Phone call Trump said he had with North Korean regime was actually with South Korea's president

( facepalm )

President Trump incorrectly described a phone call he had with South Korean President Moon Jae-in as being with someone from North Korea, a National Security Council official said Monday.

While discussing North Korea on Saturday, Trump said "they, by the way, called up a couple of days ago. 'We would like to talk.' And I said, 'So would we, but you have to de-nuke, you have to de-nuke.'" In reality, the call on March 1 was with Moon, the official told South Korea's Yonhap News Agency. "President Trump did not have a call with the North Koreans," the official confirmed. The leaders did talk about North Korea, and Moon told Trump about the envoy he was sending to Pyongyang to meet with Kim Jong Un. Catherine Garcia

1. North Korea, South Korea, What's The Difference? nt

2. When will this insanity be over?

How much longer must we endure this fool.

3. "They all look Greek to me"

4. Another day, another Trump fail.

.When you put the village idiot in charge, we all look stupid. The rest of the world is either laughing or horrified.

[enough]

5. Im getting rage fatigue. Take your pick, he doesnt know the difference, or he forgot

who he talked to, or he’s lying.

6. Well, to him and his ilk, they all look alike

So what's the difference.

When we bought our Hyundai Elantra (built in South Korea), brother of our brother-in-law, a wingnut whacko, ranted to us on Facebook about how our car was built by Communists and that we're financing a terrorist regime!

7. we are so far past the "this isn't funny any more" point

Did he make it up?

Or did he really not know the difference between the two Koreas?

Or did he really think he was talking to Kim when he was talking to Moon?

This is so upsetting and scary.

8. Embarrassment Fatigue. Such an apt

description of what I am feeling. Cannot believe that at the age of 67 I would truly rather walk into a room naked than hear of one more shameful act of this horrible, horrible man.

9. I often wish I could see what future historians will say

By then they'll have more understanding of
all the exploitable social information technologies,
and how they were abused, deforming our cultures.

11. We've had many dark periods in our history as a country, not the least of

which was slavery or our treatment of native Americans. I am amazed how historians can be very clinical in their perspective, but our descendants will need that clear-eyed view.
