These Are The Foreign Leaders Who Are Eagerly Awaiting A Trump Presidency
Source: BuzzFeedNews
<snip>
Like, for example, Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s president, who according to a pair of US lawmakers is looking forward to Trump taking the White House.
Sen. Chris Coons and Rep. Adam Schiff were in Zimbabwe to discuss wildlife trafficking when they got a surprise meeting with the nonagenarian president. They told Politico that when a discussion about US sanctions on the country went sour, Mugabe apparently told them: “Once Trump is your president, you’ll wish you’d been friendlier to me.”
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un apparently penned a column — which ran on a state-run propaganda website — praising Trump.
“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,” the column in the May 31 edition of DPRK Today reads.
The author also praised Trump’s suggestion that he’d pull out US troops who have been stationed in South Korea since the 1950s if Seoul doesn’t chip in more cash. “Yes do it, now,” it reads. “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.”
