Giuliani: Kim Jong Un got 'on his hands and knees and begged' for Trump meeting

Source: Politico




By LOUIS NELSON 06/06/2018 12:07 PM EDT

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un got “on his hands and knees and begged” for his meeting with President Donald Trump to be rescheduled after Trump canceled it, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday.

Giuliani, now a member of the president’s outside legal team, recommended the Trump administration adopt a similar approach in negotiations with Palestinians in future peace negotiations.

“Well, Kim Jong Un got back on his hands and knees and begged for it, which is exactly the position you want to put him in,” Giuliani said in Tel Aviv, where he was speaking at a conference.

His remarks were previously reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Ghoulliani is as delusional as tRump. No way the N. Korean "Great Leader" would beg from anyone, least of all Orange Ass Don the Con. Kim knows what a fake tRump is. Well, so does anyone with a couple of brain cells to rub together.

that Trump's lawyer is claiming he debased himself. Perhaps in the form of an editorial cartoon.

That will go over well.

Kowtow - King Injo of Joseon (Korea) was forced to surrender by kowtowing three times to pledge tributary status to the Qing Emperor Hong Taiji.

I think someone could start an international incident with that one.

Sounds like another business deal or major loan. Maybe he's arranging housing in case Trump needs a quick getaway. We never find out what is going on until it's over.

I believe in Korean culture, respect and saving face are VERY important social norms.
Rudy implying that Un was crawling around like a dog will not go over well.

The Mayberry Machiavellis of foreign policy....AGAIN.

Does he have a White House job now?

Trump is constantly looking for someone who will say exactly whatever he is told to say.

Kim would have to get in line behind all those gop politicians who are on their hands and knees, begging tRump for pardons! Then the crooks begging him for a job in this crooked administration.

the comments from John Bolton (with the Libya comparison) was design to screw up the meeting. So maybe Rudy is trying to do the same.

S.Korean media are reporting that Bolton is not going to Singapore for the obvious reason of the provocative role he played. So you have to wonder if they had a little chat... Other possibilities come to mind, including that Giuliani is just demented.

Oh yeah, the President is a moron and the State Department has been gutted. So why not let any Joe Blowhard off the street set US policy on a destablised nuclear threat.
