Putin got one earlier, but Trump has a higher rank than Chuck Norris.

In my youth I studied taekwondo. Now i consider my youth entirely wasted.

[housecat]

1. Mine was wasted even without martial arts

[tinrobot]

2. I bet they had to make the belt bigger.

To fit his massive circumference.

[allegorical oracle]

5. Ha! Like something more befitting a Sumo wrestler? nt

[jmowreader]

3. How do you say...

“What in hell did you think you were doing?” In Korean?

[PCIntern]

4. "Honorary"

How ridiculous. I’m gonna get an Honorary Nobel Peace Prize for my contributions to DU.

[Chainfire]

6. I spent the money I got from my parents for martial arts lessons on girls and booze.

The rest I just pissed away.

7. Naturally, Trump will eliminate "honorary" from the certificate at the first opportunity.

Soon the lie will metastasize and he'll be riffing on how he trained for years to earn the belt. Always the bullshit artist, he'll even invite Chuck Norris to one of his rallies to spar a bit on stage. What a fucking moron.

8. In the manga and anime, Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl!, her grandfather's rank was never certain

Inokuma Jigorou, grandfather to Yawara, usually quoted a higher rank every time his rank was mentioned.
He was a horrible, lying, mean, old man, but unlike TFG, he was likable and competent.
I expect TFG to be 11th dan within a month.

9. Now that is a joke

[Carlitos Brigante]

10. I mean, yeah it's laughable but also an insult to the sport. Vladimir Putin might

be a flaming bag of sub human garbage. But if someone had given him some honorary judo degree. OK, there are way more deserving people. But there is a connection there with him as a practitioner. WTF does this bloated tumor know about taekwondo? I mean, other than what some lackey Googled for him

[sop]

13. "WTF does this bloated tumor know about taekwondo?"

Close enough for Trump...

[lame54]

11. Here is the class he took...

[nolabear]

12. What an insult to those who put in the work.

[PurgedVoter]

14. Yea, I would be asking another federation if they could test me and we move my dojo over

Belonging to this clown job politicians organization would be just too embarrassing.
Lee Dong-seop is a Korean politician, who loves Trump and Putin. Hopefully this gets the respect in Korea that he deserves.
