Trump says he thinks North Korea's Kim is a 'man of his word'

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had signed a contract about denuclearization and that he thought the North Korean leader was a “man of his word.”

Hours after Kim said his country would continue developing nuclear programs and introduce a “new strategic weapon” in the near future, Trump said he got along with Kim and “we have to do what we have to do.”

“But he did sign a contract, he did sign an agreement talking about denuclearization. ... That was done in Singapore, and I think he’s a man of his word, so we’re going to find out,” Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.

Trump doesn't believe: The FBI, the CIA, pretty much the entire US intelligence/counterintelligence apparatus (military and civil), a series of public servants who have testified under oath w/ penalty of perjury for lying, the US Congress, and a host of allied foreign governments and intelligence services.

Trump believes: Kim Jong Un and Vlad Putin. Oh yeah, and sometimes Xi Jinping.

And what are you going to do to enforce it? Sue? Dear, God. When you think this jackass can't get any dumber, he lowers the bar.

I wonder what he would've thought of Hitler, or Tojo? The three of them probably would've been blood brothers.
