Trump on Whether We Believe Kim Jong Un: 'I Shook Hands With Him, I Really Believe He Means It'

Trump on Whether We Believe Kim Jong Un: ‘I Shook Hands With Him, I Really Believe He Means It’

-snip-

Bartiromo asked him about the historic summit with Kim in Singapore just weeks ago, saying North Korea should be telling the U.S. “exactly where their facilities are” soon to see how serious Kim is.

“I think they’re very serious about it,” the President responded. “We had a very good chemistry.” He again talked about ending the “unbelievably expensive” “war games” and insisted, “We gave nothing.”

Trump said he got along very well with Kim before having this exchange with Bartiromo:

BARTIROMO: But do we believe him, Mr. President?

TRUMP: I made a deal with him, I shook hands with him. I really believe he means it. Now, is it possible––have I been in deals, have you been in things where people didn’t work out? It’s possible.

A deal is when money is involved, according to trump. He just lied, told her what he thought she wanted to hear, brushed it off because she's a woman, and forgot about it 30 seconds later. We are more likely to see butterflies lift battleships than see trump keep his word.

They both are authoritarian assholes. Trump is just waiting for a chance to kill someone in cold blood the way other "strong leaders" have done.

...a real estate "deal," and doesn't take these international interactions any more seriously than ordering dinner.

especially when they refuse to listen to authorities in foreign diplomacy.

Someone needs to establish that now. He is responsible for his uninformed decisions.
