TRUMP ASKED WHY A 'PRETTY KOREAN LADY' WASN'T NEGOTIATING WITH KIM JONG UN

Months before President Donald Trump referred to African nations as “shithole countries,” he broke his decorum by reportedly asking why a “pretty Korean lady” who briefed him on policy wasn’t negotiating with North Korea on behalf of his administration.

The exchange occurred in the Oval Office last fall when a career intelligence analyst specializing in hostage policy explained to Trump the impending release of a family that had been held in Pakistan. Afterward, Trump asked her, “Where are you from,” two anonymous officials told NBC News.

The analyst said she was from New York, and when Trump was unsatisfied, elaborated that she was from Manhattan, which is also his hometown. The president asked her where “your people” were from, according to the officials, leading the analyst to disclose that her parents are Korean.

Trump then asked an adviser in the room why the “pretty Korean lady” wasn’t negotiating with North Korea, suggesting that her ethnicity should guide her career path.

Reminder for Trump defenders... the procedure is:

1) claim it's fake and Trump wouldn't be so stupid

Then, after the White House confirms it's true, proceed to step 2.

2) Crow how it's the most brilliant move ever.

That's totally not true.  I'm a hater and I rarely read communist rags.  I just really enjoy making fun of doofuses.

They should get Katy Perry to do the negotiations.  Haven’t they seen The Interview?

H.L. Mencken has proved prophetic:

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

Well that's it.  Impeach him

Few people who weren't raised there understand the culture well enough let alone the language.

It has been "perfected" for quite awhile then...

Sorry, but is it so hard to believe that Kim would be swayed much more easily by a pretty negotiator? He's the only man-child bigger than Trump, and Trump would know what sways a man-child, so this actually makes sense.

Not at all.  He loves Dennis Rodman......

[Sanguine]

I don't understand why this is "news".

[jpsb]

So what exactly do you have against pretty Korean ladies?

Kimchi breath?

[driftdiver]

Kimchi breath?

We smell like spoiled milk to them.


But imagine walking down the street and having about 500 girls like that get off work and fill the street around you.   Sigh the good old days

[jpsb]

Kimchi breath?

They don't all eat fermented cabbage.

[driftdiver]

They don't all eat fermented cabbage.

If they are from Korea they do.  Not really fermented though, it's pickled.

The garlic is worse though but really it's only detectable if they drink a lot.

Be honest if you can.  Do you truly believe this is true simply because it came out of Newsweek with anonymous sources.  Newsweek.  Really?

I hope you’re noticing the Lib pattern that is happening as well.  They took down a bunch of folks with the sexual harassment BS.  They didn’t do it for shits and grins or because they suddenly woke up one morning and decided to give a damn about women.  There’s a method to their madness.  Look at that article and the re-drumming of the porn star story and think about it.  Is this truly what you want to support?  I would think not, but with some of you I wouldn’t bet my life on it.

I’m not sure who you’re addressing here but since it was immediately after my post, I’ll gladly respond.  I gave that post a thumbs up simply because it’s so appropriate for a brother-in-law of mine who’s a big Trump supporter.  That post represented his typical MO:  first yell “fake news, fake news, fake news” as loud and as often as he can on any news he doesn’t like.  Then when it’s confirmed to the point that even the most devoted sycophant can’t deny it, he proclaims how Trump is so brilliant that the rest of us mere mortals just can’t understand the 12-dimensional chess moves he’s making.  It gets rather tiresome to me involving a childish President whom I think just doesn’t have much impulse control and who seems to tweet and say whatever pops into his head.

I see the VP of the Trump hate boner brigade has expressed his approval of his leaders post.

You rock Man.

I seem to have lost my copy of the communist manifesto........oh wait, it was never my copy. It was property of the state.

Trump hater?  I praise Trump right here on TBR when he does things I think are praise-worthy (e.g., Gorsuch, regulations, FL/TX hurricane response, ISIS, stock market, campaign strategy, etc.), and I criticize him when he does things I think deserve criticism (e.g., lack of fiscal conservatism, lack of temperament, stupid tweets, lies, etc.).  Shouldn't everyone do that?
