All those of you who heard Donald Trump first declare that he had read the letter from Kim Jong-un and then later claimed he had not even looked at it, you are now aware of the extent of the institutional decay in that entity we once fondly called the United States of America. There is a saying about this sort of a state, by the way.

“In the land of the sleepwalkers

The blind man is king”

“This was a meeting where a letter was given to me by Kim Jong-un, and that letter was a very nice letter — oh would you like to see what was in that letter? How much? How much?”

“I purposely didn’t open the letter. I haven’t it opened it yet. I didn’t open it in front of the director. I said, ‘Would you want me to open it?’ He said, ‘You can read it later. I could be in for a big surprise, folks.”
