Just based on what I’m hearing in the news this morning: a whole lot of sizzle and not a lot of steak. Kim promised to move towards denuking (without defining what that means). We agreed to cancel war games (without telling South Korea or the Pentagon first). Nothing about sanctions, nothing about verification, nothing about diplomatic relations, nothing about human rights. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Should just be a matter of hours before he praises KJU in a way he never did Trudeau, Peña Nieto, May or Merkel. Here we go: \*President Donald Trump said Tuesday he does indeed “trust” North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “I do,” he said when asked by CNN’s Jim Acosta if he trusts Kim. “I do. I think he wants to get it done.” … President Trump praised Kim Jong Un’s ability to run a country at a young age when pressed about his comments about Kim’s brutal tactics. “He is very talented,” Trump said, citing Kim’s ability to “take over a situation like he did at 26 years of age and run it, and run it tough.” … …President Trump said that he had developed a “very special bond” with Kim Jong Un. “It’s been an honor to be with you.” When asked if he would invite Kim to the White House, Trump responded that he would: “Absolutely, I will.” … “(He’s) a worthy negotiator,” Trump said to the gathered reporters. “He’s negotiating on behalf of his people.” Trump was asked what he had learned about the North Korean leader. “I learned he’s a very talented man. I also learned he loves his country very much.”\* From here: [This was Trump's first full news conference in more than a year](https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-kim-jong-un-meeting-summit/h_5c5c68e56742022c988e31a8751e0195) ---

Seriously, how is it acceptable for the President of the United States to praise a dictator like this? Yes, what a talent! He can kill hundreds of his perceived enemies and starve millions of his own people! Maybe we can do that in the US one day! ---

> [@jsc1953](#): > > Kim promised to move towards denuking (without defining what that means). Kim has always been careful to word it as “The denuclearization of the peninsula” , which presumably means north and south. I suspect that it means that if he allows our inspectors to poke around his country, then he gets to have his inspectors poke around our military installations and weapons tech, something I don’t think the pentagon is going to be too happy with. ---

Trump and Pompeo use the same phrase – it’s always “the Korean Peninsula”, not de-nuking of the North. Is this a tacit admission that there are nukes in the South? ---

So, in the span of a day, Trump needlessly pissed off and insulted the most important of our longtime allies, while cozying up to the murderous tyrant of a tiny country and getting meaningless promises from him in a photo-op. Well done, Mr. President! ---

I thought North Korea started the “denuclearize Korean peninsula “ phrase, to bring in the potential of “no first strike” (by US) promise, if they moved toward denuclearization. I think it continues, because it’s snappy sounding. I doubt that there are actual nukes in South Korea. What would be the benefit? Also, they could be captured if North Korea (somehow) quickly overran South Korea. Lastly, I’m positive that I don’t really know what I’m talking about here. Just flapping my gums. ---

Well done, Mr. President! Trump’s modus operandi was to praise dictators (except Kim) and heap abuse on our allies. So Kim was an anomaly, but all’s right with the world now. ---

Occupy White House has agreed to stop all joint military exercises with our actual ally, South Korea. Of course the orange pile of diarrhea did not bother to discuss that with the South. The last person he talked to was KJU. Yeah, that’s turning out well. My wife, who happens to be South Korean, is not impressed either. ---

Il Douche tells us we can trust Kim, he knows him very well. Spent several hours with the man, took his measure. Like GeeDubya looked into Putin’s soul. And no, he did _not_ run screaming from the room, that’s just a story.
