Trump willing to walk away from North Korea summit, says Pence - Polidicks

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/trump-willing-to-walk-away-from-north-korea-summit-says-pence-10255976?cid=FBcna Well back to square one

At this rate, we may as well start taking bets on whether it will or will not happen.

...so does either of them want it or not?

Wow, donald trump flip flopping? Unheard of!

It's the ultimate game of chicken. Neither wants to do it, but each are getting closer and closer to see who will cancel first.

"You can't fire me, I quit!" in a nutshell. Right inline with his absolutely pathetic narcissism. Kim Jong Un, regardless of whether or not he ever truly intended to reach peace with the South, made Trump look like a weak fool, and now Trump is trying to reshape it into some kind of 'victory' of his own instead.

>"It would be a great mistake for Kim Jong Un to think he could play Donald Trump," Pence said according to excerpts of an interview made available by Fox. An ego so colossal yet so fragile he's unwilling to bring peace to Korea for fear of "being played".

I don't even want to make a reply to this, it's not like I create long complaints about Trump, but it's genuinely tiring just If he actually legit does this and this isn't just hot news goss, what the fuck dude grow a pair

Trump has put himself in a position where any deal the US makes is capricious. At this point, why would anyone trust any deal with the US?

Remember two weeks ago when all his supporters were going on about how he deserved a Nobel peace prize, and tons of shitty cable pundits and writers were saying "why isn't the left giving Trump credit for all the progress he's made on North Korea?" Life comes at you fast.

Easy come, easy go.

I didn't know Sarah Sanders came to facepunch.

Hmm, do I go with a joke about the White House infiltrating FP? Or do I go with an 'oh god, TD is leaking, somebody stop it' joke?

but he should still get that nobel peace prize for trying and getting further than anyone else ever has :downs:

I'm completely unable to tell whether stuff like this is meant to be satire any more, and honestly that's fucking terrifying.

From what I recall, ikkah has a history of defending Trump so it seems pretty unlikely to be satire. (And if it is then he did a shit job of communicating it adequately.)

I don't want Trump to do it because i think he's the wrong man for the job

not that they have any other options. Africa is still getting its shit together, China's economy is doing great until you consider the fact that their wages are rising and a $20,000 robot costs the same no matter what country your in while Germany and friends holds businesses up to relative to the rest of the world strong scrutiny, India is in the same boat as China. South America on the other hand seems like a great place for business to thrive however it lacks the infrastructure for the business of today. Turkey had a chance but Erdogan wants his ottoman empire back and set the country back who knows how many years.

Just what Donald needs, a solid gold participation medal.

What he deserves, on the other hand, is a gold-plated turd.

Well least glad that Panmunjom Declaration with both North/South Koreas isn't undo yet.

This isn't about flip-flopping or Trump changing his mind. This is Pence desperately assuring that North Korea doesn't have Trump by the balls which they definitely do. Trump has praised himself deserving of a Nobel prize for the summit, had a commemorative coin designed for it and probably something more I don't know. So now Trump's weakest spot, his ego hinges on the talks happening, and Kim knows he can abuse it to hell and back.
