BELOVED LEADER. Trump Just Showed His Cards on the North Korea Nuke Deal

[DonViejo]

To persuade Kim to give up his nuclear arsenal, the U.S. president appears ready to guarantee Little Rocket Man’s survival. Part of the game: trying to wean Kim away from China.

WONJU, South Korea — Boy, does Donald J. Trump have a deal for Kim Jong Un! We’ll make you president for life if you stop annoying us with your nukes.

That was the unmistakable message from Trump as he sought to calm Kim down after North Korean threats to pull out of the projected summit in Singapore on June 12. In the process, Trump may well have shown the world precisely what he’s been willing to promise the young dictator he was calling “little rocket man” only last year.

Trump’s remarks on Thursday seemed to imply that he’s not only ready to quit threatening Kim and help make him rich, but might sign a treaty that goes beyond peace to assure in some respect Kim’s defense. Part of the bigger picture would be to wean North Korea away from its dependence on China.

Is this just Trump’s desperation for a landmark summit? Is it delusional about Beijing? Or is it Trump being Trump, tossing out ideas? One can’t be sure, and on one key point—the issue that had gotten Kim riled up earlier in the week, threatening the summit—Trump appeared rather ill-informed.

1. We will see ...

[BigmanPigman]

2. The problems are that

the fucking moron is crazy and unpredictable/dangerous also, he is not a statesman and doesn't give a rat's ass about this country so he has no "peace plan" or foreign policy (or staff). Who the Hell knows what he will do. The only sure things from him are that he wants to ruin everything "Obama" and get the Nobel Peace Prize one way or another.

3. Everyone needs to remember this when the war on the Korean Peninsula reignites...

I propose now that the war be known forever as Trump's tragedy. This ass clown is going to start more than one shooting war because of his ego and lack of intellect or attention span.

Sweet fucking Christ Gaia....I keep pleading every morning....PLEASE strike down Donald J Trump with a massive coronary event.

[Ilsa]

4. All of those people who criticized

Bill Clinton for using inducements like this to stop nuclear proliferation should have to eat their shoes.

8. but this time, they'll say it's okay

since Trump is completely honest and above board about everything

[sdfernando]

5. OK mr Spanky McStumpy, apparently you don't know so let me clue you in

Kim Jun Un is already President for life. Geez, you're offering him something he already has. Yeah, that's certainly an "art of the deal". Good luck with that!

[msongs]

6. the US has a long history of propping up evil dictators. nothing new here nt

[mwooldri]

7. No good. Next US president can renege on the deal.

Trump proves that the word of the United States means nothing.

[NewJeffCT]

9. so, does this mean we'll put a few divisions of troops

on the boarder between China and North Korea?

Just another overseas military expenditure, nothing to see here.
