DONALD TRUMP MAY BE SUFFERING FROM A RARE AND INCURABLE MEDICAL CONDITION.

It’s called Developmental Topographical Disorientation, DTD, which, in layman’s terms, means being born with no sense of direction.

Why do I say this?

Because he seems to be confusing North Korea with South Korea.

There can be no other rational explanation.

I mean, why on earth would a President of the United States be dumping on South Korea, one of our most important strategic allies, and cozying up to North Korea and Kim Jong Un, a psychopath with a closet full of nuclear missiles.

That’s just crazy!

Admittedly, that diagnosis seems leaky when you consider that the North Korea/South Korea blunder is just the latest in a string of strategic alliances he’s torpedoed since returning to the White House.

• NATO/Europe: Trump has repeatedly threatened to pull out of NATO, called Spain a “wasted cause,” and renewed Greenland demands mid-summit, leaving allies “guessing at his commitment” even after a fragile Ankara détenté in July 2026 (Reuters, Politico). Carnegie called it “Trump Turns NATO into a Tool of Coercion,” and AP noted Europe has “begrudgingly learned to live with the reality of an unreliable ally” (Carnegie Endowment, AP).

• Canada: Prime Minister Mark Carney declared Canada essentially “at war” with the U.S. on trade after Trump imposed 50% tariffs on roughly $20 billion of Canadian goods, and he announced Canada would retaliate with its own tariffs on sectors like steel and dairy. “We’ve recognized from the start that America has changed. We recognize that sometimes, its signature is written in pencil.”

• Mexico: The U.S. formally declined to renew USMCA in its original form back on July 1, 2026. Trump then announced on Aug. 21-22 that a brand-new bilateral deal with Mexico is has started to be drawn up separately from the now-collapsed Canada talks, Mexico’s economy minister says he expects similar terms, though that comparison is awkward given Canada just walked away. (Reuters, Rio Times).

• Japan: Sanae Takaichi became Japan’s first female PM in October 2025 and has actually built unusually warm personal rapport with Trump, even while he’s pressed her for military help escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz during the Iran war. Fresh friction just emerged: Trump’s South Korea drill cuts are now creating “headaches” for Takaichi over how to handle her own North Korea policy. (AP, Japan Times)

• Taiwan: Trump paused a Congress-cleared $14 billion arms sale outright, calling it a “very good negotiating chip” with China, and as of his most recent comments, remains noncommittal: “I may do it, I may not do it.” (CNN, Politico)

• Greenland/Denmark: This has gone well past NATO-summit rhetoric. Trump said in early August that Greenland will be “under U.S. control” before his term ends; Denmark responded by deploying military conscripts to Greenland for the first time in modern history, and Greenland’s government issued a “strong warning” after blocking a Trump-linked oil company from drilling without permission (EUPerspectives, RT, Guardian).

• Panama: The framing has shifted. Rather than repeating threats to “retrieve” the canal, Trump’s most recent comments (July 2026) pivot to warning the U.S. “will not let China take over” the canal, a somewhat different justification. Separately, in January 2026, a Panamanian court ousted a Hong Kong-linked firm from canal ports, which the WSJ framed as a Trump-aligned strategic win (Reuters, Fox News)

• South Korea: Trump slashed joint military drills and continues to cozy up to Kim Jong Un, prompting the WSJ editorial board to call it “appeasement.” They warned the drill cuts send “a message of weakening deterrence and readiness against a regime that has a history of threats and aggression against the South,” predicted it will deepen the perception that “the U.S. is becoming an unreliable ally,” and floated that it could even push South Korea toward building its own nuclear deterrent.

South Korea is a treaty-bound US ally hosting roughly 28,500 American troops and a $350 billion investment pledge in return for a promise to reduce tariff rates (Reuters), a promise Trump is now treating like an inconvenience rather than a commitment.

He gutted joint drills days after North Korea test-fired missiles, called the exercises “too expensive,” and framed a 73-year alliance as a favor to Kim Jong Un instead of a deterrent against him (The Guardian).

Seoul is left publicly reaffirming a partnership Washington keeps quietly undermining, whipsawed by tariff threats one month, submarine approvals the next, never sure which Trump shows up.

It’s an ally being asked to bankroll its own uncertainty.

North Korea is a nuclear-armed dictatorship the US has never formally made peace with since the 1953 armistice, and now the one country Trump seems eager to flatter.

He’s praising Kim Jong Un’s “very good relationship” with him, downplaying missile tests as “unthreatening and respectful,” and planning a meet-up with a regime that starves its own population while stockpiling an estimated 80-120 nuclear weapons (Reuters).

The optics are stark: a democratic ally gets tariff threats and military snubs, while a totalitarian adversary gets warm words and a hoped-for handshake (Al Jazeera).

Critics call it appeasement dressed up as diplomacy, rewarding the regime everyone else is supposed to be containing.

George Will wrote a scorching Washington Post column (Aug. 21) calling Trump “frivolous” and “oblivious” amid rising global danger.

He noted Trump is “miffed” with South Korea over what he sees as insufficient help with a second, arguably redundant military strike on Iran, one launched after Trump had already claimed the first strike “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program.
