So...NK calling no-talent ass clown Mike Pence a no-talent ass clown was what cost Trump the Nobel.

White House: North Korea's response to Pence was 'last straw'

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - North Korea’s reaction to comments by U.S. Vice President Mike Pence were the “last straw” that led the White House to cancel President Donald Trump’s planned summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, a White House official said on Thursday.

North Korea’s vice foreign minister called remarks by Pence about North Korea stupid and suggested the two countries could either meet for a summit or for a nuclear showdown.

Pence said in an interview with Fox News Channel on Monday that the interaction with North Korea could “end like the Libya Model ended if Kim Jong Un doesn’t make a deal.”

The White House official said that, after the North Korean reaction to those comments, senior administration officials at the highest levels held discussions that eventually led to the cancellation of the summit.

It was easy for him to "think like a roach" when playing Trump, because they're birds of a feather. Kim didn't exploit Trump's weaknesses because he is the possessor of any great insight or wisdom...it's because Trump wears them all on his sleeve, and only those who choose not to see them don't see them (or don't care).

Pence's remarks are never ad-libbed but are carefully thought out, and he never talks without the puppetmaster's hand up his ass. He had to have said what he said with Spanky's knowledge and approval. Pence was just swinging Spanky's little dick for him. Spanky was thus either intentionally trying to provoke Kim into saying something inflammatory that would allow for an excuse to pull the plug on a meeting that he had got cold feet over, or else (and more likely) his feelings were hurt so he decided to break up with Kim so Kim couldn't be said to have broken up with him (but please call me, OK?).
