Q: How you preparing for Xi?

Trump: “I’m very prepared, I’ve been preparing for it all my life. It’s not like, oh gee I’m going to sit down and study it. I know every detail. I know every stat, I know it better than anyone who’s ever known it, and my gut has always been right.”

And Trump really thinks these answers are taken seriously?

I'm still waiting for a reporter to ask him straight out how murdering/dismembering a journalist gets a pass as long as money keeps flowing into the U.S. And his properties??

Vile is too small a word for him...

They are not going to give in because 2 and even 6 years is nothing to them. If both our economies get drug down the US voters will reject trump. Their voter will...you get the point.

Similar to his "preparation" to speak with Kim Jong Un:

"I don't think I have to prepare very much," he said. "It's about the attitude. It's about willingness to get things done."
