PANMUNJOM, N.K. and DEMILITARIZED ZONE - In an unprecedented move that shocked the world, former President Donald Trump made a daring run across the North Korean border yesterday.

Clad in his signature red tie and sporting a “Make America Great Again” hat, Trump reportedly sprinted across the demilitarized zone (DMZ) shouting, “Rocket Man, take me in!,” possibly referring to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, with whom he shared an inconsistent relationship during his presidency.
