CIA chief says Trump aims to 'solve a problem' with North Korea talks
LA Times ^ | March 11, 2018 | Laura King

Senior administration officials expressed confidence Sunday that President Trump would not be taken advantage of by North Korea's Kim Jong Un before and during any direct talks, but critics suggested the president's impulsiveness and inexperience could spell disaster if a meeting between the two leaders proceeds as planned.

Trump would be the first sitting U.S. president to hold talks with a North Korean leader if he follows through on the decision Thursday to accept an invitation to meet with Kim. Amid rising tension over Pyongyang's nuclear and ballistic programs, the two leaders had exchanged a series of threats and insults in recent months.

All those old State Department pros have done such a great job with Iran, Libya, Syria, Mexico and every other 3rd world sh*thole in the world. Even Canada can blow those old pros away. Our foreign affairs have been handled by incompetent idiots for years.

No, they will give it to Kim Jung Un, or maybe the Olympics Comittee. TDS with the globalists is strong, it is.

These knuckleheads keep talking about “Trump’s inexperience.” No one can name any President who has negotiated more in his lifetime than Trump?

These fools fail to admit that Obama “negotiated” and gave terrorist Iran $150 billion to build nukes and ICBMs to nuke us.

Trump isn’t going there to “negotiate.” He’s going to intimidate the little bastard. The next several months will be interesting to watch.

“I have faith in Trump”.

Same here. After all, he can’t do worse than Clinton, Bush, Obama who were all slow-rolled by NOKO.

...she feared that North Korean leaders would “take advantage” of him...

I have a hard time seeing anybody taking advantage of President Trump. His political and business wake is littered with the wrecks of those who thought they could play the Donald.

if trump brokers a deal with noko to denuclearize, will he receive a nobel peace prize?

Kind of a moot point because North Korea will not denuclearize.

And a large number of them are gay I’ve been told. The DOS has become a haven for them.

“These fools fail to admit that Obama “negotiated” and gave terrorist Iran $150 billion to build nukes and ICBMs to nuke us. “

Obama had 141 days of political experience before he ran for President. When Trump was negotiating deals with the business world, Obama was pretending to go to college.

I really think people don’t understand that you just don’t put a golf course, a hotel, a country club on a piece of land in a foreign country without being involved in the politics.

“if trump brokers a deal with noko to denuclearize, will he receive a nobel peace prize?”

No, WHEN he makes a deal to denuclearlize noko, he will tell the Nobel Committee to shove their “Peace Prize” up their collective a$$es, if offered, because it ceased to be anything anyone would want after it was given to Obama simply by his being Half-Black (pronounced “AFLAC”).

“What I’m concerned about in these negotiations is we have a State Department that’s just been decimated,” Warren said. “And that really matters, because it means you don’t have the people who understand the economics, who speak the language, who know the history.”

Warren is an idiot to think departures from the State Department have depleted it’s ranks of ANY people at all “who understand the economics, who speak the language, who know the history” of North Korea and South Korea, or even just the history of negotiations with North Korea. But, Warren, like the media whore the media loves (McCain) just had to say something.

Notice also how the LAslimes article could not end with the report on the meeting between Trump and the North Korean dictator, the editor insisted on dragging in stuff about Parkland and Stormy Daniels as well. Why? Because they have something to do with North Korea? No. Because the “report” had to further it’s true purpose - an anti-Trump editorial.

I see the “impulsive and inexperienced lie” being used again.

Left is terrified that Trump will reign in Kim Fatty III. Between that and the economy - Trump will go down as a great president - and the democrats will look like fools.
