7/9/18: Diplomacy is still a bitch (see: 7/7/18). North Korea appears to be playing the Trump team for fools.
Every U.S. president since 1950, except Donald J. Trump.
Having declared last month that North Korea was no longer a threat, Trump must now explain why they won’t just hand over their nukes. Naturally, when Trump gets in a logical jam, he tries to fight his way out in a tweet:
I have confidence that Kim Jong Un will honor the contract we
signed &, even more importantly, our handshake. We agreed to the
denuclearization of North Korea. China, on the other hand, may be exerting
negative pressure on a deal because of our posture on Chinese Trade-Hope Not!
Who could have guessed? North Korea might not honor a
“contract” or a “handshake!” China might act against U.S. interests! Who knew!
Well, besides every U.S. president since 1950, except Donald J. Trump.
Fake out, Donald!
