictator that Donald wants to get extra close with these days.
Trump is leaving Japan soon and heading out for South Korea, where he would apparently like to have a date with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
Donald took to that beloved Twitter account of his to post what may very well be the single most insane tweet to date — in which he proposed that “Chairman Kim” meet him at the Korean border just to “shake his hand and say hello.”
“After some very important meetings, including my meeting with President Xi of China, I will be leaving Japan for South Korea (with President Moon). While there, if Chairman Kim of North Korea sees this, I would meet him at the Border/DMZ just to shake his hand and say Hello(?)!” Trump’s full tweet read.
Of course, the internet had lots of thoughts on this one:
What’s the word for men who have an unhealthy infatuation with murderous dictators ?

Embarrassing. Begging to shake hands & a hello? Not an action of a strong leader. Not the way to conduct foreign policy. Beyond embarrassing. #ImpeachTrump

Is this Twitter or Tinder?

You’ve offended so many friends. Time to talk to your new lovers. Just don’t have sex with Kim. You are married to a foreigner already.

Did you make him a friendship bracelet, too? Or are you just planning to swap chisme?

We’re watching a love affair between a dictator and a dictator wannabe unfold right before our eyes. We bet he dreams of Putin and Kim every night, hoping to one day grow up and be just like them.
