Trump sounds optimistic tone about future North Korea talks, suggests June 12 summit could happen after all

A day after aborting a summit with North Koreas leader, President Trump sounded an optimistic note Friday about future negotiations, saying it is even possible that a meeting could take place on June 12 as originally planned.
Well see what happens. We are talking to them now, Trump told reporters as he left the White House Friday morning. They very much want to do it. Wed like to do it.
It could even be the 12th, he added, referring to the date next month that had been set for him to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore.
Asked if North Korea is playing games, Trump said: Everybody plays games. You know that better than anybody.

Dont explain. Of course we want transparency from our president, but just blabbing on is horrendous. A horrible deal maker.

That said, I don't see the North Koreans giving them up.

(9,350 posts)Can anyone imagine the Republican/Conservative outrage if President Obama had been this indecisive about any issue? Fox News would, at this moment, be claiming that this is what is wrong with the world; people do not know what President Obama is going to do. They would claim our allies cannot trust him and our enemies do not have to fear him. They would claim that even after being jerked around by a brutal dictator that imprisons and kills his own people and having a meeting canceled on him, President Obama and his fellow Harvard/Ivy League wimps are now begging this monster to meet with him. They would claim this is why our enemies are emboldened. This is why Iran wants to get nuclear weapons. This is why Al Queda and ISIS are running amok around the world.
I assume Fox News is now going to spin this as showing that Donald Trump is a great of a person and negotiator. I guess they will say that this shows Donald Trump, unlike Barack Obama, understand how to preserve and how he will not let the moment get away from him. How long before Fox News begins to claim President Obama could never have pulled off a play like this; walk away from the table and then let it be known he is willing to come back to the table? Then maybe they will say this all shows why Donald Trump is a billionaire businessman and Barack Obama is some guy who has lived off the government his entire life.

(54,409 posts)His supporters will praise his genius, saying he is doing it to keep the North Koreans off balance. But everyone except Ivanka and Steve Doocy knows that's not true.
The only one here who is truly unbalanced is Trump, himself. He believes people who tell him water is dry, and he believes people who tell him water is wet, and by the end of the day, he'll believe water is both dry AND wet, depending on whether has last Big Mac had more ketchup or more mustard.
