Trump: 'There is no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea'

Source: The Hill

President Trump declared on Wednesday that North Korea no longer poses a nuclear threat to the world, offering an optimistic assessment of his summit talks with the country's leader.

Trump made the declaration in a pair of tweets as he arrived back in Washington from Singapore, where he met with Kim Jong Un for the first-ever talks between a sitting U.S. president and North Korean premier.

"Just landed - a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office," Trump tweeted. "There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea. Meeting with Kim Jong Un was an interesting and very positive experience. North Korea has great potential for the future!"

"Before taking office people were assuming that we were going to War with North Korea," he wrote in a second tweet. "President Obama said that North Korea was our biggest and most dangerous problem. No longer - sleep well tonight!"

It's all okay as long as you're a white, christian, conservative republican!!!

If you're a person of color, anything you do is suspicious and cause for immediate attack by certain groups of white people, the Klan(pretty much all the republicans from the south), the Alt-right(pretty much all the republicans not from the south), and the tokens who look at Uncle Ruckus of the Boondocks comics as a hero!!!

And just for transparency I myself am multiracial, born and raised in Hawaii, married to a white woman from Western Pa! When I first came to the mainland I was called a "sand nigger"...

And what in writing backs that statement up? Nothing. Taking either trump's or Kims word is silly after both have done nothing but lie, and make up whatever promotes their propaganda. Kim could be manufacturing 100's of new bombs , and still has both them and his delivery systems available at any time, so he is still a huge threat having his bombs , and having his delivery systems to send it anywhere in the USA , still. So this propaganda saying he's no longer a threat is bogus, and for self promotion only from trump. trump just gave in to all his demands , and has made himself look pretty weak, and again does putins bidding for him by wanting to withdraw troops to destabilize the area more for putin . Worst deal ever made by a President. Kim's bought more time now to even further his production , and stockpile even more weapons . Kim's country has never lived up to doing this, and many times they have lied.

Kim took the "great dealmaker, one of the best memories of all time" to the cleaners!! Kim is probably laughing his little arse off today. He has seen the "leader of the free world" in person, and knows for sure what a fake he is. No brains, no skills at negotiating, no awareness of his enemies. tRump THINKS he has a new tRump casino in the works. Just wait, fat boy. This orange ass owns the gop, he is their "boy", right after Putin of course who tells little Donnie what he wants, and gets it.

It is best to ignore him and focus on our own progressive positive message. See Lakoff. Repeating trump helps trump.

The Hill is owned by a Trumpster GOP billionaire. We should all be ignoring it and its crappy Trump-biased articles.

I'm glad the US and other media are not letting him get away with this. They're all remarking how he gave up everything for NOTHING.

Can't wait for his tantrum in the future or that NK pulls back from its agreements, and he looks STUPID.

Go to a map..take a good look at where North Korea is on the map. Try to get a good clear picture...

Now suppose you got that map...and are looking at it. ....look carefully....There is a small piece of land that is directly north, and somewhat west...look closely...That is ...RUSSIA.

Now..look directly West to what country borders with North Korea...On the west..is CHINA

________________________________________________________
RUSSIA has a small border with North Korea
CHINA has a HUGE!!!!!!! BORDER with North Korea...
________________________________________________________

Now those 2 countries have a lot of sway over North Korea...lots of pull, lots of say..lots of trading with
North Korea....Is it in Russia and China's best interest to have a nuclear crazy man bordering them?
...If the North Koreans really got going toward a nuclear war and that war that might affect Russia and China with significant damage from explosions and air pollution.......what do you think that those two, Russia and China would do to prevent the idiot in North Korea from starting anything....that could really affect them in a horrible way...??

Russia and China would do everything to stop the idiot North Koreans from starting such an "adventure"..Why? .Because the nuclear fall out..would hurt them a great deal...NOW...when I say....

EVERYTHING........I MEAN EVERYTHING...........

North Korean leaders, whoever they are know...know that......So..even though there were people working on a nuclear bomb in North Korea.....Russia and China would be threatened more than anyone...they would have stopped the idiot from using a bomb, with a bomb of their own...Yes, China and Russia have better bombs than North Korea...and get this (this is not 1949) ...Russia and China do not want a ....Korean War....

That would clearly be against the national interests of Russia and China... a war that close to their, "homeland"...no it ain't going to happen...(at least that is what I think)...thank you for reading this..

OK.....here is a very simple, and easy to understand map of the North and South Korea..and its sorroundings..
