George Conway Just Gave Trump A Brutal New Nickname After His Disastrous Military Parade

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.
