It’s a good thing Trump is “helping” with his tweets and barking. He is beginning to make Kim Jong-eun look like the rational partner in this mess. Heaven help us all…and save us from the schoolyard bully in the Oval Office.

Oh, @AP, you’ll never change, will you?

Trump has been widely accused of injecting a new element of unpredictability and even chaos into U.S. policy toward North Korea, especially with his tweets and proclamations this week.

He isn’t being “accused” of injecting unpredictability.

He’s injecting unpredictability.

Also, kudos for the subtle slamming of Obummer. Trump has demonstrated more flexibility? GTFOH with this nonsense.

In a normal world this would be a good thing.

Well when you have no ideas, and your policy can do a 180 on a dime then i guess you can say that’s more flexible.

So, now that this negotiation has been disclosed, can we expect the people working it to be loudly fired?

Unfortunately, and per the usual, Trump is in full ego-driven reaction mode while the professionals in government try to implement something that is called “policy”.

It is remarkable how Trump manages to corrupt absolutely everything that he touches across every domain.

Which means that Trump is now sending private Tweets to Kim, saying, “Your mama so fat…”

I have a feeling that Trump is trying to provoke North Korea into doing something stupid so he can beat them into submission. His seems to be a wag the dog strategy with nuclear weapons and the lives of millions of Koreans, north and south, on the line.

“Trump Admin Quietly Engaged In Back Channel Diplomacy With North Korea.”

Well, I certainly hope so. The orange fool WANTS a war to prop up his sagging support. We cannot let him have it.

Similar to the conversation about just pretending that Mexico would pay for the wall so it would be politically advantageous? That worked well.

It does seem a bit reminiscent of T-boy trying to taunt Sessions into quitting.
