| Apparently the stupid hair club is negotiating a nuclear disarmament. |
President Donald Trump's stunning decision to meet Kim Jong Un sets up the prospect of the most mind-boggling diplomatic summit in modern history.
Trump, a reality star turned convention busting President, has dubbed Kim "Little Rocket Man" and threatened to rain fire and fury over North Korea, raising fears of a devastating war across the world's last Cold War frontier.
Kim, a portly 30-something whose state media recently blasted Trump as a "lunatic mean old trickster and human reject" presides over a prison state, purges his foes and has vowed to obliterate the US in a nuclear cloud.
The meeting, announced by a South Korean delegation at the White House on Thursday night, would, if it goes ahead, mark an unmatched moment of history in the 70-year standoff between the US and the isolated state.
In the short term, a meeting could defuse the spiraling tensions between the US and North Korea that have raised fears the two nations are on an accelerating slide to a clash that could kill millions on the Korean peninsula.
Now if I had not been observing Doanld Trump carefully these last two years, and only knew him from his reality show and appearances on the Howard Stern Show, I would not think he had a chance of pulling this off.
But having paid close attention since well before he announced his intention to run for president, I KNOW he cannot pull this off.
Kim Jong Un is a man who has murdered members of his own family, and engaged in literally every human rights violation known to man, including starvation, torture, and slavery.
Donald Trump is an arrogant man child, with no diplomatic experience, and a penchant for impulsivity.
North Korea has entered into talks before about doing away with their nuclear program and they stalled almost immediately.
I agree with all of the pundits that this is a positive step, and far better than that whole threat of nuclear annihilation that Trump was trumpeting previously.
However only the dimmest Trump supporters will actually have faith that this will end the potential threat from North Korea.
