11/7/17: REMARKS BY PRESIDENT TRUMP TO THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA
War is a mountain
Blood is a sign.
War is a city.
War is a miraculous peninsula.
It built this day,
and I congratulate it.
Life has risen
from a nuclear anywhere.
Peace is a golfer
at Trump National Golf Club
in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Loyalty is a bucket,
not a human being.
History is a tale
of fascism and oppression.
I fear the truth.
My cult is deranged.
Under a spell.
I would not have it
any other way.
