Like many of her fellow citizens, the leader of South Korea’s ruling party was unhappy with President Trump’s threats to destroy nuclear-armed North Korea. But she now says Mr. Trump’s visit this month appears to have made him appreciate more fully the need to peacefully resolve the crisis.

Mr. Trump, she said, had now seen for himself that 25 million Koreans — half the South Korean population — live close to the demilitarized zone that has divided North and South since the armistice that halted the 1950-1953 Korean War.

Yet the GOP here...(not that hes a king, but you know what I mean.)
Presumably Trump explained to her that the Major Media and One Worlders were lying their heads off about Trump. Obama did everything he could to undermine our allies. Trump wants to help them if they will deal with him.
I agree with you.
“Fighting!”

Unhinged democrats/progressives/liberals start saying racist/bigoted things about East Asians in 3..2..1
I trust the people of South Korea. They went from utter destruction and poverty to first-world status in 40 years through very hard work. If 20% of Africans were like Koreans Africa would be a paradise.
