Donald Trump, backed by Vladimir Putin and now, Kim Jong-Un

Photo from www.longroom.com It’s no secret that for some reason, Donald Trump is a frontrunner in the U.S. presidential race. No matter how big of an imbecile he becomes in front of Americans’ eyes with his out-of-this-world policies – one that includes a strange immigration approach, less protection for the environment, and his propensity to bring back fossil fuels as a main energy source – things that would make any sane man cringe, majority of the voting population seem to be keen on voting for him still once the race to become President of the United States officially kicks off this fall.

What’s interesting is the fact that Trump seems to be attracting vile foreign dictators as well. According to a report from the Korean Business News Daily, the ruler of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) is supporting Donald Trump after watching the Democrat debate on TV.

Powerful Tea Party Group's Internal Docs Leak—Read Them Here

Click here for the latest. FreedomWorks, the national conservative group that helped launch the tea party movement, sells itself as a genuine grassroots operation, and for years it has battled accusations of "astroturfing"—posing as a populist organization while doing the bidding of big-money donors.

Devised and policed by the United States and Britain, the extreme suffering caused by these "sanctions" included, according to Unicef, the deaths of half a million Iraqi infants under the age of five.
