A small observation, but one I’ve not seen anyone else make:
In threatening “fire and fury” in response to “threats” from Kim Whichever, the president of the United States looked terrified and utterly impotent. His arms were wrapped around his midsection in a gesture of desperate self-protection and fear, the posture of a victim.
Kim, by contrast, has appeared in his recent public media showings as delighted with his country’s martial and technical progress. His demeanor is loose, relaxed and in control, the Kimmish Fonz, as it were.
Whatever alliterative catch phrases Mr. Trump has successfully memorized, his posture delivering those cliches this afternoon did, IMO, absolutely nothing to intimidate Kim and his generals.
Yeah, I know. Doesn’t seem like much of a much, but watch the video again, and imagine yourself one of the vast majority of the world’s non-English speakers. Watch the man, and ask yourself how formidable this American president looks,
