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.”

There are few, if any, ‘experts’ in government.

Yeah, "leave it to the experts", because that's worked so well up to this point.

Another “expert” heard from. They have done such a great job in the past. Why not let them continue? Nothing will come of these negotiations. This is Lucy meets Lucy. There will be no Charlie Brown in this picture. Trump will not fall for Kim’s BS and will walk away. The left will blame him for this. In the unlikely event there is an agreement the details will be handled by “experts,” but not the type we have used in the past.

Sit down, Condi.

He has already made more progress than you and your boss did in 8 years.

I doubt he needs or wants your input or advice.

How has that worked in the past? Not that well!

Trump should listen and evaluate what the experts are telling him.
“There is wisdom in many counselors”.
But I want Trump in the middle of this!

Rice is one of those “experts” that couldn’t figure out how to get anything positive done, practically anywhere in the world.

Let Experts Handle North Korea Details
So says the failed Bush "expert".

Been there done that. Remember?

I was sorry to see her, the little neverTrumper, hawking her book on Lou Dobbs last night. I'm inclined to think Fox made him do it.

Condi, Condi, Condi. What a disappointment you’ve become. Your “experts” have had 50 years to fix the problem and haven’t.

Experts.

A road to certain failure.

Professionals protect themselves and their position and their continued employment.

They never solve problems, it makes them obsolete.

It really galls these people how an outsider they characterize as ignorant can accomplish these astounding international successes.

If Trump is so stupid yet mega victorious, what does that say about you?

Here on FR there was a lot of virtue signalling when it came to supporting a black woman.

She isn’t criticizing him.

Of course she is. He is too stupid to do the important stuff, he should leave that to the real experts that have screwed it up for 60 years.

Any time they use the word “nuances/nuanced/nuance”; that is cover for not having a clue.
