VP Mike Pence Insists Trump Has Been Preparing for NoKo Summit 'His Whole Life'

“I think I’m very well prepared,” Trump said Thursday during an Oval Office meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

On Saturday, though, an ever-earnest Vice President Mike Pence told the religious right crowd that indeed, Trump had been making preparations since his Playboy photo shoot days and in everything else he did leading up to the historic summit.

“Now comes the historic summit between the president of the United States and Chairman Kim of North Korea,” told the audience at the Faith and Freedom Coalition convention on Saturday. “As President Trump said this week, he approaches the summit with confidence. The truth is, he’s been preparing for this his whole life. The president truly believes that Kim Jong Un, in the president’s words, wants to do something great for his people…But rest assured, our president is going into the summit with his eyes wide open.”

At another point in his talk, Pence also said he told Trump he was praying for him.

free golf, free trips for his "kids", his daughter getting worldwide patents on her stolen items. Life is good. Best gig this grifting band of crooks has EVER had. He will not go quietly when the time comes. Money rolling in to his hotels. Against the law, but hey - he is tRump - laws are for little people.

Not shamed by the water bottle incident - he boldly embraces his role as 100% echoing Trump - and making any sense of 'self' as invisible.

Who says Pence doesn't listen to what Trump says? Pence is kissing Donnie's cult's asses. He knows if anything should happen to Trump he's going to need the cult to continue. He can't do it with the god squad only. I think the cult would be repulsed by Pence. He's nowhere near as "manly" (cough, vomit in my mouth) as Trump, and doesn't say as many mean, nasty things as their cult hero.

If Trump gets two terms, he'll probably take over after him instead. Pence already handles many details of running the presidency that Trump is too lazy to do himself. Same thing happened with Bush #1 after Reagan.

QUESTION: Were you serious about really not needing to prepare for the Kim summit (INAUDIBLE)?

TRUMP: No, I didn't say that. I said I've been preparing all my life. I always believe in preparation. But I've been preparing all my life.

Given the number of times Trump's failed at business, Pence's is comment to make us feel better about IQ45 squaring off against Kim? We.are.so.fucked.
