North Korea Endorses Donald Trump for President

By Tatiana Bautista

To add to Donald Trump’s seemingly endless repertoire of ridiculous media coverage, North Korea has endorsed the likely Republican candidate in the 2016 US Presidential election.

A column that ran in a state-backed mouthpiece in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) called Trump a “prescient presidential candidate," reports Reuters.

The outlet, DPRK Today, also called Trump a 'wise politician,' and believes that he is the ideal candidate for the upcoming 2016 election.
Is that a Trump suit?

Meanwhile, DPRK Today also referred to his presumptive opponent, Hillary Clinton, as 'thick-headed' for her position on setting stricter sanctions upon North Korean’s nuclear weapons program.

Trump recently made it clear that he would be willing to speak with Kim Jong Un himself on the DPRK's nuclear weapon program, which North Korea later dismissed as 'nonsense'. (Ouch). Trump also praised the dictator for the 'amazing' way he handled rivals. Who knows, with all this back-and-forth maybe a bromance à la Dennis Rodman is in store.

Best Friends Forev- or maybe not.

DPRK Today also voiced its support to Trump’s plan of pulling US troops from South Korea until Seoul gives more funding, believing that this will make way for Korean unification.

"It turns out that Trump is not the rough-talking, screwy, ignorant candidate they say he is, but is actually a wise politician and a prescient presidential candidate," wrote the author of the column, Han Yong Muk.

We’re not sure what this means for Trump, now that he has North Korea on his side. If elected, does this mean there will be a Pyongyang Trump Tower in the works?
