Why the Summit failure - Kim didn't read Trump's book

[packman]

Sebastian Gorka says the Trump-Kim summit failed because "clearly, Kim and his coterie didn't read the president's book The Art of the Deal--

"The President and his team have been very clear that under the Obama administration you had a rocket launch from North Korea every 24 days. That's incredible. We haven't had any nuclear detonations or tests of warheads, we haven't had any missile launches since the Singapore summit. That is the narrative that needs be maintained with the addition from Vietnam that clearly, Kim and his coterie didn't read the president's book The Art of the Deal. I tell everybody, if you want to understand the president, you need to start with his book The Art of the Deal. Because rule number one of the president's own textbook on how you negotiate is never be so vested in any deal. Whether it's real estate in Manhattan or denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula, never be so vested that you are not prepared to walk away from the table. And that's what the president did yesterday, and now there's going to be a very clear cooling-off period where Kim has to think about this.


Yah, sure - Kim will think about it!

1. So much better than Obama, who couldn't walk away from negotiations because he never begged for them

In the first place

2. Explain his Wall obsession

3. And Trump didn't read the briefing materials from the IC. Or anything else.

4. My guess is this is all fluff

Because it was probably Kim who walked out, not trump. Also is Putin the real one behind all this , then to get involved so they can announce he helped get a deal done, which Kim and putin know it won't be kept, and then putin will have trump use it as a reason for him to raise the sanctions for them both then. I think this is all a ploy for putin to use for himself, and trump will then get his cut from it.

5. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

6. ha ha ha

7. Kim got what he wanted by meeting with him at all. If they don't get that

they don't understand how much Kim wants to be seen as a world leader. Having the President fly to see him, kiss his as with praise, and not have to give anything away to do it. That's a win for Kim. A huge win.

8. the summit failed because trump is bad at negotiating

9. Fine by me, under the "A stopped clock is right twice a day" rule.

Two egotistical megalomaniacs in a room together. Of course something like this was likely to happen.

At least we have this instead of Trump giving away the store.

10. "I meant to do that"
