A former top CIA official for North Korean affairs explained on Rachel Maddow’s show Monday night that Kim Jong Un will try for a deal with Trump because he knows that, at half Trump’s age, he can dominate and outmaneuver Trump in a way he will never be able to outplay any other future president, Democrat or Republican, ever again. This is his big chance.
Trump persists in claiming to trust — nay, WORSHIP — the blood-thirsty dictators whose absolute power and ruthlessness he envies, over and above his own top level heads of intelligence, national security and defense that HE APPOINTED.
His first loyalty is always to chief puppet-master Vladimir Putin, but he also jumps to the beck and call of Kim Jong Un, who sends him “beautiful love letters” (likely containing evidence of his hacked communications that would be damaging, and Mohammed bin Salman (MBS of Saudi Arabia), who bails him out with buckets of cash and helps him eliminate those pesky reporters from his nemesis, the Washington Post, in ways he would also like to do to any other actual news outlet that has the temerity to print facts that reveal the degree of Trump’s treachery.
And yes, Trump needs to have Kim Jong Un, along with Putin and MBS, to help him in 2020, because he knows he did not win a legitimate election in 2016 and will not be able to win in 2020 without the same kind of help to an even greater extent.
A really accurate depiction of a Treacherous, Ego-maniacal Psychopathic, Despotic Wanna-Be Dictator who has the utter destruction of American freedoms as his number one priority!
And it’s a pretty good depiction of Lil’ Kim as well!
Atty for the State of NY Underwood’s report outlined “a shocking pattern of illegality involving the Trump Foundation.” The ruling went on to declare that Trump’s sham included…
“…unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing, and much more. This amounted to the Trump Foundation functioning as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump’s business and political interests.”
The only way he can “legally” get Kim on the 2020 ticket as his VP is for Congress to declare North Korea to be on more “state” in the United States (so that Kim would be “native born”).
Gonna be hard with a Democrat-dominated House. Do you think he’ll try to abolish Congress?
The video, allegedly aired by Russian state television in 1995, shows the US president meeting with members of the former mayor’s administration.
“Trump was in Moscow,” Yury Luzhkov, the mayor of Moscow from 1992 through 2010, the Interfax news agency. “He had contacts…on matters related to the construction of the Okhotny Ryad underground mall on Manezh Square.”
The video adds new insight into Mr Trump’s business dealings in Russia well before it had previously been reported he visited Moscow in 1996 — a year after his alleged meeting with the former mayor’s administration — when he announced plans to invest upwards of $250m into the city.
The video was unearthed by someone who had “been going through the Russian TV archives”, according to Daniel Sandford, a home affairs correspondent for BBC News, who previously served as a correspondent in Moscow.
Mr Trump’s reported meeting with Moscow officials in 1995 and the newly-unearthed footage does not show any clear wrongdoing on the part of the president. It does, however, refute the notion that he had zero dealings in Russia before assuming the White House in 2016 — a frequent claim made by Mr Trump and his inner circle.
“I know nothing about Russia,” Mr Trump said during the second presidential debate against . “I don’t deal there.”
Trump tells Russian TV that Putin is a ‘great guy’ and ‘terrific person’ at G-20 summit
A reporter from Russia 24, a Russian state-owned television station, approached Trump and asked him how he’d liked his meeting with Putin. Trump replied with praise for the Russian leader. “He is a great guy. I think we had a really good meeting. I think he is a good person, we started discussing trade. I think we should have trade between Russia and USA, two great countries. We had a great meeting yesterday. He is a terrific person," Trump said.
The exchange was broadcast on Russian television.
Putin called Trump “a talented person” earlier this week, saying that Trump had won the 2016 election without any help from the Russia.
“Russia has been accused, and, strange as it may seem, it is still being accused of alleged interference in the U.S. election,” Putin said. “What happened in reality? Mr. Trump looked into his opponents’ attitude to him and saw changes in American society, and he took advantage of this.”
Ahead of the latest meeting between the two leaders, Trump was asked on Friday whether he would tell Russia not to meddle in the upcoming presidential election in 2020. Trump said, “yes, of course I will” and, smiling, turned to Putin and said, “Don’t meddle in the election.” Putin chuckled when he heard the translation.
.
And on July 17 Mueller might talk about Russian interference in our election.
He’s already vowed that, as president, he would abolish the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals—in addition to making it a requirment that all Americans say “Merry Christmas” instead of “Happy Holidays.”
Watching Trump and Kim huff and puff as they walked thru the DMZ into North Korea would’ve made a great Weight Watchers commercial. Trump will use his Presidential golf cart next time. Kim will just have his people carry him.
Trump loves dictators who murder their own citizen, and will gladly give them international credibility in exchange for NOTHING.
By the way, Open Doors, the International Christian missionary foundation, has designated North Korea the world’s most oppressive state against Christianity for 16 years in a row.

NK is noted for counterfeiting US money. Maybe Trump sees it as a new source of financing for Trump World – maybe it already is.

The United States has always been a champion in the struggles against tyranny and oppression.
We won the Revolutionary War against an unjust, above-the-law monarchy.
We won the Civil War against racist slavery.
We won WW2 against the hateful Nazis.
We won the Cold War against Communist Russia.
And now we have an administration that’s trying as hard as it can to unilaterally surrender in all of them.
