He needs help finding Korea on a world map. He gets briefings, and probably makes comments like "Yeah, that sounds good, let's do that" regardless of context.
Trump is being played by Kim just like the others were. Maybe worse because he is actually going to go meet with the bum before Kim does anything about denuclearization - something Trump said he would never do. So already Trump is backpedaling. Kim's got his nukes and the security from the west he desires and is now moving to an international stage. Trump is being punked.
Well this has been a.... shall we say, "unconventional" presidency so far. I suspect nobody at the State Department heard about this until it was announced publicly.
Clinton got played by NK. GWB got played by NK. Trump on the other hand... well, either he's going to resolve this issue once and for all or he's going to trigger a full-scale regional war in East Asia that quite possibly goes nuclear -- I still can't lay odds on which is more likely.
North Korea has made these promises before. Trump meeting with NK is idiocy in the extreme. No POTUS has met with a leader of NK because it gives legitimacy to a brutal dictatorship. It tells Kim Jong Un that he matters, that he is on par with other world leaders. Kim Jong Un is a maniac; anyone who thinks that Trump--of all people--is going to "solve" this problem is living in a reality of their own making.
On a related note re yesterday's news: Never before have I seen foreign leaders emerge from the White House, as the South Korean National Security guy and his minions did yesterday, deliver news about his government, to the American people, and then walk back into the White House. Trump was nowhere to be seen. It was beyond bizarre and not a little unsettling. If Obama had allowed this, the right-wingers would be up in arms, screeching about Obama handing our White House over to foreigners. Yet, oddly, not a peep.
Trump needs to go. He is nearly as insane as Kim Jong Un. He is a man with no understanding of how government works, plagued by decades of corrupt money laundering--and cheating people out of their pay--and skirt-chasing, who is barely even literate, who spends his early morning hours tweeting god-knows-what to his salivating, practically unconscious base, and most of his time golfing, who decides on the spur of the moment to put drilling in ANWR into a bill because a friend mentioned it to him (hey, good idea, put that in there, too!). It is beyond surreal that this know-nothing, loud-mouth lunatic is sitting in our White House. No matter what the man says or does, no matter how utterly off-the-rails he is, his base utters not one word of criticism. Not a patriot among them.
An analysis said last night that Intel reports have shown that North Korea is on the verge of total bankruptcy. Their economy is crashing. The severe sanctions that Trump has put on them, especially making China's bank cooperate has brought Kim to his knees. And that's why he asked for a meeting with Trump ASAP
We shall see...
They hate all Republican President .... and anyone who votes for them.
They even hate the dead Republican Presidents for the most part.
Bush has some redemption now since he is an Anti-Trumper Bitter Bushy.
