Delusions of grandeur

Now sit up straight when you read this.  The Independent reports:

US President Donald Trump has said that he would like US citizens to "sit up in attention" when he talks, in the same way North Korea's people do when their leader Kim Jong-un speaks.

The president was speaking about his relationship with the North Korean dictator, who has been accused of numerous human rights violations by the United Nations and watchdog groups. 

"He speaks and his people sit up in attention. I want my people to do the same," Mr Trump quipped of Mr Kim during an interview on Fox News' 'Fox & Friends' while standing on the lawn outside of the White House. Later in the morning, Mr Trump told other news outlets he was "kidding" about the comment. 

What next?  Perhaps he would like people to bow when he enters a room.  Better to go the whole hog and give him a throne and a crown ...
