and Kim makes three ..

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Kim Jong-un might seem an unlikely player in the global jockeying to get on the new American president’s good side, given the North Korean leader’s implied threats as recently as New Year’s Day to launch nuclear missiles at the United States.

But Mr. Kim apparently sees in President Trump “a good opportunity for him to open a kind of compromise with the new American administration,” North Korea’s highest-ranking defector, Thae Yong-ho, said in an interview with CNN last week.

The bromance between President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and Mr. Trump is the most prominent example of a trend that has swept the world, instilling new hope for a strongman-friendly America in countries like the Philippines, Turkey or Egypt, and among nationalists in many other places who hope to follow in Mr. Trump’s footsteps and gain political power.

Many appear to see a Trump presidency as an opportunity to engage with a like-minded leader who has stated nationalist aims. Others may hope for respite from criticism over their human rights records or authoritarian tendencies. Some, like Mr. Kim and Mr. Putin, might see an opportunity to further their national aims in a new geopolitical order.

The Russia/China/Iran/N.Korea bloc is going to play Trump like a fine-tuned fiddle. Rex T. will put the rosin on the bow.

sure they are ... all they have to do is massage his already bloated ego, and we're screwed.
 
Getting the US to do literally anything they want (respond to taunting or ass-kissing slathery praise) is merely a matter of child's play at this point. Never have we had a more susceptible POTUS to kneejerk reaction to obvious manipulation.
