Donald Trump, Kim Jong Un likely to meet alone at Singapore summit

Source: USA Today

SINGAPORE — Facing a high-stakes challenge to get North Korea to give up nuclear weapons, President Trump plans to speak alone with Kim Jong Un during their historic summit meeting, officials said Monday.

The one-one-one session, plus translators, will supplement bigger meetings involving the leaders and their aides about proposals to help North Korea if it agrees to dismantle its nuclear weapons programs.

"The president is fully prepared for the meeting," Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in previewing the first-ever summit between a sitting U.S. president and a North Korean leader.

Trump and Kim are scheduled to meet at 9 a.m. Tuesday in Singapore, which is 9 p.m. Monday in Washington.

"Trump gets along famously with North Korean leader, starts nasty feud with the leaders of Canada, France, Germany and England."

Next thing you know, the street the White House is on will be renamed "Pyongyang Avenue," and the Republican congressional majority will enthusiastically vote it into law.

take your pick, one leaves at 2PM and goes back home, and the sexual predator uses the office of the white house to construct and put his name on a golf course or building, and to top it all off he will do this............... Trump-Kim summit: US to table unprecedented security deal...................yep table a security deal and the US media does exactly what:

Definition:
In American English, to table something means to postpone discussion on something. It might mean to postpone it indefinitely, but usually it just means that the discussion should be resumed at a later date. (As others have pointed out, in British English it means the exact opposite.


So he pisses in the cereal of allies at the G7 then flies over on the tax payer dollars to table a security deal, and this fuck head has been going around and says that "it's going to be beautiful"..............as Robert DeNiro says ............FUCK TRUMP


November 2018 cannot get here fast enough....................

Take the word of a serial liar or the word of a ruthless dictator. Now that I think about it the two are probably interchangeable. Either way, the official record will rely on the unreliable words of an untrustworthy person.
