Stephen King Schools Trump With Ancient Military Advice
Horror novelist Stephen King is not averse to dinging President Donald Trump with an old literary quote.
And on Friday night, The Shining author did it again ― with this line from Chinese general and philosopher Sun Tzu’s ancient military guide, The Art of War.
Unlike Donald Trump, who doesn't read, Kim Jong-un knows The Art of War, by Sun Tzu: "Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance."

King’s tweet was an apparent response to Trump’s tweeted claim that North Korea would become “a great Economic Powerhouse” under its dictator Kim Jong Un. Trump also announced an upcoming summit with the North Korean leadership in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Feb. 27 and Feb. 28 with his posts.
My representatives have just left North Korea after a very productive meeting and an agreed upon time and date for the second Summit with Kim Jong Un. It will take place in Hanoi, Vietnam, on February 27 & 28. I look forward to seeing Chairman Kim & advancing the cause of peace!

North Korea, under the leadership of Kim Jong Un, will become a great Economic Powerhouse. He may surprise some but he won’t surprise me, because I have gotten to know him & fully understand how capable he is. North Korea will become a different kind of Rocket - an Economic one!
