If our MSM feels like doing their job,the main story should be how Trump treats our allies and how he sucks up to
leaders of countries who kill those who speak out against them.
Of the two here who dearly love to get their ass kissed, Kim is going to be the only happy one. The world may decide to accept NK as a potential trade partner with many needs to buy imported products, and the potential wealth to pay for those goods. So some good may come to NK, but after last week the U.S. outlook for a healthy economy sprouted wings and flew away. Good luck to us. We are going to need it.
What’s the over-under on how long until Trump disgraces America again? Whatever it is, I’ll take the under. Think again if you believe he can’t find ways to mess things up from the privacy of his hotel room.
I don’t suppose he could get ole buddy Vlad to do the same.
Now that would merit Trump’s getting a medal like President Obama’s.
If there’s a photo like the one of the petulant trump at the G-7 (G6+1?), when he’s meeting with Kim, we’re in big trouble. Vlad will be happy, though; must be a photo of him smirking somewhere.
It’s time to repress another memory…
This is going to be a big photo op. It’s what they both want. Some grandiose announcements will be made that have already been agreed to in preliminary meetings. Promises of future difficult but important negotiations will follow and both men can go home and spin it anyway that suits there needs.
For both Trump (FOXNews) and Kim with their state controlled media it’s a win-win situation.
I wonder if Kim has seen the pee-pee tape?
The key to any meeting is to have clearly defined goals and objectives, and realistic courses of action to achieve those.
I’m struggling to see any possible outcomes that don’t amount to capitulation by the U.S., and another strike against our credibility in the world.
That’s why no previous President has been dumb enough to go to the table with a North Korean leader. With no good outcomes on the table for the U.S., it’s simply pointless to walk into the room.
Hope the cleaning personnel wrapped the mattress in plastic, will make the cleaning easier later.
Quite a sight indeed – a bet-the-world chess game in which both “players” are actually pawns.
Trump is doing it for his 2020 -campaign. No matter the result, he will frame it as a victory and use it in the campaign.
And the 2018 elections.
Is it wrong to hope
A) Kim plays Donnie like a Stradivarius and embarrasses him in a way that can’t be spun, even to the hydrophobic base, and
B) Kimmy is deposed before he gets hack home?
Possibly, I’m Danish and don’t know how foreign policy affects congressional elections in the US.
What 2020 campaign? Trump’s planning to declare himself dictator for life well before that point.
Probably why he’s meeting with Kim Jong Un, getting a few pointers from someone well experienced in that.
