An escape clause from North Korea and tRump!

So tRump entered into an agreement with NK.

It can be voided!

https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/lack-capacity-to-contract-32647.html

When it comes to legally binding agreements, certain people are always considered to lack the legal ability (or "capacity&quot to contract. As a legal matter, basically they are presumed not to know what they're doing. These people--legal minors and the mentally ill, for example--are placed into a special category. If they enter into a contract, the agreement is considered "voidable" by them (as the person who lacked capacity to enter the agreement in the first place). Voidable means that the person who lacked capacity to enter the contact can either end the contract or permit it to go ahead as agreed on. This protects the party who lacks capacity from being forced to go through with a deal that takes advantage of his or her lack of savvy.

Anyone care to argue that Dump is sane?
