Kim Jong Un Begged for Summit 'on His Hands and Knees,' Giuliani Says

EL AVIV—President Donald Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un got “on his hands and knees and begged” for their summit to be held after Mr. Trump canceled it last month.

Mr. Giuliani counseled a similar approach to Trump administration negotiations with Palestinian officials in a future Middle East peace process.

Speaking at an investment conference in Israel hosted by the “Globes” newspaper, Mr. Giuliani said Mr. Trump canceled the summit last month because senior North Korean officials insulted top Trump administration officials.

“They also said they were going to go to nuclear war with us, they were going to defeat us in a nuclear war,” Mr. Giuliani said. “We said we’re not going to have a summit under those circumstances.”

If he hears this, he'll probably back down again. Not that I'm rooting for Cheeto, but if negotiations stand a chance at all, we don't facilitate it by insulting the opponent before the fact.

Trump pleaded with Kim and his minion he wanted the meeting. He needs it badly to falsely promote himself with more lies and wild claims, and to use as another PR event, and to distract attention away from his conspiring with Putin to win the election , and become an illegitimate President installed by putin.

and Fluffer-In-Chief Rudy is just saying that to keep Spanky erect for the occasion. However, he fails Diplomacy 101 to say something that demeaning in public, since Kim is another thin-skinned asshole who needs constant adoration and might not appreciate being depicted, falsely or otherwise, as begging.

I just don't think this whole thing will go very well.

They're lowering expectations to the point that unless the two of them pull guns on each other or soil themselves, it'll be called a YUGE success and accolades will be passed around.

The word "Presidential" will be uttered all across the RW Wurlitzer. Plans for more meetings to schedule meetings will be made (at choice Trump Properties all across the Globe at full per diem. NO DISCOUNTS!)... Nothing will change.

Trump will still not get a Nobel Prize... Ever. For anything.

How stupid is Ghouliani to make a statement like that just days before this meeting. Wait till Kim Jong Un gets a whiff of that. It almost looks like this statement was meant to crash this meeting.
