There is something particularly abhorrent about a political leader who disparages his fellow citizens on foreign soil and takes the side of murderous tyrants over American patriots. But that is precisely what Donald Trump has been doing while on his golf and sumo junket to Japan. He explicitly lashed out<\/a><\/strong> at his political foes in a way that borders on disloyalty and even betrayal.<\/p>\n

\"Joe
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

When Trump landed in Tokyo, he almost immediately launched a hostile assault on Joe Biden, one of his potential opponents for president in 2020. In doing so he gleefully took sides with the America-hating North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un. Trump tweeted<\/a><\/strong> that he “smiled when [Kim] called Swampman Joe Biden a low IQ individual.”<\/em> Let’s set aside the fact that this exchange almost certainly never happened. It’s even worse if Trump invented it in his own diseased mind.<\/p>\n

Trump later doubled down on these vile insults with comments during a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. He told the world’s media<\/a><\/strong> that “I don\u2019t take sides as to who I\u2019m in favor of and who I\u2019m not, but I can tell you that Joe Biden was a disaster.”<\/em> Notice that he contradicted himself in the space of a single sentence by claiming to not take sides, and then taking sides against Biden.<\/p>\n

Then on Monday morning – Memorial Day – Trump tainted the holiday of reverence for departed patriots by once again raising the issue of his preference for Kim over Biden. This time he couched his animus in a tweet that attempted to celebrate some imaginary victory over what he routinely refers to as the “Fake News.”<\/em><\/p>\n

.@ianbremmer<\/a> now admits that he MADE UP \u201ca completely ludicrous quote,\u201d attributing it to me. This is what\u2019s going on in the age of Fake News. People think they can say anything and get away with it. Really, the libel laws should be changed to hold Fake News Media accountable!<\/p>\n
