BY MAX GREENWOOD - 09/22/17 10:04 AM EDT
A former foreign policy adviser to President Obama is warning that there could be trouble if North Korean leader Kim Jong Un chides President Trump over the fact that he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
"God save us if Kim Jong Un makes a comment about Hillary's popular vote victory," Ben Rhodes wrote on Twitter Friday.
Link to tweet
Trump and North Korea's leader have been locked for months in a war of words and threats that has prompted concerns among foreign leaders, who fear Washington and Pyongyang may be hurdling toward a confrontation.
Trump said last month that he would unleash "fire and fury" on North Korea if the country continued to threaten the U.S. and its allies.

Humanity being wiped out in such an absurd way. This tweet could be the lynch pin that brings it all down. Egging on Kim & trump is the epitome of "Fuck it."

but maybe republican-style lies are in order to pacify the republican Draft-Dodger-&Dotard-in-Chief as he engages in Global InsultOrama with the NK Midtard-in-Chief.
