Wow, you really are amazing. You continually tell lies with absolute conviction even when they are simple to disprove. And you keep doing it, over and over and over again! Amazing. For example: Why Trump's Predecessors Did Not Meet With North Korea By Tessa Berenson March 9, 2018 If Donald Trump meets with Kim Jong Un sometime this spring, he’ll be the first sitting American president to meet with a North Korean leader. There are many reasons for that. Speaking to reporters after the surprise announcement Thursday, a senior Administration official touted the fact that Trump is willing to do what his predecessors would not. “President Trump has made his reputation on making deals,” the official said. “Kim Jong Un is the one person who is able to make decisions under their authoritarian, uniquely authoritarian, or totalitarian system, and so it made sense to accept an invitation to met with the one person who can actually make decisions instead of repeating the sort of long slog of the past.” It’s not that previous presidents didn’t have the option of meeting with the head of the hermit kingdom. “North Korea has been seeking a summit with an American president for more than twenty years,” Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at Middlebury Institute of International studies tweeted Thursday night. “It has literally been a top foreign policy goal of Pyongyang since Kim Jong Il invited Bill Clinton.” continues at time.com Or here is another one: Trump isn't the first US President to get a North Korean invite. But he's the first to accept. Analysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN Updated 7:35 PM ET, Sat March 10, 2018 Washington (CNN)No US president has agreed to sit down with a North Korean leader -- until now. Just by showing up to see Kim Jong Un, Donald Trump would give his murderous dynasty what it has always craved -- the prestige and propaganda coup of a meeting of equals with the President of the United States. That is why the talks represent such a massive gamble for Trump and will subject him to intense pressure to deliver a significant breakthrough in return toward the US goal of dismantling North Korea's nuclear arsenal. continues at cnn.com
