Explanation?

"Your asshole Monkey-in-Chief has de-stabilized the entire Asian World because he's SCARED of the mean old brown-skin folks.

He's playing with his DICK while Kim Jim-Bob is building nukes and launching missiles.

The Russias are in chaos.

The Japanese are only 50 years away from the rape of Nanjing.

You got a question -- tell it to us face-to-face.

Or are you like your boss -- just one more of this administration's craven showboaters, talking tough when you're around your friends.

What a waste -- you actually have an education, even if it's a Cold War fixation.

And while we're on the subject, what about YOUR arms stockpiling?

Hey lady, DIG YOURSELVES FIRST."
