The ineptitude of Donald Trump just keeps on giving. This time comes the near-horrendous tale of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and Air Force One.
Politics
After a one-time bitter exchange of insults including “Rocket Man” and other low-level hits, Donald Trump once bragged to the world that he and Kim Jong Un had “fallen in love.” Believing his own self-aggrandizing claims that he was so charming he could wrap the North Korean leader around his finger and make him do whatever he wanted, new reports now indicate Trump nearly made a very fatal national security misstep.
According to multiple news reports, Trump once offered Kim Jong Un a ride on the official presidential jet. More specifically, Trump offered to fly Mr. Kim and all of his aides home from their Vietnam summit to North Korea so that he could “get home faster.”
Fortunately, Mr. Kim saved America and saved the day by declining the invitation. However, imagine the horrors if Kim and his North Korean spies were handed the keys to the official presidential military jet and given free rein to make themselves at home and leave bugging devices in every available nook and cranny they could find.

“President Trump offered Kim a lift home on Air Force One. The president knew that Kim had arrived on a multi-day train ride through China into Hanoi and the president said: ‘I can get you home in two hours if you want.’ Kim declined.” – The BBC

Thank goodness adults have returned to running The White House and the US government.
I bet there are a whole lot of stories where this clown almost did something stupid. We are going to hear more stories like this watch.
