More North Korea, under the leadership of Kim Jong Un, will become a great Economic Powerhouse. He may surprise some but he won’t surprise me, because I have gotten to know him & fully understand how capable he is. North Korea will become a different kind of Rocket - an Economic one! 13,540 replies 10,890 retweets 46,034 likes Reply 14K Retweet 11K Like 46K

My representatives have just left North Korea after a very productive meeting and an agreed upon time and date for the second Summit with Kim Jong Un. It will take place in Hanoi, Vietnam, on February 27 & 28. I look forward to seeing Chairman Kim & advancing the cause of peace!

I wouldn’t call it buttering him up. I think Trump is genuinely trying to motivate Kim to become productive in a positive way. DJT is very big on the Win-Win style of negotiating IMO.

He is a Salesman. He’s going to meet Kim and Vietnam, he’ll probably casually mention how Vietnam used to be a bitter enemy oh, and look how good they’re doing now.
And Kim, all you have to do....

Trump is doing with North Korea what his greatest immediate predecessor Ronald Reagan did with the Soviet Union. He is ending an evil regime without firing a single shot, merely by appealing to the leaders’ better nature.

And that he is dealing with North Korea makes it all the more impressive, even.
