“As others have pointed out, Trump may well understand the thug mind better than most (if not all) career diplomats. Wining and dining Kim may be an effective way to bend him to his will. Kim has already demonstrated a soft spot for celebrities (e.g., Rodman).”
What I have been saying since Trump started his run for President is that Trump has been around this game for over 30 years. As an owner of an international construction company, Trump has to know global, regional and local politics. It is part of the risk assessment on whether to build and can it be sustainable based on the present and potential future environment.
In reality, Trump has more knowledge of international politics than most of congress.
