North Korean media praises Donald Trump


Donald Trump got an endorsement he may not want — North Korea’s state media.

An editorial in DPRK Today praised Trump, calling him a “wise politician,” according to NK News.

“In my personal opinion, there are many positive aspects to the Trump’s ‘inflammatory policies,'” wrote Chinese North Korean scholar Han Yong Mook.

Some of the positive aspects the piece cited are Trump’s willingness to engage in direct talks with North Korea’s dictator, Kim Jong Un, and his threat to pull out U.S. troops from South Korea if the country didn’t pay more.

"Yes do it, now … Who knew that the slogan ‘Yankee Go Home’ would come true like this? The day when the ‘Yankee Go Home’ slogan becomes real would be the day of Korean Unification," the article says.

The article also called former secretary of State Hillary Clinton “dull Hillary” and slammed her Korean peninsula policy.

“The president that U.S. citizens must vote for is not that dull Hillary – who claimed to adapt the Iranian model to resolve nuclear issues on the Korean Peninsula – but Trump, who spoke of holding direct conversation with North Korea.”
