I doubt the Trump-Kim meeting will ever happen

The two are way too far apart.

Trump's position is, "you give me everything I want, and I'll give you a peace treaty."

Kim's position is exactly the opposite: if he gets a peace treaty from the outset, he will do things for Trump. And I suspect one of Kim's demands will be for the removal of US troops from South Korea - which will be a death sentence for South Korea.

Given that both parties think they have the upper hand in this, neither one is going to move.

It's almost as if Trump just wanted to generate a bunch of headlines, but couldn't be bothered to follow through on the hard part. Strange.

And what happens when one of them loses patience????

Neither of them is mature and thoughtful enough to run a country.

and how to lie to get more of it. That’s always been his game. He never worked a day in his life.

If Trumpy had personally received an offer for millions, he’d be all in.

Fanboys do not understand this: Trumpy will kill them if it means more money in his pocket— or if it meant that he’d lose the ability to make more money. Trumpy has no morals, but his Fanboys cannot fathom that he’d crush them if it meant he’d benefit.

He’s a loser and so is Kim. But, nothing else has produced results of any kind. Hope trump does insult Kim’s wife.
