Condoleezza Rice to Donald Trump: Let Experts Handle North Korea Details
Breitbart ^ | 05/01/18 | Joel Pollak

Posted on 05/02/2018 6:35:17 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Tuesday morning that President Donald Trump should not engage directly in the details of negotiation with North Korea.

“First of all, don’t try to negotiate the details with Kim Jong-un,” Rice told Fox & Friends. “Leave that for people who understand all the nuances of the situation.”

Rice noted that she was the last American to negotiate with the North Korean regime, when she was dealing with Kim Jong-un’s father, Kim Jong-il.

“You have to give the [Trump] administration a lot of credit,” she said, for pressuring China to rein in the Kim regime and for using the threat of military force to isolate North Korea.

However, she said, the president should leave the nuts-and-bolts of diplomacy to others, even though he would be meeting directly with Kim Jong-un at a summit in the coming weeks. And she warned that the Kim regime was still a murderous one with a track record of breaking its promises.

Rice said she supported the Trump administration’s move toward pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal.

“I actually think if we pull out now, it is not going to be the disaster everybody is talking about,” she said. “I would not have signed this deal. I don’t think it was a very good deal. I think we were in a hurry to get a deal and we left a lot on the table. … If we get out of this deal, it is going to be just fine.”

Asked whether she wanted to leave the Iran deal, Rice said: “I would probably have stayed in for alliance management purposes but … if the president decides to pull out of the deal I have no argument with that.”

Condi, go take a piano lesson.

You and your kind haven't done squat for 30 years, and now you want to stick your nose in this and f*ck it up.

Deep State is more afraid of President Trump's success and credit than they are of North Korea.

So Condi was the last “ Expert” to negotiate . . .

And that’s her argument for more of the same?

What’s that expression about doing the same thing over and over. . . .?

I believe Condaleeza Rice should leave it to herself to STFU.

The unbridled arrogance of these globalists is astounding. They constantly crow about their “expertise” while ignoring the countless failures of their ridiculous ideas and policies.

Yeah, cuz they’ve done such a great job so far.

Wasn’t it the Kennedy/Johnson “Brain Trust” of “experts” who dug us into Vietnam?

Not bad advice - but VERY bad form to say this publicly.

The nuts and bolts are very legalistic - and President Trump has long, long experience in using lawyers to sort out legal issues. For her to say this in public is admitting she is astounded, but that she harbors no trust for the man who made the miracle of North Korean turn-about possible.

She, therefore, is a major manifestation of the problem.

Go clean up the NFL before you give advice to the Big Man. Your track record isn’t anywhere near stellar: Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iran, North Korea, etc.

Agree. She is an idiot as Trump has nuke experts and you name it who will advise him. He damn sure did not make his money by not having expert advisors.

And if anyone needed a piano lesson, it is Condi. Worst piano player in America. Makes Chico Marx look like Arthur Rubenstein.

This says more about DS “FAUX” News than even Condi, that they would dig her up to put out this spew.

Conservatives have no friends in today’s world. I didn’t realize DJT was one until he proved it to me. I still struggle with someone who seems so clearly Conservative and American in so many ways, yet loves New York!
