I doubt that he is unable to imagine acting differently.
Trump reminds me of a guy who, after one coffee date and dozens of requests asking for a real one, says “I think we should see other people.”
I never thought that I would post something in favor of Donald Trump, but I believe that is unfair.

On a personal note, it makes me sick to see the perennial draft evader speaking at my alma mater (in the video on that page, which doesn’t appear to have the slightest thing to do with the story).
He was guaranteed a friendly reception (else he wouldn’t have spoken there), because no one would dare protest the Commander-in-Chief, even if he’s a sleazebucket.
Not yet, but wait until he invades Belgium.
North Korea really wants this meeting. Trump’s opening play to walk away lead to North Korea saying we still want to meet and dynamiting their nuclear mountain.
There could be an excellent economic opportunity here. South Korea’s organization combined with North Korea very cheap labor could be a winner for the USA. Let them make the cheap goods that China sells to us.
China doesn’t trade fair, okay, we’ll buy from someone else who can while at the same time offering a safer world if North Korea agrees to give up is nuclear ambitions. A win-win. North Korea is very poor, they need jobs and $
To sweeten the deal for Mr. Kim, why not a month’s vacation for a Korean delegation at one of Trump’s golf courses. Koreans love golf, you know.
Sounds so simple.
They’re going to make some agreement that does nothing and isn’t enforceable. Trump will claim that he initiated world peace in our time. His supporters will clamor for him to win the Nobel Prize. Rational people will point out that the agreement doesn’t do anything. Trump supporters will yell “fake news”.
Explain, please, Sir Plant.
I don’t believe that he will invade Belgium. Poland, maybe.
Belgium, France, we still got the maps.
So few words, so many fact-free assertions. They dynamited their nuclear mountain after Trump walked away, when everyone who pays attention to anything, including this thread, knew the mountain was collapsing weeks, or even months ago.
The Koreans could have used the destruction of the mountain as part of the T’s and C’s of the deal. By destroying it after Trump’s initial walk away, I think it was a positive sign they are ready to make a deal.
Once this historic meeting happens, it will be interesting to see how the left accepts it.
The time for change is now, and the right president who understands peace is best made through strength ( Like Reagan ) is directing it.
“Once this historic meeting happens”…is when the fun really begins.
Or it was a little theater to cover the little problem that they’d already destroyed it during their last test. They couldn’t use it anymore anyway. Might as well make the best of it.
Even if they really did demolish it (there was no real verification of the state of the tunnels before the demolition, or that the whole thing was rigged with explosives, or that the tunnels were inaccessible after the blast), unilaterally destroying evidence is not necessarily something to view as a concession.
Kim probably stuffed it full of relatives before he lit the fuse.
Seriously, a country can test nukes wherever the hell they want. The only significance of the mountain is that it was a secret nuke site. It gave them some cover. They could find another mountain in which to dig tunnels and rig nuclear explosives. It’s not that hard, not a big deal. We’re gullible if we really and truly believe that he’s de-nuking because of an abandoned test site. It’s no different than an abandoned mine. Just build another. Within months.
Did you miss, yet again, that the mountain was already destroyed? This shit has already been covered, do keep up.
Given Trump’s “amazing” deal making, I’m guessing Trump Tower Pyongyang will be a go, and we’ll be providing nuclear weapons TO North Korea.
“Strength” - along with illegal weapon sales to terrorists, senility, and yelling about walls. Sounds delightful.
That’s not really known. Part of it collapsed, but we don’t know how much. It could have just been one of the cavities where a detonation occurred, leaving the rest of the complex intact. (Mind you, we also don’t know what they demolished.)
