Trump said the dictator is being "open" and is honorable. He has used the word "honorable" several times. Deliberate? Does that word mean more somehow, in (North) Korean culture? From "Rocket Man" to "honorable." hmmm. Art of the Deal? Paging Ax and Taiwan Girl. |

Don't know ... was Trump speaking in Korean or English? Did Trump use a Korean word or term in his otherwise English sentence? |

It means something in our culture - and Kim ain't it. |

Hmmm. I am not sure that President Trump had any long term view when he said that. To me, President Trump is very spontaneous, saying the first thing that comes into his mind. I believe he is much more a short term thinker than a long term thinker. This is just a "hypothetical", but if Hilary Clinton stopped by the White House and brought to him some fresh baked cookies, we would see a tweet from President Trump: "Just ran into Hilary Clinton. Good heart on her and thinks of others. Brought some cookies. Good cook too." Then the next day, he could be saying something else. My imagination is that he sits with his phone with the microphone on, and when something catches his attention, he speaks something for Twitter and off it goes! But, to answer your question Rainman, I do not believe that "honorable" in Korean has any more special meaning than in English. |

Mr. Trump's tweets for the next 6 months are already written. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |
