Like giving a child a hand grenade. Oh well, I suppose it’ll be nice to have the North Korean embassy at 666 5th Avenue…in exchange for stealth bombers or something.

Just another day in the Covfefe Republic – where all the weather is stormy, all the facts are alternative, and all the TV’s are tuned to Fox.

Better he indulges these masturbatory fantasies—it’s all he does all day anyway—than getting peeved and launching a nuclear war. Gotta give Moon credit, he distracted Trump with this gambit the way you distract a crying baby with a rattle.

Facing questions from reporters about Trump’s decision to agree to the meeting without clear actions from the North Korean regime, Sanders pointed out that Kim did commit to stop testing nuclear missiles and allow the U.S. and South Korea to conduct joint military exercises.

“Let’s not forget that the North Koreans did promise something,” she told reporters in Friday’s daily press briefing.

Who’s the biggest breaker of promises at this meeting? Who has added new and interesting words to the American lexicon? Who wants the biggliest bad ass press coverage the most? Who is the leader that lives in their own created reality?

He can’t find North Korea on a map, doesn’t have a State Department, no ambassador to South Korea, won’t rely on regional experts or listen to US Intelligence agencies…yet pushes forward because of his own “good brain” and Xi’s pat on the back.

It’s really too bad the world won’t allow you to call “Intermission”, so we can close the curtain for four years.

The second largest trade deficit is $69 billion with Japan (goods only).

I don’t know whether this matters or, if true, what it signifies, but:

Compare the language in the two tweets. I bet y’all a cup of covfefe Trump didn’t write the first one**.

**except for the exclamation point.

Luckily, negotiating a deal with North Korea is the same as negotiating naming rights for a hotel. We know he can do that, right? My guess he comes out of this with a new Trump branded hotel in NK.

Putting on a brave face now, comments about it will drive the “he is clueless about what he is getting into” message home. He will think of an asinine reason not to go through with it sooner or later.

“Let’s not forget that the North Koreans did promise something.”

And if you believe that, then Louie Gohmert has a virgin goat to sell you.

And Trump’s Bedporium had a never-been-pissed-on used mattress for you too.

Currently have a massive $100 Billion Trade Deficit. Not fair or sustainable. It will all work out!

Any guesses as to what Xi and Abe actually said?

I’ll give credit to the people the tv networks brought in as experts who quickly dismissed Trump’s gambit as a fool’s errand, naive and a win for Kim. They tempered a media that was in swoon mode. Trump is going to define down the standards for ‘negotiating’ with Kim. Trump wants us to accept an unenforecable verbal promise not to do a full on nuke test, while Kim continues to build, research and lab test stuff, continue espionage and other sorts of NK aggressive activities.

People shouldn’t buy it and should be critical and skeptical. Foreign policy is not an arena for a marketing event.

President XI told me he appreciates that the U.S. is working to solve the problem diplomatically rather than going with the ominous alternative. China continues to be helpful!

Not saying it’s really a fair contest, but there is some competition there.

I guess “dotard” can’t be counted as an added word, but it sure is interesting.
