President Donald Trump said Tuesday he believes North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will move immediately on steps toward denuclearization and that the process is moving rapidly, according to an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity.
"I just think that we are now going to start the process of denuclearization of North Korea. I believe that he's going back and will start it virtually immediately," Trump said in excerpts of the interview broadcast on Fox after the U.S.-North Korea summit in Singapore. "And he's already indicated that."
"It's a process and it's really moving rapidly," he added.

Steady, Mr. President. Don’t over promise. This guy has perfected the Lucy pulling the football maneuver.

2. Become a pile of rubble like Hiroshima looked like at one time.

One of the biggest, and most unusual, provisions in the initial agreement is that the U.S. guarantees Kim Jong Un’s regime, which tells me that Rocket Boy literally fears for his survival for whatever reason, and it could easily be an internal reason as much as anything.

We will see.
Yup. The Donald should instruct Mad Dog to MOAB, all their nuke and ICBM facilities. Then there will be fewer inspectors and inspections required.
Good. But WE must verify, not some Pakistani. If Kim refuses to let US verify, you know it’s a sham.
And maybe some of our own folks shouldn’t sound like the Dems - always giving advice to err on the side of defeat....
