Trump says North Korea may be planning nice ‘Christmas gift’

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un may be planning to give him “a nice present” such as a “beautiful vase” for Christmas rather than a missile launch.

The president was asked what he will do if North Korea does conduct a long-range missile test.

The North has threatened to take unspecified action if sanctions are not eased by the end of the year, and speculation has centered on the possibility of a new missile test, possibly of an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of delivering a nuclear warhead.

The North has said that its “Christmas gift” to the United States will depend on Washington’s actions.

Why isn't Kimmy worried about what kind of Christmas gift he's going to get from us, or hasn't anyone bothered to ask him? Clinton's and Obama's deconstruction of the U.S. military has reaped untold rewards for every commie crook on the planet. Now they threaten to bomb us to get more financial assistance. That's how we ended up with LBJ's "Great Society". Paying off the rabble to stop burning the cities. We've been paying them ever since. Now they want reparations.

Every missile they launch, is one less missile they have.

Par for the course. Kim Jong Un murdered his brother ((Malaysia—10 man team) and uncle (Pyongyang) and sent about 500 already to their deaths in purges over the last 8 years (military and party), he most certainly knew about Otto Warmbier, he signs off on Christians in horrid concentration camps in the northeast bordering China under terrible conditions. Two faced LIAR never to be trusted. No deal with them will ever hold. We’ve now learned in the last 18 months it is true while they perfected their systems and never dismantled what they promised to dismantle. Now more threats and extortion and bad behavior—nothing new.

Washington Times 11 December:

(Snip)
“ A high-level defector from Kim Jong-un’s regime has sent a letter to President Trump warning that he has been “tricked” into believing the North Korean leader will ever denuclearize and that Washington should instead ramp up a “psychological warfare campaign” aimed at inspiring North Korea’s elites to replace the young dictator from within.

The U.S. should simultaneously impose “all-out sanctions” against Pyongyang and be prepared to carry out a “preemptive strike” against Mr. Kim’s nuclear sites, according to the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Times.“

Trump would be a lot farther along in handling the NK “situation” if it weren’t for the impeachment circus the demons have created for the past 3 years. The world thinks SGPDJT might be removed any minute so why negotiate with him. I know it’s Christmas, but as Gutfeld says “I hate these people”.

There is no credence. The (now more than confirmed) North Korean cheating post-Singapore started even two months before Singapore—as has been recently revealed ie their mobile launch vehicle production. It was **well** in place months before the June 2019 Ukraine call. Not so fast. Blame can’t be placed there. (Though it doesn’t surprise me at all for it to be trotted out). This can only be blamed on the inherent dishonest nature of DPRK and that they were appeased for months, including waving the SRBM launches to perfect missile /apogee/elevation trajectory to defeat THAAD missile defense and work many was to bust sanctions. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Interpretive holes in the rushed Singapore agreement text big enough to drive smuggled Mercedes Benz’ through also fed their confidence and dishonesty.

I think we should shoot down any launch from NK and label it self defense.
