The fool has given NK a huge gift.

Even for him, this is pretty stupid. What a boob. Follow the link to read all the Jeffrey Lewis tweets.

I must have taken a really long nap this afternoon. Apparently we’ve been holding talks with North Korea for the past few years and now President Trump is ready for a summit meeting with Kim Jong-Un to wrap things up:

President Trump has accepted an extraordinary invitation by North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un to meet this spring, White House and South Korean officials said Thursday….Chung Eui-yong, South Korea’s national security director, said in an unusual statement to reporters at the White House that the North Korean ruler had expressed “his eagerness to meet President Trump as soon as possible” and that Trump had agreed to do so.

What year is this? Speak up, please. Still 2018? And we’re doing the summit meeting first and then the talks? And nobody from the State Department knew about this? And the summit is solely to “discuss” denuclearization? Is Donald Trump the stupidest man alive? If you want to know what’s going on here, Jeffrey Lewis has the right take:

Even given Trump’s usual cavalier attitude toward everything, this is damn strange. What does South Korea think of this? What does China think of this? Does anyone know anything about why Kim is on such a charm offensive lately?

1. Putin is probably giggling..

He probably has Trump agreeing to "denuclearize" the US.

5. nah: cheetolini is too attached to his phallic symbols to give them up. nt

[radical noodle]

2. trump has best be careful

Kim will use some of that deadly potion on trump if he gets mouthy.

[vlyons]

3. NK needs food and fuel

NK will promise to stop nuclear program if Russia can deliver oil. So Trump can lift Russian sanctions.

[duforsure]

6. Russia and China are already ignoring sanctions ,

[shanny]

4. Sounds OK to me: better than a war.

Kim will roll tRump, he'll look stupid but think he is winning, his reputation will sink further--internationally but also and especially with his loyal fans*--we won't have a war and maybe cheetolini's support will tank enough to render him powerless and induce him to quit. Good riddance. Also too the pukes will tank in the midterms.

Sorry but I'm OK with it. We're a big enough country to sustain some hits like this to survive the madman in the oval.


eta: * imagine the response when he comes back proclaiming "peace in our time"

7. Agree completely. I despise trump and he'll likely screw it up; but, otherwise,

I don't have problem meeting with Kim. Should have been done long ago.
