Uncommon courtesy

Yesterday I posted that video clip of Trump saluting the North Korean general and said "Trump would like an American video of praise matching [the tone of the Korean TV announcer]."

I guess I called that one.  (Disclaimer: it was an easy call.)

Trump joked after watching North Korean state-run television that not even Fox News praises him as much as the female anchor in North Korea praised Kim, a source told The Post.

The president also said that the North Korean anchor should maybe get a job in U.S. media, the newspaper reported.

[...]

"You know, it was sort of interesting because I noticed some of the press ... And I'm not even knocking them, because honestly they've been treating me very good on this subject. What's to treat badly? But some of the press would say, 'he's meeting with them, therefore he had a major loss.' I said, 'since when?' " Trump said.

One person who spoke to the newspaper [...] recalled Trump talking about how the guards could likely take on White House chief of staff John Kelly, a retired four-star Marine general.

[...]

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Thursday defended Trump's salute, calling it “common courtesy.”

A military salute is not "common courtesy", and we all know Trump doesn't have even a passing relationship with courtesy.

Is Kelly being allowed to finish out his one year and leave on his own?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
