It was more like shouting and roaring! Really almost (but not quite) deserves a separate thread. My uncle Fred was an open and avowed communist. Many Americans flirted with communism in the 30's, just as others did with isolationism. Our society was liquid, unformed and inchoate then, as it is now, deToqueville notwithstanding.
It seems pretty obvious to me that Trump is blowing smoke up Kim's 🤬 ass to build a relationship with him to use a more personal approach to get what he wants. Whether the feelings are genuine or not I can't speculate but it seems like he's appealing to Kim's ego first and moved away from the harsh rhetoric. What's the alternative? Nothing else has worked for decades, the nukes are already there. I've had some success in business and my experience tells me that relationships are everything. People like you, they do business with you, almost above all else. They don't like you, they'll only do business with you begrudgingly if there is no other alternative. It seems to me Trump is trying to build up a relationship of equals with Kim so that he doesn't lose face when eventually he denuclearizes, if that should come to pass. Never underestimate the ego. Getting people to do what you want through relationship is a lot easier and cheaper and safer than with F-35's and a few divisions of tanks.
His final screen role in which he portrayed the brutal, megalomaniac dictator of a small SE Asian state.
He could have said something different but he didn't. He's not a politician. He has no filter. It's not an excuse it just the way it is. If the U.S. had minded it's own business from 1945 on you think the world would be a better place? Be serious. You think the Russians would have said, "Oh the U.S. is ignoring us I think we'll stop annexing countries and trying to take over the world?" Burying your head in the sand is a great strategy when you don't have a neighbour that is hellbent on taking over the world.

Except he does. I think very little of him, and don't hesitate one bit in saying that, but I believe almost ("covfefe") everything he says is thought out...he's just not terribly bright, so it comes off as spontaneous.

Here is an alternative link, for how long I'm not sure.

@ Trump Cartman, that's awesome.
You're mistaken...it wasn't a joke but a forthright and earnest statement. It really was the funniest thing I'd seen since. If you don't want to make people laugh, you shouldn't say funny things.
The truth is funny? Your hatered for Trump has you deranged. Y'all circle jerk each other any time Trump does something y'all dislike. Y'all continue to nit pick over NK instead of looking at the positive side that something is FINALLY actually getting done.
