SEOUL — President Trump asserted Tuesday that his administration is making “a lot of progress” on North Korea, and he urged dictator Kim Jong Un to “make a deal” at the negotiating table on the rogue nation’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs.

“I believe it makes sense for North Korea to do the right thing, not only for North Korea but for humanity all over the world,” Trump said during a joint news conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in after a bilateral meeting at the Blue House.

“I do see certain movement, yes, but we’ll see what happens,” he added, without offering any details.

Trump’s remarks came as he prepared to deliver an address to the South Korean National Assembly on Wednesday in which advisers said he intends to call on countries to rally against the growing threat from Pyongyang. On Tuesday, he praised Chinese President Xi Jinping, whom he will meet in Beijing for a three-day summit starting Wednesday, for being “very helpful” and added that China is “trying very hard to solve the problem.” He offered hope that Russia will “likewise be helpful.” Trump has said he expects to meet Russian leader Vladimir Putin at a regional summit later in the week in either Vietnam or the Philippines.

1. Tillerson and his other Russian buddies must have convinced him it's bad for business to attack NK

No other explanation for his inflammatory rhetoric to have softened

2. He switches so smoothly from bomb bomb bomb to deal.

Fucking nutjob.

3. Is the "deal" asylum for Dolt 45 and his crew?

North Korea and the US do not have an extradition treaty. He could live the life of a King on what little liquid cash he could scrape together while defaulting on all his debt.

4. That was refreshingly sane. How odd.

6. But... Trumpy always lies.

Just because he sounds refreshing doesn't mean that he'll do something refreshing. He's a liar. Always a liar. He won't spontaneously recover from being an evil, crazy, dishonest madman.

7. He will make a shitty deal, and then look for scapegoat.
