Trump: Will know within 'first minute' if North Korea is serious about giving up nukes
By Max Greenwood - 06/09/18 10:37 AM EDT

President Trump said on Saturday that he is "confident" ahead of his planned meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, saying he'll rely on his intuition to determine if the leader is serious about denuclearization.

"This is probably rarely been done. Itâ€™s unknown territory in the truest sense," Trump told reporters at the Group of Seven (G-7) summit in Quebec. "I really feel confident. I really feel that Kim Jong Un wants to do something great for his people and he has that opportunity."

But, Trump warned, "heâ€™ll never have that opportunity again."

At the same press conference, the president also predicted he would know within the "first minute" of meeting Kim whether the North Korea leader was serious about denuclearization.

"I think within the first minute, I'll know," Trump said, prompting a reporter to fire back: "How?"

Yeah, just like GWB knew from one look at Putin that he could be trusted.

1. Trump is neither GW Bush or Obama.

He gives evry indication of Reagan-like positions;
1. "peace through strength

2. "Trust but verify"

There you go again, again. Comparing a two bit grifter to one of the better presidents in US history.

It'll depend on which fast food joint Kim mentions. If he suggests opening a McDonald's or BK in Pyongyang, it's on. Wendy's will signal he's open to ideas. Requesting a Hardees's will mean it's all for show. Bringing up Arthur Treacher's means the entire premise of serious talks was a joke.

These comments by Mr. Trump are less for our consumption than they are for Kim. Especially the message that NK gets one shot at this.

I clearly want our President to be successful here.

Nope. Common sense. You should try it some time.

We all know Reagan was despised heavily by some. I guess, every president is, so we can remember that. In the 1990s, some joker would write in chalk wherever they could, "Clinton Lies", it didn't seem to be a very strong way to protest but there you have it.

Yes, but Trump is no Reagan.

@edpc a

Trump could get whatever he wants if he lays out a big spread of carbs for the little porker. Obviously food is the way to his heart.

ISIS is no longer a threat? Wow, good to know.

When will all the troops from the multitude of countries leave those areas then?

I am not entirely certain what ISIS has to do with North Korea. However, for those so ecstatic about their supposed defeat, just remember that Iran and Turkey have become the dominant influence in those former areas. Erdogan is now threatening a war between cross and crescent - so thereâ€™s that. .

And if it's Taco Bell, well is there a more obvious declaration of war?

It won't be Taco Bell...no way he'll allow a slogan like "Make a run for the border!"

They won't be threats at all. The Norks will just be stoned and playing Xbox all the time.

I think you've got it, no money bribes or strong arm threats. Give every Nork an Xbox with games and all the snacks they could every want from,https://www.leafly.com/products/edibles/snack-foods and they won't ever feel like being aggressive again!

You know, I was completely joking about the whole thing, then Kimâ€™s buddy Rodman shows up in Singapore, sporting this shirt.

I guess it is already too late to get in.

This is not the first time potcoin and its development team engaged Rodman for a high-profile event. Last year, the cryptocurrency project sponsored the retired basketball starâ€™s trip to the hermit nation. That trip was a marketerâ€™s dream. Covered head-to-toe in potcoin apparel, Rodman brought the brand to the mainstream consciousness.

It also sparked an investment frenzy, albeit short-lived. According to Business Insider, the digital tokenâ€™s market capitalization jumped 84% but plummeted a day later.

â€œJust my touch, my feel, thatâ€™s what I do. How long will it take to figure out if theyâ€™re serious? I said maybe in the first minute. You know the way they say you know if youâ€™re going to like somebody in the first five seconds, you ever hear that one?â€ Trump said, according to The Guardian.

Now, I canâ€™t decide whether Trump is there to negotiate denuclearization or if heâ€™s trying to bed Kim Jong Un.
