Former Obama administration official Susan Rice on Friday questioned President Donald Trump's ability to successfully execute a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and she warned an unsuccessful meeting could increase the risk of conflict.
MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell–in response to an announcement that Trump will meet with Kim in the coming months–said to Rice that while the United States doesn't necessarily have a strategy for negotiations for an upcoming meeting, North Korea does.
"What is the downside, if there is this big-flags-waving, red carpet summit and then no results?" Mitchell asked the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and national security adviser.
"I think it's very risky," Rice said. "It risks the president's credibility, the credibility of the United States, and worse still, I think it increases the risk of conflict if they go into something with very high expectations, poor preparation, and the president acting in his typically mercurial way."
"We could end up in a much worse place then we are today," Rice warned.
Rice said there are steps that could be taken to make the meeting productive, but she expressed caution in describing the meeting as "high risk" and commenting that Trump "may not have the temperament" to execute a successful meeting.
bump to that
Step back and consider that each of them is guilty on numerous counts of espionage and treason. The evidence is overwhelming & incontrovertible. So their only possible defense - not that one truly exists - it to position themselves as victims of political persecution.
As they are on record of criticizing Trump, they can try to portray subsequent legal prosecution as nothing more than petty retaliation waged against them by, you guesses, it unbalanced and vindictive tyrant.
From a defense perspective, it's actually pretty clever. From a game playing perspective, it's nothing more than the opponent figuratively tipping their king.
Sheer poetic precision.
Hey. Susie, How many skyscrapers have your name on them? Begone!
Thanks for opening up that can of worms Susan. Now about that
Senators flag ‘unusual’ Susan Rice email on Russia probe from Inauguration Day
Maybe you would like to explain that in front of congress.
Rice says SHE thinks it’s very risky.
The self-important Rice doesnt seem to understand:
“What she thinks is totally irrelevant and worthless.”
The most important thing is what President Trump thinks.
Your policy of “strategic patience” is what got us into this mess. Just shut up and go away Susan!
This is getting so tiresome.
What’s the big deal? He’ll just write a memo to himself a few weeks later that the meeting went really well.
Now that the professional liar, 0bama ass-kisser and Progressive numbnuts Susan Rice has spoken there’s really no need to hear from anyone else!
Ah, so THAT’s the strategery behind Ebola’s all-surrender all-the-time negotiating — you can’t mess up if you lose concentration. Cagey, very cagey!
Just a new Dem Memo. Bill Richardson spouting the same crap.
The communist scumbags are still large and in charge.
Trump has been a bust.
Lock her up?
The whole gang of arch criminals are rolling in dough, Shrillary and the Kenyan and his ape wife are laughing their way to the bank.
Not a SINGLE ONE of the OBAMA/KLINTOON crime family are in any sort of legal jeopardy.
Cohn and Mnuchin have done a GREAT job at raising my effin taxes though.
Time to wake up and face reality.
Trump has 2 options.
Fight or surrender
Trump said from the beginning that if he didn’t win, this would be a complete waste of time.
Well he did win and it is still a complete waste of time.
The only thing actually accomplished to date, a middle class tax “cut” that expires in 5 years, was the whole point of Goldman Sachs Mnuchin and Cohn stealing deductions from W-2 workers to pay off the national debt and fully fund Social Security.
Big win for corporations and the rich, notice how the mieskeits are now slinking away, mission accomplished.
Spurring corporate activity and making american corporations competitive could have been accomplished by just cutting the corporate rate to 21%.
The middle class is going to pay so much more in taxes when the “cuts” expire in 5 years, coupled with increased revenue from corporate activity, that the DC scumbags won’t know what to do with all of the cash.
Federal Workers will be getting three times what the private sector workers get instead of only double like they do now.
Trumps pic for AG promptly surrendered control of the DOJ to the Obama holdovers.
Question
Why are there any Obama holdover political appointees left at all?
Notice how the CPUSA via the KLINTOONS and HUSSEIN OBAMA manged to purge all U.S. Attorneys.
Trump can’t even replace a TREACHEROUS AG.
14 months into the Trump Presidency, the water level in the Swamp remains HIGH.
Trump won Florida by just over 100,000 votes.
He is almost guaranteed to lose the State in 2020 and not be reelected.
2018 looks to be a blood bath, the communists will MAKE SURE they take the House, by any means necessary.
SHRILLARY, HUSSEIN OBAMA , and their COHORTS remain free, wandering around unfettered engaging in SUBVERSION and TREASON.
Meanwhile, in the most ridiculous turn of events in American History, a CORRUPT Special Counsel has been appointed by the TRAITOR ROSENSTEIN to OVERTHROW the President, while the arch criminal Hussein Obama Administration and his SOS still run the show.
Trump is completely dumbfounded by Sessions the TRAITOR who surrendered control of the DOJ back to the communists immediately after being confirmed.
“A lot of bad things happened on the other side, not on this side, but on the other side. And somebody should look into it, because what they did is really fraudulent and somebody should be looking into that and by somebody, I’m talking about you know who,” Trump told Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, a reference widely interpreted to mean Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Really?
I expected Trump to act like Pinochet, not like a bitch scared of Impeachment.
The very first essential for success against communists is a perpetually constant and regular threat of force.
Drop a MOAB on Congress.
Problem solved.
Maybe President Trump should go on TV and blame a bogus video 24/7..Susan Rice, another ass clown that belongs in JAIL
Susan Rice needs to step out in front of a speeding bus
Affirmative Action moron.
Now let’s see, who do we trust in a high-level negotiation, a known liar and incompetent whose State Department lit the entire Middle East on fire in 2011, or a guy who has been doing business negotiations since the liar was in diapers? Any guesses?
I’ll be darned if I know what these Obama people think makes them so smart. You’d think after watching the economy be miraculously turned around in 8 months they’d STHU.
Andrea Mitchell and Susan Rice - two very dullards trying to sound smart and failing.
