Trump cancels Pompeo’s visit to North Korea

The President cites insufficient progress towards denuclearization by Kim, and partially blames China, who is helping NK by circumventing sanctions on Kim’s regime and not cooperating as much because of Trump’s escalation of trade tensions with China.

Trump learning just how difficult geopolitics can be, and that sometimes competing goals need to be prioritized to get things done.

Antagonizing the power that has more influence than you over North Korea isn’t going to help you accomplish much of anything, and no tweet to the contrary is going to change that.

Check out this Trump tweet. WTH? I though it must be Denald Trump, but no. Blue checkmark!

...Secretary Pompeo looks forward to going to North Korea in the near future, most likely after our Trading relationship with China is resolved. **In the meantime I would like to send my warmest regards and respect to Chairman Kim. I look forward to seeing him soon**!

■■■■■ just checked, it is real! Lolololol!

Man the North Korea strategy is just going great.

How does Pompeo stand it?

It’s not like he’s a diplomat either.

It can’t be power since fat donald will eventually go down for the count. So, it might be just pride?

The only explanation is that he thinks acting like a total ■■■■■■■■ then immediately turning around and offering concessions, is some kind of brilliant move no one can see coming and are powerless against.

Trump does this ■■■■ constantly.

Un ■■■■■■■ believable. KJU can’t believe what a moron trump is. Neither can I.

No one but someone like Trump would have made Pompeo the DCI or SecState. He went from being a middling Congresscritter to a lifetime of six and seven figure jobs that don’t require any work once he leaves government.

The same people who called out Obama for apologizing to world leaders will be running cover for Trump as he continues to kiss dictators asses.

Yes. Yes, they willl.

It’s Friday afternoon and I am procrastinating.

I need a Trump supporter to come in here, and spin this real good_. Something creative. Surprising. C’mon.
