Trump says he'll have second meeting with Kim Jong Un 'quite soon'

NEW YORK — President Trump said Monday he expects to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “quite soon,” expressing optimism that his efforts to negotiate a denuclearization deal are still on track.

Trump told reporters here at the U.N. General Assembly that the talks are “moving very well” and that the two sides are making “tremendous progress,” even though he had abruptly canceled a visit from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Pyongyang earlier this month.

“We have many things in store,” Trump said. He noted Kim had sent him a letter requesting a second meeting. “We’ll be doing that,” he said.

Trump has alternated between optimism and frustration since his historic June summit with Kim in Singapore, where the two sides announced plans to work toward a general goal of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula. But that agreement lacked details, and the Trump administration has grown impatient with the Kim regime’s lack of engagement.

Kim can't believe his good fortune that Trump would accept another invitation after he made Trump the laughing stock of the world the last time. He gets to show his starving people that he can make Trump look like a complete fool not once, but twice!

Trump really wants that Nobel Prize! What a dope.

And I could have sworn I heard Nikki Haley stating (gosh was it only yesterday?) that Pompeo would have to have "at least" several more meetings ... But, hey .. what would she know?

And he's too stupid and narcissistic to realize it. He thinks that he's his "special friend". I just want to puke.
