How can Trump know anything about Kim?

[extvbroadcaster]

First, Trump does not read and has no interest in history. Second, he could not tell (or lied) about his campaign staff working with Russia. He is such a judge of character? Yeah, right. How, in the first minute, when translators are going back and forth, will Trump know anything? He will smile with his phony teeth and grin for the cameras. Kim will offer some BS, which can't be verified. He won't give up nuke one. Trump, however, will give away the store. He might even pull US troops out of South Korea. He will leave Japan twisting in the wind. He doesn't care. As long as he can play the meeting up like a success he will do anything Kim wants. Some deal maker. The world has wised up to Trump. When will his "base?"

1. He gets a vibe in his (ample) gut. He's such a great negotiator that he just *knows*!

2. I'm getting so very tired

of his idiotic, stupid immoral "base" dictating what kind of country I live in. Dang!

[subterranean]

3. I don't think either side will give up anything significant in this meeting.

The photo op is all Trump needs to proclaim it the greatest diplomatic success the world has ever seen.

4. he was lying.
