Trump Thinks Kim Jong Un Is a 'Smart Cookie,' Would Totally Meet With Him
Politics
Donald Trump—the human equivalent of a teenage boy slumber party abundant in erections and pimples—has lately engaged in some tough guy talk regarding North Korea. And in turn, North Korea’s government has suggested that Trump stop tweeting pugnacious nonsense if he doesn’t want trouble. But amidst these crackling tensions, Trump has redirected course, remarking that he’d be “honored” to meet with the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un—that, indeed, the authoritarian dictator is “a pretty smart cookie.”
As the Associated Press reports, Trump introduced this possibility on Monday in response to Bloomberg News—a rhetorical move that renders the administration’s policy towards North Korea even more incoherent. Lately the White House has sought an appropriate strategy to address North Korea’s overtures of nuclear aggression.
And of course, Trump has tweeted his feelings on the matter.
North Korea has become one of the United States’s paramount security concerns. Flaunting the development of their nuclear program, the communist dictatorship grows nearer to building a weapon that could reach America’s mainland. And while North Korea consistently threatens to destroy the U.S., propaganda videos depicting our country’s fiery annihilation are no less unnerving.
In contrast with Barack Obama’s “strategic patience”—an approach Trump assesses as a “total failure”—the new administration had toyed with a more aggressive methodology. They have even contemplated a pre-emptive strike if Pyongyang administers one more nuclear test. But the White House has also considered more peaceful measures: renewed negotiations and food aid as soon as North Korea begins disassembling its nuclear and missile programs.
