American Juche

[Politruk]

The official ideology of North Korea is no longer Communism. It is now Juche -- literally "self-reliance," but used here to mean "economic autarky" -- the idea that a country should be able to get along entirely on its own resources, with no foreign trade at all. No tourism industry, either.

That appears to be what Trump has in mind for the U.S., though of course he wouldn't know the word.

It's illegal to show disrespect or make jokes about North Korea, current or former leaders or their families. Please proceed to the nearest reprogramming facility.

At any rate, he's going to kill off the tourism industry.

It didn't stop that Aussie chick that got a rubber bullet in the ass from coming here. Everybody loves a shit show.

And what else is the point of his tariffs?

So, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Self reliance is big in flyover country.
