TEL AVIV—President Donald Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un got “on his hands and knees and begged” for their summit to be held after Mr. Trump canceled it last month.

[Boomer]

This has to be the most irresponsible thing I've ever heard coming out of the Trump Administration. Does Rudy have a substance problem or something?

[Lent]

Oh boy.

[jazminerose]

Great way to let Kim save face.

Rudy’s been a mess since he came on board. The rumor is he drinks a bit.

[Fido969]

Rudy, would you STFU.

[InterceptPoint]

Yes. Very unwise Rudy.

[TangoLimaSierra]

WSJ trying to tank the talks?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Agreed.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Rudy I like you man but seriously STFU ok please don’t ruin this

[Sivad]

I think he was brought aboard to make Donald seem more
measured.

[Simon Foxx]

Rudy is coming off like a loose cannon lately. Does he not think the N Koreans monitor what the administration officials say? This is beyond moronic. Some of his rhetoric vis-a-vis Mueller has given me pause, but there he can’t do nearly as much harm as in this case...

[pfflier]

That's my opinion too. That is a dumb thing to say as you are entering negotiation with a megalomaniac.

That being said, the lsm has constantly and chronically mis-stated and mis-characterized the administations comments. That could certainly sabatage the talks if this were the case.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Rudy has not been a help these past few months. Trump needs to pull him off TV entirely.

[dead]

The Rudy experiment has failed spectacularly. Thank him for his service and put him out to pasture.

[DoughtyOne]

I’m not real pleased with some of his comments of late.

There’s a lot riding on this summit, and saving face is a big deal to Asians.

What’s Giuliani trying to do, nix the meeting?

WTH?

[1Old Pro]

Can’t believe this is unscripted.

[Will88]

They all really need to can this sort of talk. They should all know that saving face is very important in Korea and most all Asian nations. If they keep this junior high playground talk going Kim might decide he’s tired of the insults and chest thumping.

They need to STFU and hold the meeting, then proceed from there.

[rktman]

Will somebody plz shove a ball gag in his pie hole?🙀🍰

[The Toll]

He may have just blown this whole thing WTH?

[US_MilitaryRules]

I think he needs to back to identifying as a woman again. STFU rudy!

[Boomer]

I’m wondering if his words were taken out of context somehow but then I think; who would say something like this to any journalist - or what passes for journalists these days.
