Nothing private about the trip. Everything that failed marxist does is political.

Probably the happiest thing would be for the Norks to hold Jimmuh “hostage” to demand concessions from the US. Maybe even to create an embarrassing show trial of Jimmuh as a “war criminal”, for some imagined slight.

They could give him a job as tour guide aboard the U.S.S. Pueblo. Jimmy would probably like that, being ex-navy and all.

No private U.S. citizen goes to North Korea without an official entry visa from the Norks.

The ol’ fixaroo was in from the get go courtesy of the WH.

Jimmah Carter stirs up hatred wherever he goes. I’ll bet the ROK Army is on high alert while he is there. Wonder just what ideas he’ll be feeding to the little riceball dictator in Pyongyang.
