Why Kim smiled when Trump showed him a video

-

President Donald Trump said in his postsummit news conference that he showed North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a video of how, together, his country could be improved. He said Kim smiled when he saw it. He smiled because he doesn’t need condos and hotels on his beaches, as Trump suggested in his post- summit news conference.

He smiled because he is already treated like a god and is the richest person in his country.

He smiled because he got the best of America and didn’t have to give up anything in return but vague, empty promises.

President Trump legitimize­d an inhuman dictatorsh­ip and weakened our military by eliminatin­g our joint military readiness exercises for nothing in return but a photo- op. No peace treaty. No verifiable denucleari­zation. No release of Japan’s and other country’s detainees.

Nothing but making the veterans who fought and died in the Korean War do so in vain.

And Kim smiled. Jim Tomczyk, Forest Glen
