If POTUS, Trump would make a deal with Kim Jong Un

Donald Trump told Reuters that he would be willing to sit down with North Korean "dictator for life" Kim Jong Un and try to work out a deal over the Commie country's nuclear weapons.

"I would speak to him, I would have no problem speaking to him," Trump said, "because I speak. I speak well and I speak in small words. He will understand my words." He then went on to say, "China can solve that problem with one meeting or one phone call. And Kim would pay for the phone call, this I can tell you."

Nobody knows for sure what Trump meant regarding the meeting. Would it be bilateral talks between us and North Korea or a face-to-face meeting? This he cannot tell you. But in any case, either situation would be a totally different approach from how we deal with the North Koreans now. 

We never talk, we never write, and this has been going on since Pyongyang pulled out of international aid-for-disarmament negotiations with us and other nations in 2008.

Obama, our "president" says he is willing to resume those talks, but only if North Korea agrees to give up its nuclear weapons. In response to Obama's demand, Kim has laughed and doubled-down on his nuclear program, secretly known as "Die Yankee, die." 

Kim has held two nuclear test 'badahbings' since coming to power four years ago after his nation was forced to weep upon the death of his father. Kim also launched long-range rockets into space, increasing the fear that the North is moving closer to acquiring nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles. We responded to this threat by leading an international effort to step up sanctions. 

Never to be outdone, Hillary Clinton's campaign attacked Trump's remarks: "Let me get this straight," said Jake Sullivan, a Clinton advisor, "Donald Trump insults the leader of our closest ally, then turns around and says he'd love to talk to Kim Jong Un?" He was referring to the recent feud Trump had with British Prime Minister and impotent David Cameron.

"I suppose that makes sense for him," Sullivan went on, "since he also praised Kim Jong Un for executing his uncle and seems to have a bizarre fascination with foreign strongmen like (Russian President Vladimir) Putin and Kim. But his approach to foreign policy makes no sense for the rest of us." 

Of course, Hillary's approach to foreign policy is exemplified with her Reset Button screwup, her inaction with Benghazi, and her lying to the families of the dead. I don't think Sullivan wants to talk about that, however.
