HOLY CRAP! Trump has gotten N Korea
to get rid of it's nukes. Trump did what
no other president could. Wow..


HOLY CRAP! Is Fox News reporting this or something?

Cause every other news source is saying the two dictators are simply going to meet sometime before May. I am truly baffled as to how that equals NK getting rid of their nukes.

Was watching a Scott Adams video from when
S Korea was making the announcement live.
Adams was so overcome with emotion he
couldn't speak and ended the video with
no words because his voice was choked up.

I must admit, I'm amazed at all this. Some
are calling it as big as Reagan's 'tear down
that wall' and the fall of the USSR. We could
get a united Korea out of this, thanks to
Trump. Incredible.

I think Kim may be playing Trump
I would be surprised if the 2 actually meet.

Do you think they'll award the Nobel Prize to someone in prison for treason?

May?

For one thing, if I were a world leader and wanted to meet Kim prior to any talks and without any deals to sign, I'd pick a neutral third country like Malasia or Cambodia. Trump is a turd, but his office holds enormous prestige. Of course he's going to squander it.

"I explained to President Trump that his leadership, and his maximum pressure policy, along with international solidarity, brought us to this juncture," South Korean national security adviser Chung Eui-yong told reporters after meeting with Trump at the White House."

It's the Asian art of flattery. They know how to deal with guys like Trump , they've been doing it for thousands of years.

Does it matter which side governs the reunified nation?

Kim's Springtime Sonata #1 for Trump and orchestra, Kim Jong Un featured Trump soloist.

The Trump, or empty barrel, is a fleshy percussion instrument, usually painted orange, that is slapped forcefully and repeatedly until it gives up by declaring victory. Not many composition are made for it, as it is regarded as having an unpleasant sound.

Didn't they already do that once with Mandela?

Listening to the stories of the steelworkers
who were at the signing with Trump was
heart wrenching. These are mostly union
Dems and they are thrilled beyond measure
at what Trump is doing. 500 jobs here, 300
jobs somewhere else, 400 jobs in another
place. It's a snowball rolling downhill and
picking up speed. One company in KY said
it's investing $100mil in opening a new plant
that will mean hundreds of jobs. MAGA
