"(Kim's) the head of a country. And I mean, he is the strong head. Don’t let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same." Trump said.

In other words, he wants more sycophantic lemmings like Whell.

“He said that he had "hit it off" with the North Korean premier.”

No doubt. Birds of a feather...

This decision is a very big deal not only because it allows the @SummerZervos defamation case to go forward (barring a @realDonaldTrump appeal to #SCOTUS), but it also cements the propriety of the major new suit by @NewYorkStateAG being brought in state—rather than federal—court.

NY Court of Appeals today denies Trump move to block defamation suit by ex-'Apprentice' contestant Summer Zervos (link: https://at.law.com/nur2nu?cmp=share_twitter)

Scumbags REALLY hate it when their bad behavior is detailed in public. Donny too.

Trump says pretrial detention is too harsh for Paul Manafort.

Trump has thousands of children separated from their moms and dads, held in internment camps because he has ordered pretrial detention for every asylum-seeker who arrives at the border.

@tedlieu
Dear @realDonaldTrump: Yes, witness tampering by Paul Manafort carries with it a tough sentence. That's why you should avoid doing so. For example, dangling pardons would be considered witness tampering, and pardoning witnesses against you would constitute obstruction of justice.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Wow, what a tough sentence for Paul Manafort, who has represented Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and many other top political people and campaigns. Didn’t know Manafort was the head of the Mob. What about Comey and Crooked Hillary and all of the others? Very unfair!
