This is not a Nixon to China moment. Trump is playing way out of his league and the world knows it. Kim knows it. Much can go very wrong and Trump wont read a briefing book. Going to be interesting and extremely dangerous. Kim will give him a parade and have his mind/heart.

(7,434 posts)with the best memory and all the rest. One of his weakest spots is his superior vanity. Kim is well aware of how he can make a fool of Trumpy, who thinks he knows all he needs to know without any background, any briefings, any foreign policy expertise.
And the GOP fiddles with its collective butthole.

(54,770 posts)But you are right. trump would return if it were in NK and want to put on an even biller parade. Our troops would have to learn to goose step and wear big, silly hats.

(1,702 posts)Invite that F'n Moron in the WH to meet. We need a distraction from the Russian investigation. It's getting too close to our man in the Oral Office.
Kim Jun: Ok but I need more oil.
Vladdy: On its way, US will never stop the ships now.
Kim Jun: Thanks
Vladdy: No problem. When you and tRUMP are watching the parade, whisper this secret word to him:
"PeePee".
Kim Jun: Ok, what does it mean.
Vladdy: Don't worry he knows and you will get whatever you want. It's our code word that means MUCH more than what it says.

(12,595 posts)Being cut from the same cloth, Kim knows all the buttons to push to manipulate Trump in any direction he wants. Hell, Trump will probably end up building a golf course in North Korea.

(23,158 posts)Jong Un saw what happened with drumpf and China where Xi totally rolled him by giving his daughter 100 trademarks. He will 100% follow suit. drumpf will go along with this because all he cares about is himself. Give him $$ and he will do anything at all.

Pobeka
(4,999 posts)I think this a very strategic move by Kim.
He has a true maniac threatening war with N. Korea, a war N. Korea is guaranteed to lose.
The threat is even more dire because of Mueller's investigation, which corners Trump and is more likely to pull the "do not question a president during a war" card.
What Kim needs is time for the Mueller investigation to play out.
So Kim, has very effectively removed the war card from Trump's hand. Kim does not have to change a policy for at least a year. Mueller is done before then.

(12,165 posts)Look forward to pictures of Trump and Kim holding hands and raising them high above their heads in victory. If he thought Duterte from the Philippines was peachy keen, he's going to love Kim.
