Trump on NK nukes: "I have solved that problem. That problem is largely solved."



But Trump recalled that when he came to office last year, his predecessor Barack Obama had warned that North Korea’s growing missile and nuclear threat was the United States’ “most dangerous problem.”

“I have solved that problem,” Trump told reporters. “Now we’re getting it memorialized and all, but that problem is largely solved.

“We signed a very good document,” he added. “But more importantly than the document, I have a good relationship with Kim Jong Un.

“We have a great chemistry together.”

and it becomes fact, or at least what passes for fact in this fucked-up age.

Trump has no idea what's going on in the world. He lives inside a bubble so dense that he cannot perceive reality.

What will he do when faced with a real crisis? How will he handle things when reality comes calling? He scares me profoundly.

Idiot hairdo. Ridiculous tie. Out of his depth and out of his mind. Fucking ancient toddler.

And what the fuck is up with Kim Jumpsuit's preferred hairdo, too?

Because there was nothing to solve. NK has had nukes for awhile. If they use them they will be glowing in the dark. No more American movies and culture for Kim. No more Kim. Kim knows that, which is why he was never going to do anything and neither was the Orange Maggot. It was all kabuki theater and MSM fueled hysteria.

Which was basically, "unless I'm wrong, and if so, I'll just deny I ever said that"

He hadn't slept in a few days, so he forgot to lie for a minute there.
