Current Events: With Friends Like These...

As our president prepares to wing his way to Hanoi for a rendezvous with his beloved Kim, we were reminded once again last week that little Donnie Trump may not be the best judge of character:

Trump with New England Patriots owner and major Trump donor
Robert Kraft, recently charged with solicitation of prostitution at a
 massage parlor suspected of involvement in human trafficking
(image from The Boston Globe).

Trump with Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, recently charged with
illegally concealing a plea agreement with wealthy hedge fund manager
Jeffrey Epstein, convicted sex offender who abused dozens of
underage women (image from Vox).

Trump with former campaign manager Paul Manafort, convicted last year
on tax fraud charges and recently found guilty of lying to the FBI,
Robert Mueller's investigators, and the grand jury after pleading guilty
to conspiracy and agreeing to cooperate with the Mueller team's
investigation (image from Chicago Tribune).

Trump with former campaign advisor Roger Stone, recently charged
with lying to Congress and obstructing the House Intelligence Committee's
investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election,
 and now barred from speaking about the criminal case against him after
posting a threatening photo of the judge assigned to his case
(image from Decider).

These examples are just the most recent in a long list of Trump associations gone awry.  Let's hope he has better luck with the North Korean dictator.  Or if not, perhaps Trump would be better off further pursuing his friendship with another Kim (since somehow this post seems to have ended up highlighting some of Trump's and his friends' sartorial selections as well):
