Trump: Kim wants to meet again, apologized for missile tests

[groundloop]

Source: CBS News

President Donald Trump said Saturday that North Korea's Kim Jong Un wants to meet once again to "start negotiations" after joint U.S.-South Korea military exercises end. He also said Kim apologized for the flurry of recent short-range missile tests that has rattled U.S. allies in the region.

Trump is tweeting more details from the "beautiful" three-page letter he told reporters on Friday that he'd received from Kim. Trump, who is on vacation at his golf club in New Jersey, said Kim spent much of his letter complaining about "the ridiculous and expensive exercises," which North Korea sees as a threat.

He said Kim offered him "a small apology" for the recent tests and assured him "that this testing would stop when the exercises end." North Korea on Saturday fired what appeared to be two short-range ballistic missiles into the sea, according to South Korea's military — the fifth round of launches in less than three weeks.

The U.S. and South Korea have scaled down their major military exercises since Trump and Kim's first summit in June 2018. But the North insists even the downsized drills violate agreements between Kim and Trump and compel it to "develop, test and deploy the powerful physical means essential for national defense."

1. Kim apologized to Fat Nixon for the missile tests?

Suuuuure he did.

"My dearest friend Donald,

I humbly apologize for the tests of our missiles, and I have had the incompetent military people who were responsible for them executed. I will send you their heads.

Cordially,

Your friend KJU xxxxxoooooxxxx"

4. Don't Insult Nixon that way. He was a Smart Crook.

Kremlin Don cannot hold a candle to Nixon. Also, Nixon signed the EPA bill. The GOP still had some humans in it back then. Not many.

7. Nixon was actually a pretty terrible person; he just wasn't as obvious about it

as Dolt 45. In private he was racist and anti-semitic; he was paranoid (he ranted about "witch hunts" and accused the press of persecuting him), obsessed with defeating his enemies (remember the "enemies list of liberals and journalists"?) and dishonest. He just behaved better in public and wasn't as stupid. He signed the EPA bill under political duress. The only reason Nixon is getting any kind of props now is that Trump is more publicly awful and dumber.

11. He could have been in this day and age..

More obvious that is...the handjobs core could care less what dementia boy does..

[bitterross]

13. Nixon was a horrible, horrible person. This is true.

I was just being a smart ass about not insulting him. Trump is everything Nixon was but with far less IQ.

What Trump lacks in real IQ, he does make up for with his PT Barnum IQ. By that, I mean he knows how to put on a show and how to promote it.

2. LOL . . .

you dumb shit.

[keithbvadu2]

3. Kim: T-r-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-s-t - - m-e.

Kim: T-r-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-s-t - - m-e.

8. Trust in me....

[duforsure]

5. I don't believe this liar,

It's Putin wanting this, not Kim, and not red Donnie, Putin is pulling their strings now, especially his puppet Benidict Donald. This I think is being all staged.

[bitterross]

6. Sounds a lot like "He's Sorry, and promised not to hit me anymore."

You'd think Trump could recognize an abusive relationship when he's in one. I guess he's not used to be the one abused.

Did he send flowers with the apology too?

[sueh]

21. I'm with you...I thought this, too, when I read the OP.

[Blue_Tires]

25. Why? Everyone knows that...

1. Flattery and ego stroking is the way to Trump's heart... Kiss his ass just a little bit, and you're in "The Club" and he'll not only believe whatever sweet nothings you whisper in his ear, he'll move heaven and Earth to make you happy...

2. Despite having JACK FUCKING SHIT to show for all these concessions to North Korea (aside from some pretty letters which may or may not exist), Trump will spin it as yet another victory and Fox News will make that loud and clear to his red state cultists...

9. Fat Donnie really wants that first hotel in North Korea!

[Brother Buzz]

12. He thinks he can snag the unfinished Ryugyong Hotel for a bargain basement fire sale price

10. Charlie Brown gets set to kick the ball again

What will Lucy do? {wink; wink}

[Thekaspervote]

14. Oh yeah.. gee I won't fire any more missiles! What is he promising the dotard?

[BHDem53]

15. Hook. line and

sinker, stable genius.

[world wide wally]

16. What did he say? "Sorry, I didn't know it was loaded".

[Firestorm49]

17. What a gullible ass, or better yet, a dumb shit.

[myohmy2]

18. smile...

"..a beautiful three page letter..", "..a small apology..", "..I look forward to seeing to Kim.."

...I'm finding this funny, as in, 'ha ha'…

...you know, I think there's more going on here than meets the eye...I think trump has a crush on Kimmy...when they meet, they always want to be alone...they might have a thing going...

...I understand, Mr. President...

...Asians are cute...

[marble falls]

19. And he wants to pre-aplogize for the missiles he plans on "testing" next week, too.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

20. This is a classic case of spousal abuse.

The abuser physically or mentally attacks their victim, and then apologizes and says they'll never do it again.

Rinse and repeat.

And for whatever reason the abused spouse continues to stay in the relationship, hoping above hope they are being told the truth this time.

Fat Donnie's eyes are so blinded by the gleam of a Nobel Peace Prize -- the only thing of President Obama's legacy he can't take away with an executive order, emergency declaration, or a compliant GOP senate lead by Moscow Mitch -- that he'll let himself be lead like a pig to the slaughter. Wasn't Kim the man who executed his uncle with an anti-aircraft gun?

22. North Korea has always seen US exercises as "a threat"

Any logical American who understands the Korean peninsula knows those exercises are the only thing that keeps the Korean People's Army from invading as soon as the Han Estuary freezes hard enough to support armored vehicles.

[Flaleftist]

23. Oh, did he say he was sorry and promise to never do it again?

This stupid, orange fuck is such a national embarrassment and security threat.

[louis-t]

24. Any sentence that starts with "Donald Trump said.." likely to be a lie.

That is all.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

26. "Yes, Donald, I'm so, so sorry for setting off all those missiles."

"Oh, what's that? Another one just went off? My hand must have slipped."
