After the Summit...

What happens if the summit between Trump and Kim Jong Un is a failure?

Obviously, Trump will not accept any responsibility. That much we know.

However, there is a danger that he may spin it as a reason to attack North Korea? He tried to reason with them but they refused to cooperate, he might say?

He is not a stable genius.

The North Koreans will play Trump like a fiddle and make empty promises that Trump will accept on face value... he will declare that sanctions should now be lifted on his "good friend" Kim and promise Kim will be "dear leader" for life.

And everyday we do NOT go to the streets, we are responsible.

I dont know how, I need someone ELSE to orchestrate it but I am ready

General strike?

UPS is about to go on strike. I wonder how much shit the Teamsters will take HERE when that happens.

4. I'm wondering if Rudi saying Kim came crawling/begging on his knees was a good idea?

Seems to me that pre-summit insults and painting Kim as groveling and weak aren't that helpful for getting talks off to a productive, friendly start. But hey, that's just me.

And they will do it with passion.

With Rudderless Rudys latest comment I'm pretty sure they are trying to make sure it doesn't happen.

6. It won't be a failure. Trump will sign on to anything to claim

that he made a "deal." Then, he'll explain why it's the bestest deal ever made. He will sign something, I guarantee.

7. This is all just another PR stunt,

Neither one will do what they agree to, and will both claim they won, and are saving the world. I wouldn't believe trump for anything he ever claims because all he does is lie. He'll claim how great he is, then make stuff up like he always has done. Just another attention deflector away from him and putin and all his corruption being exposed, nothing more.
