Here is a man who glories in breaking the rules, because that is how he rules.
Notice, too, that in the middle of this comedy routine, Trump revealed exactly what he was planning to do with respect to North Korea. By the way, he told his audience, a couple days ago they said, We would like to talk, and I said, So would we, but you have to de-nuke, you have to de-nuke. So lets see what happens. . . . We will be meeting, and well see if anything positive happens. Not a single news outlet got the joke that this wasnt a joke.
Of course, this could all end in just the kind of train-wreck-plus-dumpster-fire predicted ad nauseam by the presidents critics. But consider, if you dare, what a future historian might one day write:
President Trump had no experience of foreign affairs, but he soon grasped how disastrously his predecessor had bungled the North Korean nuclear threat. He applied sustained pressure on Pyongyang, directly through new UN-mandated sanctions, and indirectly by menacing China with threats of military action or a trade war.
In March 2018, he stepped up the pressure by announcing new tariffs on steel and aluminium imports. These tariffs would have hurt Americas allies more than China, but Beijing got the message. Xi Jinping was well aware a trade war directed by the US against China would hurt China much more than the United States, potentially reducing Chinese exports to America by up to 20 percent.

I am still smiling from the election eve when President Trump was officially elected , I am tickled pink watching moonbat after moonbat just blather on about how terrible President Trump is for whatever reason. I am so pleased with his use of the ol’ style of “watch my left hand while my right does the real work” he is dazzling with brilliance while baffling with B.S. at the same time!
It's brilliant, and very entertaining as well!
