Trump compliments North Korea’s ‘brilliant potential’ after canceling meeting

President Trump on Sunday praised North Korea’s “brilliant potential” just days after pulling out of his planned meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Trump tweeted that the White House pre-advance team had arrived in North Korea to make arrangements for the summit in the event that it does happen.

“Our United States team has arrived in North Korea to make arrangements for the Summit between Kim Jong Un and myself,” he tweeted. “I truly believe North Korea has brilliant potential and will be a great economic and financial Nation one day. Kim Jong Un agrees with me on this. It will happen!”

(TWEET-AT-LINK)

A U.S. delegation traveled to North Korea on Sunday to prepare for the possible summit, just days after Trump sent a letter to Kim announcing he was canceling the meeting, which was planned for June 12. Trump on Friday suggested that the summit could still happen on the 12th. But a White House official told reporters that it was “unlikely” the meeting could take place that day, given the necessary preparations.

This will be our best and perhaps only chance to get a part of the world on course. A 65 year old war is ridiculous.

Hot or Cold is becoming (or has always been) Trump’s signature move.

If you’re against him you’re a slime, dirtbag and you earn a nickname. If you’re for him you’re brilliant, a shining example a worthy partner.

He’s really pouring it on to Kim Jun I because Trump recognizes a conceited arrogant petulant opponent who’s problems beg for flattery.

With Trump, It’s possible that the U.S can become NoKo’s best friend and starts down the yellow brick road of Unification.

I’ve expressed my thought other threads. United Korea is going to be a powerful, strategically located, economic powerhouse. Look at all SK has accomplished in the past few decades, and how nicely its people excel and assimilate. If that North Korea market opens to SK and they have access to NK’s military might and its population’s discipline, what country will be stronger? Do we really want a united Korea that doesn’t consider the US as its strong ally? Take out the map. Russia with all of its resources would step right in.

Aside from buying German and French loyalty, I suspect some of that pallet cash found it's way back into the bank accounts of US politicians, donors, top FBI/CIA/NSA brass and the leftist media.

Basically, the pallet cash is to buy off politicians globally, hush money to look the other way as islam invades and conquers Europe and elsewhere.

Ask Tommy Robinson what happens when you try to stand up to it. Nobody knows where he is. Sharia in Britain has sentenced him to death.

I think he’s going to pull them away from China and into the Pacific Alliance via reunification with the South.

All they need is amnesty from crimes against humanity. That would make it a done deal.

It certainly is a departure from Clinton, Bush and Obama (and their FP advisors) approaches to NK. Unconventional. Carrots, immeditely followed by sticks, then carrots again. And so on and so on. Jury is still out. And/but let us for gawd sakes hope it works. There is a lotttttttt riding on this thing.

I do think China will be a major impediment to a NoKo SoKo reunification. They may even go as far as to have Kim replaced either through assassination or coup d’état — which will end with Kim Jong Il executed with a flamethrower stuffed up his bum and his genitals stuffed in his mouth.

Why would China care?

A reunified Korea will instantly be communist; both leaders are communist to the core.

You can just hear the desperation in the voices of the Marxist State Media that Trump may succeed where the Magic Negro, Benghazi Clinton and Horseface Kerry-Heinz failed so miserably!!!!

I can appreciate your comments about many in the media.
I can assure you, however, that there are many other voices who have followed North Korea for years and know what they are still up to, and they do not want ••phony, meaningless, unenforceable agreements•• and they are far from being “Marxists.”

The media thinks we have roughly 325 million presidents, and one palace target.

Vietnam is commie, and China has troubles with it they don’t want to have with a united Korea.
China wants to develop ports in NK, to expand Chinese trade (especially Alaska oil) and support it’s navy. And some of those NK workers for it’s industry.

I think by now China must be aware that Korea is beyond their control, and will become their worst headache soon.

United Korea takes the US out of the picture due to terms of the armistice.
