Trump cancels Singapore summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un
CNBC ^

Posted on 05/24/2018 6:52:24 AM PDT by bryan999

President Donald Trump wrote a letter to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un saying that their planned summit next month in Singapore was cancelled.

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 the letter, which was released Thursday morning.

Beautifully executed response!

Kim boxed himself in and Pres. Trump simply describes the boundaries of the box back to him and how sad he is that Kim lives in a box.

The NORKs should make a small gesture of good faith before any future negotiations are planned to compensate any expenses incurred from the last attempts. A modest financial contribution to border wall construction would be nice.

Hey, I love the way Trump signs his signature.

It’s like the signature of a AAA type personality . . . on steroids . . . X10.

Either that, or he has a serious grudge against Sharpies.

Iirc little ,Kim went to school in Switzerland. Maybe a nice villa there would encourage him to leave ,NK forever.

“Am I missing something here?”

Yep, ya did!

As Charlie Brown was starting to run toward the ball he noticed that Lucie was tensing to snatch the ball away. Instead of taking a swinging kick at the moving ball Charlie turned away and walked away from the field!

I’ve done this several times in contract negotiations during the 1980’s until the 1910’s. It’s a tactic that works wonderfully!

Note that Trump has been signaling this move for several weeks in hopes that Little Rocket Man would stay on the straight and narrow! Trump is not BJC, Maddie Halfbright, Carter, Obama, Hillary, or John F’n Kerry. Kimmy read the signals wrong! Too bad, so sad......

Trump must care somewhat. When some house republicans made the nomination he didn’t bat down the idea. When a crowd in Michigan began chanting no-be, no-bel, he joined in. Yeah, he doesn’t care.
