Why Did North Korea Make a Fool of Trump? Because China Told It To

Q: What country is North Korea's biggest trade partner? What country gives it more aid and has more influence on it than any other country in the world?

A: China. Of course

Q: What country's economy relies upon a robust US consumer economy and minimal trade barriers?

A: Lots of countries, but the biggest and most powerful is China. And Putin and Russia made it clear from day one that they intended to drive us (and most of the nations of western Europe) into the shitter so that Russia could rule the world with its nukes. Which is not good for China.

In 2016, I posed the question "If you put Trump and China in a cage match, who wins?" Apparently, I got it wrong. Putin is not the winner. China is the winner. China got North Korea to lure Trump with the promise of talks that would establish him as a world class leader. And then, afterwards, North Korea called Trump a mobster. Or rather "gangster-like". Ouch. And now the New York Times gets to have a big headline proclaiming that Trump's administration is "gangster-like".

Way to go, China!

trump thinks both are on his side, but they both ignored sanctions on NK, and helped them build their bombs by supplying parts to them. putin and china both are setting us up with trumps help too. He has him attacking allies , and praising and helping murderers , terrorist corrupt criminal dictators instead, and now soon he'll give putin his windfall 3/4 to a trillion dollars to do more elections and infrastructure cyber attacks against our country and many more as he makes personally hundreds of billions from trump and the gop letting him lift sanctions, and while trump and the gop get their cuts from it. treasonous traitors. trump may be hard up for cash now rushing this summit meeting, and needing his cut from it. The NK was a ploy to get business development deals, and maybe from putin also.
