Trump cancels Singapore summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un
https://www.cnbc.com/ ^ | 5/24/18

Posted on 05/24/2018 7:01:38 AM PDT by BBell

President Donald Trump has canceled his historic summit in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un next month.

The meeting, which would have marked the first face-to-face encounter between a sitting U.S. president and a North Korean leader, was set for June 12 in the southeastern Asian island city state.

"Sadly, based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it is inappropriate, at this time, to have this long-planned meeting," Trump wrote in a letter to Kim, which was released Thursday morning.

Last thing that spooked Yung fat and brought him to the table was the steady stream of bomber flybys. Time to fuel up.

[But will they get their room deposit back?]

No need to. The summit happened in November.

Nobel Peace Prize out the window.

Like President Trump cares about such things.

Hahaha.. well done! The Norks were trying to make it seem like the U.S was lucky to talk with them...They dismantled their site and Trump cancels the meeting. The next deal on the table will not be as good as the one Kim just screwed up with his rhetoric. Enjoy the sanctions Kimmy. Let us know when you’re interested in a chat

Yup. Know when to walk away. But, be sure to flaunt your vastly superior nuclear capabilities as you do.

And PS, thanks for our hostages. That was sweet of you..

““The Art of the Deal” on display.”

As elaborated in both AIPAC speeches. He really is remarkably a man of his word. He plans he understands he does not compromise.

Nobel Prize became a gag gift in 2009.

>>When I see him in the midst of some of his top generals, they look to be in their eighties.

And starving. Some look dead. And each carries approximately 20 pounds of medals. One has run out of tunic space and has medals running down his pants legs. They look and act like Alzheimers patients. I believe they are the same ones that fought the Korean War.

Trump had arranged things to be in our favor...and it was to Kim’s advantage to make a deal with Trump next month. But Kim chose poorly (to quote the ancient Crusader in the Indiana Jones movie).

So what will happen now is that Trump will turn the screws tighter on Kim (and China). China has been getting off easier because they have pushed Kim to the negotiating table...and now that turned out to be all hot air. So, after a while, little Kimmy will be back. Trump will continue to deal with Kim according to the principles in “The Art of the Deal” - never showing weakness, always maneuvering to put things in your favor, but also always leaving something on the table for the other guy.

IMHO, there will be a summit before the end of the year. Trump isn’t going to lose a negotiation to anyone, let alone a spoiled little weasel running a 4th rate POS country who has ALWAYS gotten his way because he could feed his opponents (real or imaginary) to a pack of hungry dogs, or execute them with an anti-aircraft gun. Trump ain’t those people, and he has the entirety of the resources of the wealthiest country on the planet backing him up.

No other president could ever put out a letter like that.

That's what makes Trump so special. I relish every day that he is in office.

The NORKS love their kabuki. They’ve been playing it since the DPRK was founded.

“Nobel Peace Prize out the window.”

The President doesn’t need the Peace Prize, cheapened forever by the knaves who have won it previously, and it’s paltry million dollar award.

So what “anger and hostility” did Kim supposedly show?

Loosely translated, the letter said the following:

“Dear Rocketman,

You really screwed the pooch by attacking Mike Pence. I’m pulling out of the meeting as a sign of respect to him, and to show you that you aren’t dealing with that pussy, Obama.

By the way, you missed an opportunity to receive a big bribe and to have your power guaranteed against outside threat, but you blew it.

If you take your meds and regain some degree of mental balance, we can meet in the future. But until then, we still have 3 carrier battle groups surrounding your shithole country, plus a bunch of nuclear-armed bombers that even the Russians and Chinese can’t shoot down, let alone your little pop-guns.

Sleep with one eye open.

The Donald”
