How are you ?
Ignorance is much more expensive than education. But many do not realize it. 
Just watch what Trump's ignorance is (and will cost more) costing. 
An inept clueless oaf who doesn't care is the last person who should be negotiating in such a sensitive and volatile situation! Jimmy Carter, with his background in nuclear engineering and his meticulous diplomatic skills, negotiated a successful agreement with Kim Jong-un's grandfather on behalf of the Clinton administration in 1994. Secretary of State Madeline Albright successfully continued the agreement with Kim Jong-il - in fact, when Bush* took office he asked if he couldn't continue dealing with her.
The agreement held until 2002 when Bush* violated it with his Axis of Evil pronouncement in 2002 - for their part, North Korea expected reciprocal respect. It's truly frightening to imagine what damage a careless oaf like Trump could do!
