JOHN DEAN: This is not a "Nixon to China" moment -"Kim will give him a parade & have his mind/heart"

This is not a “Nixon to China” moment. Trump is playing way out of his league and the world knows it. Kim knows it. Much can go very wrong and Trump won’t read a briefing book. Going to be interesting— and extremely dangerous. Kim will give him a parade and have his mind/heart.

with the best memory and all the rest. One of his weakest spots is his superior vanity. Kim is well aware of how he can make a fool of Trumpy, who thinks he knows all he needs to know without any background, any briefings, any foreign policy expertise.

And the GOP fiddles with its collective butthole.

Throw in a gold trinket to wear around his neck, and trump will offer U.S. statehood to N. Korea. Another big performance coming up, from Mr. "Art Of The Deal".........

But you are right. trump would return if it were in NK and want to put on an even biller parade. Our troops would have to learn to goose step and wear big, silly hats.

Invite that F'n Moron in the WH to meet. We need a distraction from the Russian investigation. It's getting too close to our man in the Oral Office.

Kim Jun: Ok but I need more oil.

Vladdy: On its way, US will never stop the ships now.

Kim Jun: Thanks

Vladdy: No problem. When you and tRUMP are watching the parade, whisper this secret word to him:
"PeePee".

Kim Jun: Ok, what does it mean.

Vladdy: Don't worry he knows and you will get whatever you want. It's our code word that means MUCH more than what it says.

Being cut from the same cloth, Kim knows all the buttons to push to manipulate Trump in any direction he wants. Hell, Trump will probably end up building a golf course in North Korea.

Jong Un saw what happened with drumpf and China where Xi totally rolled him by giving his daughter 100 trademarks. He will 100% follow suit. drumpf will go along with this because all he cares about is himself. Give him $$ and he will do anything at all.

I think this a very strategic move by Kim.

He has a true maniac threatening war with N. Korea, a war N. Korea is guaranteed to lose.

The threat is even more dire because of Mueller's investigation, which corners Trump and is more likely to pull the "do not question a president during a war" card.

What Kim needs is time for the Mueller investigation to play out.

So Kim, has very effectively removed the war card from Trump's hand. Kim does not have to change a policy for at least a year. Mueller is done before then.

It's neutral-ish territory. The symbolism would be bad if they were held in Seoul. If herr drumpf went to Pyongang, it would be a Muhammed goes to the mountain moment and Kim would make hay of that.

Look forward to pictures of Trump and Kim holding hands and raising them high above their heads in victory. If he thought Duterte from the Philippines was peachy keen, he's going to love Kim.
