Here's what will happen if Trump meets Kim Jong Un:

[DetlefK]

1. Kim will flatter him.


2. Kim will impress him with his palaces and his military parades.


3. Kim will tell him what a historical achievement this diplomatic contact is. And Trump is the one who did it!


4. Kim will agree to take first steps that might eventually lead to denuclearization in the far, far future. In exchange for aid right now.


5. Kim will again tell him what a big win this meeting is.


6. Trump will leave and tout this as a victory.


7. Kim will do as little as possible to fulfill his side of any agreement and wait for Trump to leave office.


8. Once Trump is out of office, Kim sends North Korea back into isolation.

1. Trump treats the international stage like it is a "reality" TV show with twists and turns. n/t

2. i have a feeling the whole thing will involve a bunch of people related to Russian Oligarchs/Putin

russian spies etc.

8. Conspiracy theory

Russia is pushing Rocket Man to do a fake deal with Prez Cheeto in the hope of bumping up his approval ratings and make him look like a great negotiator. Cheeto can tout how he was the first, the best, etc. Then all the Trumpettes can spout out about his great accomplishment before the mid terms. Assuming Mueller hasn't pulled the trigger by then. Let's hope.

3. This has been the North Korean modus operandi since Bush 41

What we have to watch out for is Jared Kushner cutting a deal to open a TRUMP labeled golf course and hotel.

4. Already being done through back channels.

5. Korean Roulette

You wouldn't send Donald Trump to negotiate a used car deal.

He's going on a peace mission, to end nuclear arms on the Korean peninsula.

Peace in Our Time.

Prepare for nuclear war. Stock the shelves and grab some extra iodine pills.

This cannot end well for America.

Did Putin arrange this? It's all theater, right?

[wroberts189]

6. Yep.. Meanwhile Russia uses the whole thing to take our focus off them. n/t

[grantcart]

7. Kim will demand that US troops leave Korea

Trump will get nothing

Kim will get the photo ops that show they are equals

Kim will be emboldened.

9. Maybe now that Kim has lured him into his lair...

Kim handles him like many of his political opponents.
It wouldn’t be any kind of shock to see the Dotard collapse with a widow maker heart attack.
We all talk about it here. His lousy eating habits, his extensive exercise routine *sarcasm*, age and temperament.

Yes it would be a risky gambit on Kim’s part, all,out war being one scenario. But he takes unorthodox chances as much as the Dotard.

They should agree to meet in a neutral location but I can see ego, so much ego getting in the way of that.

10. You forgot Kim will poison Trump.
