Discussion: WaPo: Trump Team Boasting About N. Korean Hostages Could Threaten Their Release

According to Chosunilbo, the English version of the Korean news, Kim Jong un wants sanctions lifted, withdraw from THADD (Terminal high-altitude Area Defense battery), and stop mentioning human rights abuses in North Korea. Now, who is going along with that? And with South Korea, Trump is using the military bases as a bargaining chip to negotiate for trade deficits. The SK government says that’s a non starter. Didn’t HRC tell the world that Trump was dangerous? This is the time to pay attention to what this grifter is up to, and the nonsense he is pushing.

Once again, Trump, Guiliani and their “team” prove that the only thing they are concerned with is their incessant self-aggrandizing and the belittling of others. They care not one wit for anyone. . . .not anyone except themselves.

This is probably way too much strategic thinking from the white house, but if he can get Kim to announce something bad about the hostages he can call off the summit without looking like he knew he was going to get rolled.

Shouldn’t that be four boobs? Or these two blabbermouth pair of boobs?

For Trump there is only one “real life,” and that’s his, everyone else is just an audience who feeds his needs for attention.

I wonder how he’ll spin “I like hostages that weren’t kidnapped.”

If there is a way for trump to screw this whole thing up, he will find it.

I am still puzzled how knowledgeable commentators on foreign policy don’t get that Trump’s policy towards NK amounts to appeasement and surrender to Kim. He keeps his nukes and his totalitarian state apparatus and gets US troops off the peninsula, trade/diplomatic openings and a cessation of hostilities with the south. It’s exactly what Putin would want.

Trump screws up everything he touches and everyone who foolishly chooses to serve him.

Giuliani as Trump’s personal attorney is now talking about Iran and the JCPOA. He seems to be a jack-of-all trades. Personal attorney, foreign policy advisor, and spokesperson for the WH.

Well, you have to admit, he didn’t specifically say which world.

Wow, if donald gives away everything as khyber900 listed, and tries to get a deal – and then renigs on the Iran nuclear deal – what a joke. How does one spell ‘stooooopid’.

Part of it now is donald being starry-eyed thinking he will get a Nobel Peace Prize, and be equal with Obama – and donald probably thinks he deserves one. (Along with the nincompoops that nominated him). Hope against hope that donald will retire soon.

And in another episode of Donald Trump’s “How To Win Friends Among and Gain Influence With Our Foreign Allies”, His Dicklessness has insulted the victims of the 2015 terrorist attack in Paris. And France. Is. Pissed!

“Le shitstain, c’est moi!”

Always desperate for praise. Every day. If he doesn’t get it, he praises himself.

He always wanted a Purple Heart, too. Just not enough to actually be wounded in a war. But an old veteran who had earned his gave it to him.

I hope he is never ever allowed in France. Per the article he dissed London as well. Maybe it’s time for Teresa May to un-invite him to England.

ETA, After the Parkland massacre, Trump said he’d have run into the school unarmed presumably to disarm the gunman. He is a sick piece of work.
