Discussion: Trump Tells Pompeo Not To Travel To North Korea Due To Lack Of Progress

ā€œProgressā€? I thought we were done? Something about ā€œsleep easy tonight, America, I have made you safeā€, or whatever?

Does anybody remember this besides me?

No. We have always been grudgingly acknowledging that we are still sort of at war with Eastasia.

The people whose job it is to brief him about whatā€™s going on in the world of objective reality must tear their hair out in fistfuls when they read this kind of thing. Itā€™s a report direct from the fantasyscape inside his skull.

So youā€™re just giving up, Donnie? You know, if you do that, you might just be forced to admit that your little photo op with Kim wasnā€™t quite the success you claimed.

But then I donā€™t think itā€™s a surprise to anyone that when the going gets tough and you canā€™t get instant gratification and praise, you take your toys and go home.

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump declared Wednesday that the North Korean regime no longer poses a nuclear threat following his summit with Kim Jong Un, even though the meeting produced no verifiable proof that the rogue regime will discontinue its nuclear program.

In a series of tweets, Trump sought to take political credit for the summit but risked undermining the US strategy in the region.
ā€œJust landed - a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office,ā€ Trump tweeted as he arrived back in Washington. "There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea."

I like how Donnie is still sending ā€œwarm regardsā€ to Kim. Like that means jack shit. Or maybe Donnie just canā€™t admit to himself that his little buddy played him big time.

Over-acting on the part of some staffer. Trump canā€™t rub two words together at this point and is probably sedated.

The last person he sent his ā€œwarm regardsā€ to was dead, if I recall.

And he wants to see him soon. He sounds like a 14-year-old who got taken for a ride and has to be told 137 times that you and your erstwhile squeeze are not repeat not getting back together so you can just stop being publicly pathetic about it.

The Cheng thread is intervesting, because a) it confirms what folks already suspected bout this part of the timeline and b) its one of the better ā€˜read tween the linesā€™ conversations/confessions.

Staffer: Sir? Weā€™ve made no progress on North Korea. Theyā€™re continuing to strengthen their nuclear arsenal. I suggest we not send Pompeo and please rememberā€¦do NOT send warm regards to Kim.

Trump: Okā€¦okā€¦got it.

I would like to send my warmest regards and respect to Chairman Kim. I look forward to seeing him soon!

Doh!

its likely slight.

Though heā€™d likely be a giddy schoolgirl with President Pence, Brooks is aware that his boss is Donald John Trump.
