The lawyer and activist mocked President Trump for trying to be like North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un with his sparsely-attended military parade on Saturday—and gave him a fitting new nickname.

Lawyer and activist George Conway mocked President Donald Trump with a new nickname suggesting Trump was trying to be like North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un by being so gung ho about his ultimately sparsely-attended military parade

The military parade was a celebration of the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary that also coincided with Trump's 79th birthday. Those who attended said it was poorly organized. It also took place against the backdrop of mass protests against the Trump administration across the country following his decision to send the National Guard and Marines into Los Angeles to curb demonstrations there.


Trump is notably vulnerable to flattery and has been criticized for cozying up to authoritarians and dictators around the world. He has previously praised Kim, the leader of one of the world's most brutal totalitarian regimes, as a “smart guy” and a “great negotiator.”

So Conway's nickname for Trump proved appropriate considering Trump doesn't want to just praise Kim—he wants to be like him, a desire that the military parade showed he's just not cut out for.

Conway said:

"[Trump] tried to play Kim Jong Un for an afternoon, but he’s still just Kim Jong Loon."

You can see his post below.


The nickname, people agreed, perfectly suited Trump—and they couldn't help but mock him further.


Despite shutting down large portions of central Washington, D.C., closing major roads, and reportedly costing up to $45 million, Trump's military parade was a total bust—and Conway wasn't the only prominent figure thinking it.

Earlier, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also drew comparisons between Trump and Kim, calling the military parade "Trump's low-energy Dear Leader parade."

By contrast, Clinton noted, "millions of people across the country [were] gathering peacefully" for the "No Kings" protests, which drew millions to rallies in hundreds of locations nationwide.

Marco Rubio Just Tried To Claim That 'American Citizenship Is Not For Sale'—And Everyone Had The Same Response

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was called out after trying to claim on X that "American citizenship is not for sale," even though the Trump administration offers a route toward citizenship in exchange for a large financial contribution.

Birthright citizenship is a legal concept that grants citizenship automatically at birth. It exists in two forms: ancestry-based citizenship and birthplace-based citizenship. The latter, known as jus soli, a Latin term meaning "right of the soil," grants citizenship based on the location of birth.

John Hinckley Jr. Shares New Message For Jodie Foster 45 Years After Shooting Ronald Reagan To Impress Her

Some Hollywood stories fade with time. The disturbing history connecting Jodie Foster and John Hinckley Jr. is not one of them. For those who don’t know, on March 30, 1981, Hinckley waited outside the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., where President Ronald Reagan had just addressed 5,000 members of the AFL-CIO.

As Reagan emerged from the hotel, Hinckley fired six shots from a revolver. One bullet ricocheted off Reagan’s limousine and struck him beneath his arm. White House Press Secretary James Brady, police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy were also wounded.

Journalist Reveals Just How Much Money Has Been Diverted From National Parks For Trump's Vanity Projects—And People Are Livid

In a series of articles for MacFarlane News and MeidasTouch, videos, and an appearance on CNN, Chief Washington Correspondent for MeidasTouch Scott MacFarlane blew the whistle on MAGA Republican President Donald Trump’s raiding of National Park Service (NPS) funds. Aided by his Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Trump diverted NPS money to pay for all of his White House and Washington D.C. vanity projects.

Trump’s hand-selected, mostly unwanted and unnecessary White House grounds and National Mall projects—things like a botched reflecting pool resurfacing, golden decor, a helipad, a ballroom, gilded statues, and giant flagpoles—alone took $423 million from major national parks across the country.
