Is Giuliani just playing a lawyer on TV?

Rudy Giuliani spoke about the planned summit between North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and President Trump. I should have said that he "unfortunately spoke" about the summit.

He spoke in Tel Avi on Wednesday and was referring to the fact that the meeting was originally canceled by Trump last month,. He said that Kim "begged" for the summit in Singapore. Giuliani said that Kim "got back on his hands and knees and begged for it, which is exactly the position you want to put him in."

Why?

Even if it's true, why would Giuliani make that information public? It could put Kim in an uncomfortable position of weakness and possibly ruin the chances of a summit actually taking place.

Fortunately, Trump announced the summit is back on and White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said on Tuesday that the summit would be held at the Capella Hotel on Sentosa Island in Singapore.

Giuliani, the former New York mayor during the 911 World Trade Center attack in 2001, is part of the president's legal team handling the special counsel investigation led by Robert Mueller. He rejected the notion that his stupid comments might create a negative mood before the meeting, if a meeting would actually take place after he made the stupid comment.

"It is pointing out that the president is the stronger figure," Giuliani said, evidently forgetting the war of words Kim and Trump had in the past. "And you're not going to have useful negotiations unless he accepts that."

This may even be true, but making it public just rubs it in Kim's fat face and that's something the corpulent avunculicider doesn't want to lose.

Trump had written to Kim on May 24: "Based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it is inappropriate, at this time, to have this long-planned meeting. Therefore, please let this letter serve to represent that the Singapore summit, for the good of both parties, but to the detriment of the world, will not take place."

This came, Giuliani told the Associated Press, after Vice President Mike Pence was insulted by the North Koreans, along with National Security Adviser John Bolton [who scares the crap out of Kim] and threatened "nuclear annihilation" of the U.S. Giuliani said the president had no other option but to cancel the summit.

"President Trump didn't take that," Giuliani said. "What he did was he called off the summit [he did]."

Giuliani soon realized how he sounded to the AP and clarified about "what I mean by begging for it." He explained that after the meeting was canceled by Trump, Kim quickly changed his position and expressed his willingness to discuss denuclearization and asked to have the summit again.

Giuliani also explained that he was sharing a personal opinion with the press and was not part of the U.S. foreign policy team.

He needs to keep those types of personal opinions to himself--they can only hurt the administration, the world, and yes, even the entire galaxy.

Kim is over the moon with Moon

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un met with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in a surprised meeting at the demilitarized zone (DMZ) Saturday. The apparent purpose of the meeting is to keep relationships between the two countries and a possible summit between President Trump and Kim on track. 

We don't know much about what was said at the meeting but South Korea's presidential office announced the two-hour meeting that the leaders met on the north side of the DMZ and discussed how to successfully state a summit between Trump and Kim.

This clearly has angered the women of The View and the leftist media who would rather see Trump fail than to see world peace. They couldn't contain their smiles after the meeting was initially called off by President Trump.

Trump to Xi:" N. Korea's threat is going to end one way or another"

Xi's handshake dominates Trump's

President Trump is to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and has referred to China as a "great trading partner." But he made it clear that the increased North Korean threat will be resolved "one way or another."

The question remains, will Xi kiss our president's gold ring and say, "Your wish is my command, Don Trump."

But seriously, this meeting is going to be one of the most critical meetings Trump will have while at the G20. He has already answered Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's probing question as to where Mr. Trump gets his hair cut, and now he must face even bigger world issues.

China is North Korea's biggest trading partner, and has likely provided the regime with the mobile missile launchers they're using to flip the U.S. off. But this also gives China a large influence over Pyongyang and its development of a nuclear warhead.

Trump said that ending North Korea's missile testing "may take longer than I'd like, it may take longer than you'd like. But there will be success in the end one way or another."

It is unclear as to how long either gentlemen would like North Korea's threat to end, but it's highly likely that it's Trump whose timeline is significantly shorter than Xi's because China isn't the nation being threatened by a short, fat lunatic.

"Something has to be done," Trump added wisely.

Xi also got a word in but his comments were in Chinese, which Trump doesn't understand, and the interpreter was apparently on a tea and fortune cookie break.

Trump 'the businessman' said "many things have happened" that created trade imbalances between the US and China but "we're going to turn that around."

Trump was surrounded by about a dozen of his top administration officials and a boatload of Secret Service agents prepared to take a bullet for him. Among those who aren't were Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and son-in-law cum adviser Jared Kushner.

According to a Pentagon spokesman, the missile North Korea test-launched Tuesday was a type not previously seen by U.S. analysts. My guess is that it came from either China, Russia or Iran.

After said launch, Trump expressed frustration with China over the fact that trade not only hasn't decreased or remained the same, it actually expanded!

The President had originally expressed optimism after his first meeting with Xi, where they said they'd work together to rein in Kim Jong Un.  That debacle ended in a Wednesday tweet by Trump: "Trade between China and North Korea grew almost 40% in the first quarter. So much for China working with us--but we had to give it a try!"

Those exclamation marks have become a signature punctuation for our president.

China has a history of allowing North Korea to slide when it comes to sanctions, partly out of fear of the instability that might occur with their "next-door neighbor" which also might result of an inundation of North Koreans fleeing to China. 

China also worries that a democratic Korea, that is, a Korea sans Kim Jong Un and future Kims, would be dominated by South Korea and put a U.S. ally along with U.S. military forces, on its border.

Rex Tillerson wants "stronger measures" holding NoKo accountable. "Global action is required to stop a global threat," he said, adding that any country that helps North Korea militarily or economically , taking in guest workers or failing to fully meet Security Council resolutions is "aiding and abetting a dangerous regime."

But Tillerson diplomatically didn't mention China.

US tells China it's losing patience over N. Korea

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said China needs to do more to force North Korea to stop its nuclear and missile programs or they're gonna be sorry.

The ambassador said the President Trump would raise the issue at his first summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

Haley said Washington wouldn't settle for simply holding another useless UN debate because it has been reported that Pyongyang is getting ready for yet another banned nuclear test and nobody's doing squat.

"I have no patience for it, and it is not helping anyone," she said. "And it's not about me. This administration has no patience for it."

"Look, can we change the way North Korea thinks? No. They're not going to cave. China can, and that's the part we want to look at."

Haley made it clear that she isn't going to take back what she said, not for all the tea in China.

"I know China says they're worried about North Korea. I know China wants to see North Korea stop with the testing. Prove it. Prove it." She said China could prove it is serious by enforcing an embargo against North Korean coal exports.

Funny thing is, however, on February 18, China announced it was halting coal imports from North Korea, but in that month, the trade increased by 40 percent.

Haley claimed Beijing continues the North to trade coal "through other ways" and demanded China "take this as seriously as the rest of the world does."

Trump and Xi will meet at the President's golf resort in Florida--it will be the first meeting between two of the world's greatest powers. These talks will be crucial for setting the tone of future relations, and Haley warned that on North Korea, Trump will demand results.

Or else we may end up bombing the s*** out of them [North Korea].

"I think you're going to see them talk very much about the responsibility that we believe China has," Haley said. "The fact that we don't have the patience to sit here and see it go round and round any more. And the fact that we want action."

When Haley was asked what will we do if crazy Kim lights off another nuke or bomb test, she left the door open for the U.S. to take unilateral action.

In other words, possibly bomb the s*** out of them, believe me.

"If something happens, if this continues down the path that we're going on, I can tell you we're not just going to sit down and say 'Oh, they did it again,'" she said. 

After all, the Obama administration is gone and the country doesn't want to be a target by Dennis Rodman's buddy.

"This is something that is very serious," she said in all seriousness. "This is something the administration is making a priority. And this is something we absolutely expect China and Russia to respond to."
