Trump is making a very big deal right now about a very little dictator in North Korea. named Kim Jong Un. The reclusive leader of North Korea\u00a0has been thrust into the national spotlight in a way that he has never\u00a0been before. During the Presidential campaign\u00a0Donald Trump promised to put America first, but ever since he took up residence at the White House he has turned his attention to faraway places and faraway countries in the Middle East and the South China Sea. \u00a0Instead of putting America first like he said he was going to\u00a0do\u00a0during the campaign,\u00a0President Trump\u00a0is putting other countries\u00a0like Syria first, and dealing with the problem posed by North Korea first, way ahead of and far away from America\u2026 He has put both of these countries first,\u00a0before addressing the problems right here in our own country.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile back here in America\u00a0the Trump Administration\u2019s top priority seems to be addressing the Congressional hearings into fake allegations of Russian interference in our\u00a0election, and the more real problem of\u00a0President Obama\u2019s\u00a0abuse of Presidential \u00a0power in surveilling members of the Trump campaign staff and the Trump transition team. Not much else is actually getting done here at home to make America great again&#8230; and these Congressional investigations are doing nothing but wasting the\u00a0taxpayer&#8217;s money.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>President Trump\u00a0has\u00a0allowed\u00a0his travel ban\u00a0to be blocked by\u00a0some low level\u00a0district court judge instead of implementing\u00a0the\u00a0travel ban\u00a0and telling the judge to\u00a0pound sand while\u00a0we all wait for\u00a0the legality of\u00a0the ban to be ultimately\u00a0upheld by the United States Supreme Court.\u2026\u00a0 Why should the whole country wait for this security measure to be implemented\u00a0until the\u00a0question is decided by the United States Supreme Court? Does that make America safe again? Meanwhile another federal judge has just blocked the President&#8217;s most recent executive order to withhold federal funds from so called sanctuary cities. When did our country become a judicial tyranny? I don&#8217;t remember any federal district court judge anywhere in the country\u00a0ever striking down anything that President Obama\u00a0did.<\/p>\n<p>The deal with Iran wasn&#8217;t blocked by a federal district court judge. ObamaCare is still the law of the land.\u00a0 The effort to repeal and replace failed.\u00a0 Then Trump\u00a0threw General Flynn under the bus to appease the Democrats\u2026 Steve Bannon was removed from the National Security Council to appease the Democrats\u2026 and now another one of Donald Trump\u2019s key senior advisors, Dr. Sebastian Gorka is being targeted for removal by the same hostile Democrat forces within the halls of Congress. They\u00a0are merely campaigning for 2018. They also went after Kelly Ann Conway for\u00a0the remark she made about buying Ivanka\u2019s merchandise, and they even had the nerve to go after Ivanka Trump\u00a0 for refusing to divest herself of her fashion clothing\u00a0business. Of course they\u00a0insist that\u00a0the President\u00a0should sell every single one of his business too.<\/p>\n<p>This is all just a collaborative effort by liberal Democrats and Establishment Republicans\u00a0along with\u00a0the fakestream news media to prevent the Trump Administration from actually accomplishing anything in its first one hundred days. They especially want to undermine his desire to repair our\u00a0relationship with Moscow which\u00a0seems to be\u00a0in ruins.\u00a0 Have we all forgotten about Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev?<\/p>\n<p>America\u2019s military industrial complex always needs to have at least one boogey man to go after.. During the Bush Administration it was Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden\u2026\u00a0While Bin Laden was a real\u00a0threat to our national security, Saddam Hussein was not. He was just a ruse that we had no business going after. The Obama Administration had Muammar Gadhafy in Libya, Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, and Bashar al Assad in Syria to go after. Now it appears that the newest boogey man on the block is Vladimir Putin, but regime change in Syria is still on the minds of many in Washington although he doesn&#8217;t threaten\u00a0America at\u00a0all&#8230; Then there is the little dictator in North Korea. What would we do without a boogey man or two or three ?<\/p>\n<p>For many years we have been building up China to become a major industrial and economic superpower as well the regional military power they are in that part of the world. Now all of a sudden in the blink of an eye China\u00a0has become\u00a0a\u00a0threat to our vital national security interests over some man made islands in the South China Sea. What they\u00a0are doing there cannot be tolerated anymore\u2026 Why didn&#8217;t anybody bother to say anything for the last sixty years while we were empowering them by trading with them and purchasing all of their cheap manufactured goods? Now all of a sudden something has to be done about the growing threat posed by China. Excuse me, but I am not buying it. They are not a threat to America\u2019s national security interests any more than Syria is.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9957\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9957\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-9957 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Kin-Jong-un-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"267\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9957\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kim Jong Un<\/p><\/div>\n<p>For years the Japanese and South Koreans have watched as a family of little dictators in North Korea have tried to develop their country&#8217;s military and nuclear capabilities, but no one ever thought that it rose to the level of an actual\u00a0out and out military confrontation until now.. All of a sudden the current\u00a0North Korean dictator poses such a great threat to\u00a0the world and to America\u2019s vital national security interests that it cannot be tolerated any more so we\u00a0 sent a carrier strike group over there to the South China Sea to let\u00a0him know it\u2026 Russian troops and Chinese troops are massing along the North Korean border in the event of a war and all one hundred United States Senators have been called to the White House\u00a0in order to meet with the President about the situation\u2026 This is high stakes political drama at its worst.<\/p>\n<p>The whole world is\u00a0at loggerheads over more than just the little dictator in North Korea. Western democracies are in turmoil over how to handle the perplexing problems posed by unwanted Muslim refugees from the Middle East and North Africa.\u00a0Many countries are so internally divided right now between people on the Right and on the Left of the political spectrum that they cant agree on anything anymore\u2026 The United States, \u00a0England, \u00a0France, \u00a0Germany, \u00a0Holland,\u00a0 and Italy are all so internally divided that there is no hope for any national consensus, and yet\u00a0 it seems like we are\u00a0 on the edge of a world war. Are we really ready for a war with Russia and China over North Korea? Does something have to be done right now about the nuclear aspirations of the latest in the short line of little dictators\u00a0from North Korea. \u00a0Is Kim Jong Un\u00a0a reason for the world to go to war? I don&#8217;t think so.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/making-a-big-deal-about-north-koreas-little-dictator\/\" data-send=\"false\" data-layout=\"standard\" data-width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" data-action=\"like\" data-font=\"\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"117\" height=\"125\" src=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Kin-Jong-un-10.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail-excerpt\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><p>The man who wrote The Art of the Deal, America\u2019s 45th President Donald J.
