Yesterday he tweeted that he and Kim were fine -- all is good -- talks underway.
And now this.
All kidding aside......
Not to be patronizing but you have to feel some sympathy for Trump.
He truly is so naive that he thought he had a personal relationship with Kim that was going to make a difference. Trump isn't that complex or sinister really -- he's basic as they get and I'm sure he's puzzled by all of this. Thinking that him and Kim were on good talking terms.
Where was this ship headed to — who was to buy the coal?
The origin of the ship was being disguised and it was evidently on its way to American Samoa. It was carrying coal from NK (that's illegal) and intended to bring heavy equipment back to NK (that's illegal, too).
The ship is NK's second largest cargo ship, even though 17,000 tons is not a particularly huge ship.
NK is going to have to do without this ship. The US has legal possession.
You have to wonder what percentage of N Korea's annual coal production is exported. I guessing coal is rationed within the country to the masses. The country has some brutal winter weather. Guessing the ordinary folks have to bundle up and endure the chilly temps.
What foreign policy? The fly by the seat of your pants, making foreign policy decisions in tweets in the middle of the night without any discussion with his generals and senior advisors and then backtracking the next day when he's told how stupid he is, foreign policy?
Is that what we're calling a foreign policy these days?
Well to be fair, Trump had an excellent role model in Obama to follow. Obama showed us how to involve ourselves in civil wars that had nothing to do with us or our National Security. He demonstrated that paying off people who hate us, doesn't buy their respect. After Iran's huge payoff, they then captured and mistreated the crew of a US Nat boat that had a mechanical failure and drifted into Iranian waters. Just goes to show that billions in cash doesn't buy love. LOL
WE haven't had a good foreign policy since Clinton and his wasn't great either.

Kind of sad.......
The ship was seized a month ago, not today or yesterday....
Aren't you glad he's not giving millions to brutal dictatorships?
Aren't you glad he hasn't started any "Wars of Choice" that get 10s of 1000s killed for nothing?
Aren't you glad he isn't jet setting around the world to apologize for America and Americans?
Trump has been great for the USA. Only double standard Democrats might thing otherwise.
