A South Korean newspaper reports that Kim Hyok Chol, who led working-level negotiations for the summit in Hanoi between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Trump in February, was executed with four other North Korean foreign ministry officials in March, according to Bloomberg.

Kim emboldens him. He is learning from him. Just like his other autocratic despot pals.

(180 posts)I believe these so-called summits with Kim are intelligence drops from Trump. The same with the Helsinki summits with Putin. Trump may be giving Kim and Putin names of people within their circle who have given information to the US. Basically Trump is a spy. Pretty sure Mueller and Nancy Pelosi knows that he doing this. Also, this could be what Pelosi was referring to when she said Trump was 'becoming self-impeachable'.
