People who don\u2019t understand Trump, don\u2019t understand what he\u2019s doing with Korea. There\u2019s no written agreement. There\u2019s no procedure for verification. We gave away too much and received too little. It\u2019s a disaster!<\/p>\n
Calm down. Trump is a real estate developer. This is standard operating procedure. Say anything, promise anything, to get the customer committed to the deal. After that, we hammer out the details. The final agreement may look nothing at all like the initial offer, but it\u2019ll fly because we\u2019re all committed to the deal.<\/p>\n
Same technique as selling a used car. Go ahead, sit in it. Drive it around the block. Look at the great tread left on the tires. Feel the cushy seats. You look good in that car. You want it, don\u2019t you? Why not, you deserve it. And the payments, so affordable. Can we do this? Sure, we can.<\/p>\n
Trump took the first step at getting North and South committed to a deal, some deal, any deal, something to break the stalemate, something to take to their own people and claim as a victory. Hey Kim, maybe you\u2019d like to own a hotel on the beach? Put your name up in lights? Sure, we can do that, as part of the deal. Ever eaten at McDonalds? Come on, every major city has a McDonalds. We\u2019ve got to get your city into World Class, we\u2019ve got to get you a McDonalds. Can we do this? Sure we can. All part of the deal . . . .<\/p>\n
Give the man time to do his thing.<\/p>\n

The left calls Trump “not presidential”.\u00a0 And they’re not wrong.<\/p>\n
But the big problem seems to be that he’s “not like a politician”.<\/p>\n
Which can be both a feature and a bug, of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
