Trump predicts 'terrific relationship' with Kim Jong Un as historic summit begins
Source: NYPost
President Trump said Tuesday after meeting Kim Jong Un that hes feeling really great. He says, Were going to have a great discussion and a terrific relationship.
Kim says through an interpreter that it was not easy to get here and that there were obstacles but we overcame them to be here.
The two men are expected to meet on their own for the better part of an hour, with only a pair of interpreters in the room.
That decision has raised concerns about the risk of holding such a monumental meeting with barely anyone to bear witness.

What's that all about?

(3,289 posts)The world's his stage, and the rest of us are bit players there to do our part to magnify his greatness. This is all a grand production starring him. Everything he does is to assure that his name is in lights and on everyone's lips. I don't think he views other people as real, actual beings with thoughts and feelings and goals independent of him.
That explains why he treats every appearance as if it were focused solely on him. I'm honestly surprised he didn't offer the shooting survivors his autograph as a memento of the highest point in their lives: a few minutes of interaction with him.
He's deeply narcissistic to the point of regarding everything through the lens of "Me me me, look at me, I'm so great." Running for President was never about helping people or making the world a better place. It was always about aggrandizing his wonderful self.
He's truly a disturbed person, and he'll do anything to make his mark on the history books. Look how desperate he is about the North Korea summit. All he wants is to be first, no matter the ultimate consequence. We're in deep shit.

(12,604 posts)Standard Oil ran into this when they were searching for more modern name for their brand. At first, consideration was given to simply rebranding all stations as Enco, but that was shelved when it was learned that the word "Enco" is similar in pronunciation to the Japanese slang term enko, meaning "stalled car" (an abbreviation of enjin no kosho, "engine breakdown" .
Then they were going to call it Exon, until they were informed that James Exon was the governor of Nebraska. Renaming the company after a sitting governor seemed ill-advised.
The corporation finally added the second "x" and the rest is history.
And that is why you research words and gestures before you use them in other countries or parts of the U.S.
BTW, I have no idea what "thumb's up" means in Lower Slovakia.

If Kim cedes them to Trump he's lost face with his military, his people, and his only bargaining chip. That Trump doesn't realize this makes him look like a gigantic asshole.
