HANOI (Reuters) - North Korea’s state media criticized U.S. Democrats and American intelligence officials on Sunday for “chilling the atmosphere” ahead of leader Kim Jong Un’s second summit with President Donald Trump this week.

After weeks of silence about the summit in Vietnam, North Korea’s state news agency KCNA on Sunday announced Kim’s departure by train, en route to talks in which the two leaders aim to build on a commitment to rid the Korean peninsula of nuclear weapons, reached at their first meeting in Singapore in June.

KCNA later issued a commentary arguing that if Trump listened to skeptics at home, he could face a “shattered dream” and “miss the rare historic opportunity” to improve relations with North Korea.

“The Democratic Party of the U.S. and other opponents to the negotiations move overtly and covertly to disrupt them as supported by scepticism backed by all sorts of groundless stories and misinformation even at such a crucial moment as now,” said the commentary, which was released under the name Jong Hyon.

1. Yadda Yadda Yadda,

Yeah we Democrats already know that Trump is going to end the Korean war. Yay, hooray, ciss boom bah. There, is that better?

[mpcamb]

2. Paid off or what???

[yaesu]

12. Reagan made a deal with Iran to hold US hostages until after he won the election

Nixon did the same by screwing up peace talks with Vietnam so he could win. tRump & the GOP are using Russia & NK as a cyber warfare tool to do the same.

[Iliyah]

3. NK is . . .

threatening the Democratic Party and USA's ICs? I really feel for SK and Japan.

And where are the GOPs and their master shithole? They rather side with a killer dictator who starves his people.

The Republican party needs to be voted out - asap.

[notdarkyet]

5. And when they are Kim will sorry he dissed the dems.

[sinkingfeeling]

4. Kim Jung Un and IQ45 are birds of a feather.

[oldsoftie]

14. All thats missing are stories of Trump bowling 300 games & hitting hole-in-ones!

[PSPS]

6. This is how you "flatter" trump and get anything you want.

[Achilleaze]

7. republican Draft-dodger Dirty Donny probably asked them to do it

Just like he asked Japan to nominate him for the Nobel prize

What a loser.

[The Liberal Lion]

8. This is actually humorous

If I'm reading between the lines correctly. NK state media is saying: we are playing trump like a fiddle, and only the democrats stand in the way of us completely outfoxing the US. trump, as foolish as one can be, will sympathize with us because we are criticizing you democrats, and he will give us everything we want while we give nothing more than a few strokes to his oh so delicate ego. Now be quiet democrats, we've got a fool to coddle.

[yaesu]

9. So the GOP has weaponized Russian & now north Korea against us. Using them as a cyber warfare weapon

against the USA. Treason.

[pangaia]

10. This may be more chilling than it first appears.....

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. Awww, they won't suck up to you, L'il Kim?

They're telling the truth.

[randr]

13. They know how to pull the strings

on their little puppet don't they?

[Zambero]

15. Yet MAGAts constantly refer to Democrats as "Commies"

And weak on national defense. Coddling and poo-pooing the likes of Kim Jong Un and his ongoing nuclear buildup with missile delivery capabilities would seem to place that suspicion squarely on them.

[mpcamb]

18. trump can't get enough of Commies and ex commies, Putin, Kim, Xi Jinping, all his funding

oligarchs. They must be the very best despots.

[allgood33]

16. So now we have to fight through NK opposition to our Party. Media will play this up, I am sure.

Seems like all things go MAGA's way.

[Trenzalore]

17. Being criticized by North Korea's state propaganda is a badge of honor. nt.

[Vinca]

19. Not to worry. Don will slobber all over Kim and give him something big with nothing in return.

[Leghorn21]

20. Oh this is just...straaange. NOW the trumpets must line up behind MF45 AND chairman Kim, else

get chastised by littlefinger.

It’s just weird is all I’m sayin

[SunSeeker]

21. Yes, Dems and Intel folks bringing in facts is a real turd in the punch bowl.

Go fuck yourself, Kim, you murderous piece of shit.

[Maxheader]

22. n. korea has been schooled by china to play

the yellow haired sucker like a big mouth bass...Give it a little line...reel it in...

They certainly don't want liberals muddying the waters..

[LiberalLovinLug]

23. Oh look they have a new shirt!
