Trump-Kim Summit Is Doomed To Fail!

- Will it be a huge waste of time? TAKE OUR POLL!

The on again/off again Trump-Kim summit between Donald Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un is now back on again.  Here’s why the hastily arranged PR stunt is destined to fail.

Top News Today
The 2 stubborn leaders are supposedly meeting to discuss ending North Korea’s nuclear program.  However, they will each be entering the summit with ulterior motives and hidden personal agendas that have absolutely nothing to do with nuclear disarmament.

Kim Jong-Un agreed to the Trump-Kim summit because he’s been anxious to appear on the world stage next to a US president and feel respected globally as a legitimate leader. Donald Trump agreed to the Trump-Kim summit because he actually believes he can dictate world affairs the same way he negotiates a real estate deal:  one on one.  Trump is also desperate to one-up former President Barack Obama and score something — anything — for him to be respected globally as a legitimate leader.  Oh, and he really thinks he can somehow snag a Nobel Peace Prize.

Here’s why they’re both wrong.

Trump-Kim summit

A summit of this magnitude simply can’t be negotiated in a day.  So, for Trump and Kim to believe they can sit down together and hammer out intricate details of world importance in a matter of a few hours is beyond foolish.  That is why history is a valuable lesson and the actions of previous presidents are of grave importance here.  Traditionally, world leaders have sent lower-level operatives to meet over weeks, months, or even years to negotiate, renegotiate, and then re-renegotiate yet again any potential agreement between countries.  This assures that once the actual leaders of a nation sit down face-to-face, all of the details have already been determined and their presence is a mere formality to sign and seal the deal.  However, that is not at all what’s happening here.

Trump and Kim want to discard protocol, supersede lower-level negotiations, then lock themselves in a room and magically fix their disagreements in the course of an afternoon.  That’s impossible.

Sure, it makes total sense for Kim Jong-Un to want to attend a Trump-Kim summit.  He has absolutely no real intention to negotiate in good faith or halt his nuclear program — and anyone who believes he does is delusional.  Kim merely wants a photo-op with Donald Trump to use as propaganda and to make himself appear relevant on the world stage.  He’s also looking for a free “vacation” since he’s already informed the US they will need to pay the Singapore hotel bill for him and his entire delegation.

However, it makes ZERO sense for Donald Trump to want to attend a Trump-Kim summit.  If Trump actually believes he can walk into a room, tell Kim he wants A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and that Kim will walk out of the meeting doing exactly what he’s told and will realistically destroy the years of nuclear knowledge and weaponry he has amassed, then Donald Trump is more gullible and insane than he appears.

Top News Today
In a recent CNN Op-Ed piece, Michael D’Antonio, author of the book “Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success” said it best:

Hellbent on besting Barack Obama at everything, Donald Trump began talking about his potential Nobel Peace Prize long before the date set for his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. He heaped praise on the most repressive leader in the world — “very honorable” were the words he used — and the White House Military Office even issued a commemorative medal for the upcoming summit which, bizarrely, called Kim “Supreme Leader.”

But Thursday, with a letter to Kim that is true to the cartoon nature of his personality, Trump cites “the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement” and canceled the peace talks in a fit of childish pique. This came after Vice President Mike Pence’s threat that the North Korean government could be toppled as Libya’s was if Kim didn’t come to heel — a threat that prompted a North Korean official to call Pence a “political dummy.”

Rarely has a President shown himself to be more clueless than Trump in his handling of the Korean crisis. With his schoolboy taunts about “rocket man” and wild swings between threats and loving praise, Trump has acted true to form.

Will the Trump-Kim summit scheduled for June 12th actually take place at all, or will Trump or Kim pull out at the 11th hour on a whim?  Will a face-to-face meeting between Trump and Kim be of any value or significance, or will the very thought of such a poorly planned summit end as a colossal waste of time?  Tell us what you think!

DJ, I’m glad that you’re still covering this topic because I find it quite fascinating how Kim has brilliantly played this whole thing out. Clearly he’s running *Game* on Trump who, along with his equally fake-alpha cohorts, thought they could bully Kim into submission -total denuclearization of NK. The rest of Us knew THAT was “NEVA” gonna happen. So I’ll start with the question: “Will the on again/off again Trump-Kim Summit be a huge waste of time?” My response: IF the meeting actually takes place then YES..it will be a huge waste of time (and U.S. taxpayer $$ too, I might add) for Trump. Of course, Donald will try his d*mndest to spin it as “a major success” because babble…babble…lies and babble. When most likely nothing of actual substance will have been achieved when all is said and done at the summit. However, for Kim Jong-Un the global spectacle will… Read more »

On a related note which, Americans who actually love this country, should recognize is this……… With every PR stunt (like this summit), and an endless pattern of lies and serious missteps by Trump and his administration, the True limits of America’s power and influence on the world has really been Exposed. Some would argues that that’s a good thing. But we shouldn’t kid ourselves -a lot of the damage being done is being carried out in such a manner that even The Constitution of the United States and our most valued institutions and our belie of being governed by the “The Rule of Law’ are being cynically and cravenly challenged in ways that puts all of that at great risk of resulting in irreparably damaged. ALL of that (and more) is being sacrificed for the sake of one man who doesn’t give a flying fig about anything for anyone but… Read more »

This whole thing is a joke and a big waste of time and everybody in the world but Trump knows it. Trump is so full of himself he thinks he can walk in a room and punk Kim Jong un into doing whatever he says do. But what he doesn’t realize is he is the one about to get punked. Kim is not about to give up all his weapons just because Trump told him. There is just no way. Like the CNN article said Trump is so busy trying to one up Obama he can’t see he is being played a total fool. I can’t wait for this clown to fall flat on his face and have nothing to show for it trying to play like he is a leader on the world stage.

USA Today: With the upcoming North Korean summit, Donald Trump should remember the reason past presidents never sat down to talk with a North Korean despot. Attention President Trump: Beware of adversaries with a very long memory and a multigenerational plan. You could be sucked into playing a decidedly deadly game of around-the-nuclear-mulberry bush yet again. The image of a beaming U.S. president standing in the Oval Office next to a smiling North Korean emissary and brutal spy chief should have been enough to give some pause. But of even greater concern as you head for the summit in Singapore that you re-announced on Friday should be the reasons such a meeting has never been held. And trust me, it has not been for lack of trying. Four U.S. presidents have been down this same path, playing this same escalating cat-and-mouse game with three North Korean dictators. None has come… Read more »
