To persuade Kim to give up his nuclear arsenal, the U.S. president appears ready to guarantee Little Rocket Mans survival. Part of the game: trying to wean Kim away from China.

WONJU, South Korea Boy, does Donald J. Trump have a deal for Kim Jong Un! Well make you president for life if you stop annoying us with your nukes.
That was the unmistakable message from Trump as he sought to calm Kim down after North Korean threats to pull out of the projected summit in Singapore on June 12. In the process, Trump may well have shown the world precisely what hes been willing to promise the young dictator he was calling little rocket man only last year.
Trumps remarks on Thursday seemed to imply that hes not only ready to quit threatening Kim and help make him rich, but might sign a treaty that goes beyond peace to assure in some respect Kims defense. Part of the bigger picture would be to wean North Korea away from its dependence on China.
Is this just Trumps desperation for a landmark summit? Is it delusional about Beijing? Or is it Trump being Trump, tossing out ideas? One cant be sure, and on one key pointthe issue that had gotten Kim riled up earlier in the week, threatening the summitTrump appeared rather ill-informed.

(51,430 posts)the fucking moron is crazy and unpredictable/dangerous also, he is not a statesman and doesn't give a rat's ass about this country so he has no "peace plan" or foreign policy (or staff). Who the Hell knows what he will do. The only sure things from him are that he wants to ruin everything "Obama" and get the Nobel Peace Prize one way or another.

Sweet fucking Christ Gaia....I keep pleading every morning....PLEASE strike down Donald J Trump with a massive coronary event.
