North Korea calls Trump 'thoughtless' old man over tweets

[TexasTowelie]

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA -- North Korea insulted U.S. President Donald Trump again on Monday, calling him a “thoughtless and sneaky old man” after he tweeted that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un wouldn’t want to abandon a special relationship between the two leaders and affect the American presidential election by resuming hostile acts.

A senior North Korean official, former nuclear negotiator Kim Yong Chol, said in a statement that his country wouldn’t cave in to U.S. pressure because it has nothing to lose and accused the Trump administration of attempting to buy time ahead of an end-of-year deadline set by Kim Jong Un for Washington to salvage nuclear talks.

Nuclear negotiations faltered after a February summit between Trump and Kim Jong Un in Vietnam broke down when the U.S. side rejected North Korean demands for broad sanctions relief in exchange for a partial surrender of its nuclear capabilities.

Kim has said North Korea will seek a “new way” if the U.S. maintains its sanctions and pressure, and issued the deadline for the Trump administration to offer mutually acceptable terms for a deal.

3. They're taking advantage of him

Because of his failing mental state , and because they know how compromised he is by putin , and turkey, and others now. That's why trump has had to do nothing stopping his missile program and nuclear arms buildup. Putins behind this, and kim knows it.

and look for a "miraculous" breakthrough in trade with China just in time for the elections.

6. Weak, pathetic, cowardly - new us image to tin pot dictators...

"Nothing to lose" pretty much sums it up. They have zero fear of, and zero respect for us.

The winning, it hurts.

How quickly love between dictators sours.
