The former president of the United States Donald Trump received a honorary black ribbon as part of a recognition made by the World Taekwondo Organization of South Korea, due to his interest in martial arts.

Paradoxically, this recognition is precisely the same that was awarded to the President of Russia Vladimir Putin in the year 2013. However, as is well known, the Russian is an expert in martial arts, especially judo.

As reported by World Taekwondo News, Kukkiwon President Lee Dong-sup traveled to the state of Florida to visit Trump and present him with the distinction.

Last Friday the World Taekwondo Federation 🥋 bestowed the 9th Dan (mythical grandmaster rank) on obese “never worn a 🥋 dobok” Donald Trump.
