Trump: 'I don't think I have to prepare very much' for North Korea summit

Trump: 'Don't have to prepare very much' for North Korea summit

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/391193-trump-dont-have-to-prepare-very-much-for-north-korea-summit

President Trump on Thursday said he does not have to prepare “very much” for his high-stakes summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un because he believes “it’s about attitude.”

“I think I'm very well prepared,” Trump told reporters during a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. “I don't think I have to prepare very much. It's about attitude. It's about willingness to get things done.”

The president said the scheduled June 12 summit with Kim in Singapore will be “much more than a photo op,” predicting it will be both “fruitful” and “exciting.”
He also suggested he could host a second round of talks with the North Korean leader to discuss his nuclear program.

"They have to denuke, if they don't denuclearize, that will not be acceptable," he said. “We cannot take sanctions off — the sanctions are extraordinarily powerful. And I could add a lot more, but I've chosen not to do that at this time.”

We're not likely to get anything. So yeah, his job in this one is just to show up.

And I don't think its a myth that just like his father, he'd like to be recognized on the world stage.

The failure of his byung jin policy has been reported as disappointment to him. Getting the sanctions removed, getting the bank channels to finance international trade, and domestic economic development are more important to him than military affairs.

Maybe, might, possibly we will have a good meeting in Singapore. Or in Tokyo. Perhaps Bejing? Cleveland is on standby. Or then again, I might not go. But it will all be good.

Other than rounds and rounds of golf and long weekends at Mar-a-Lago?

Since there's really nothing that could go wrong, there's no need to prepare. Like he should pass up a golfing weekend or something? C'mon.

Arrogant and dumb as a post.

Dolt45 will give Rocket Man everything he has ever dreamed of and then try to pass it off as a win. What a maroon!

He has fresh hair coloring and spray tan. Isn't that all the prep he needs?
