It’s all about positioning and posturing when doing these type of deals. President Trump is a master of negotiating contortions. Best said is just watch and learn......forget any Media “analysis.” They haven’t a clue.
Kim has long wanted to be important. He could be, now, by the grace of God through Donald Trump. Trump is magnanimous enough to give even a scalawag a chance to make good. I pray it works.
I thought that envelope might have contained some tasty buds — a truly poignant peace offering.
I would have invited them back for a private dinner with just my wife and Pompeos wife and a few diplomats- brought in the grandkids etc
It reminds me of the story of him elevating a doorman to a very successful higher position in his company.
Also think of all the experience he has dealing with the mob and unions thugs in NYC He knows how to deal with the worst of them
Yes he sees potential and is an encourager He certainly has experience mentoring people.
If anyone can do it OUR president has the background and skills
Pray that it is so!
Significant. The fifteen minute drop the letter by, turns into a two hour meeting.
I think you mean Iran. But yeah
Trump might have asked Kim if he’d like to get a Nobel peace prize, by giving up the nukes and the cultic police state. Giving him a way to walk away from hell.
Kim lived a life of wealth under an assumed name when going to school in Switzerland. He had a girl friend (his father made him give her up). He could travel the continent and lived a very free lifestyle. I imagine he misses it. Having to become the leader of the poorest country maybe on earth with many people out to get you is a living hell.
Survival of the meanest.
I’m certain anything they work out would be better.
There’s a book out years ago where the hero (while in Asia ) was given a beautifully decorated “love letter” manuscript declaring friendship from another character. Am wondering if this is what DJT received. If so it’s a great honor!
Not so, ANGRIA!
In typical Trumpian fashion, he's placed himself in a no-lose situation.
They think it's a flaw, when it's actually a feature.
Here’s an interesting take on it. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1002664653959278592.html
They’re dreaming.
Most people may not know that Kim Jong-un went to school in Switzerland where he was well liked by his classmates. A chubby kid who participated in plays and loved basketball. He knows the West and very likely has long dreamed of liberating his inherited kingdom. He’s probably never been the evil power over there... he serves at the pleasure of the generals who are the power behind the scene... or were the power, if say something unfortunate happened to them. That part we don’t know, but someone on our side does.
Thanks, listening to the media gives me a head ache.......
We, the American people, are cashing in on Big Don's ability to wheel and deal.
If there is no peace treaty, maybe their back-up nominee will be Bashar al-Assad.
