None of his sycophants will say anything other than what their cult leader tells them.

And, so, no matter what anyone says on the American side, it will be a lie.

Trump can claim they reached some kind of agreement, and of course he'll blab the terms, or what he wants the terms to be, all over Twitter. If that isn't what Kim thinks they agreed to, his Twitter will also blow up, and whatever agreement actually was made will fall apart like wet toilet paper.

the stories he will tell. I get the impression though that Kims easily annoyed and will push back. They BOTH need this so bad.

and he'd still spout BS about what they said to each other. He's done it with other people, why not Kim too?

There's a reason you have witnesses at high level discussions.

Oh wait. I forgot; we're now in the Twilight Zone.

And he will throw in his massive lies as well of course.

Our two-dimensional TV Dodo doesn't have the depth to be doing anything like this. It could end up worse than before. I may just turn off the TV for a week.

his supporters believe he walks on water and can do no harm

the rest of us will be grateful if it doesn't end in a shooting war

nothing could be of less value than what Kim and Trump have to say to the press about their private rocket rubbing session.

leading to higher status for Kim, which is what he wants. The great negotiator-in-chief can't bargain his way out of a paper bag.

Kim's going to get pretty tired of hearing about how big Donny's win over Crooked Hillary was after 15-20 minutes.
After an hour alone I'm pretty sure all Trump's weaknesses, ignorance, and ego flaws will be exposed to Kim.
Kim will know exactly what he can get away with at that point.

because he always changes the story, claims things that were not said, and generally lies about everything. Having two lawyers insures that it doesn't become a he said/he said situation.
