Trump to Hold Second Summit With Kim Jong Un in February, U.S. Says

U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will meet near the end of February for a second summit, despite evidence North Korea is advancing its nuclear weapons program.

The White House announced the summit and timing after Trump met Friday with Kim Yong Chol, a top aide to the North Korean leader and a former spy chief.

Trump's decision to go ahead with another in-person meeting -- further elevating Kim's global profile -- underscores the president's confidence that his personal involvement and negotiating skills can change the behavior of recalcitrant regimes in ways that traditional leverage and diplomacy, past U.S. leaders and his own emissaries could not.

    A desperate attempt by The Trump Crime Family™ to distract attention from the inexorable march of the Mueller investigation.

      And any day now, Hillary

      Translation:

      Dear Leader is in trouble and try as I might, I can't come up with any way to defend him. So make a random and unrelated complaint about Hillary! That is good for a few upmods from Asperger's-addled morons who will immediately forget what the original topic of discussion was. Keep everyone's attention away from Dear Leader. Deflect! Deflect!

        Isn't calling someone a moron and health-shaming them cause for your tribe to dox and unperson you?

        There may be a Republican in you yet. :)

      No. You're thinking about President Pelosi. It's Mueller time.

    That one's a real march. A long and very sad one. From the phoney Steele Dossier -- the Piss Dossier -- that Crooked H & DNC illegally paid for. To, now we have Weakling Michael Cohen, a PR person who did small legal work, lieing to achieve a lighter sentence. And we have the others lieing to avoid jail.

    "The Clinton campaign weaponized American intelligence and law enforcement communities -- led by Democratic appointees of President Barack Obama -- through false, malicious, wholly manufactured lies about the Republican nominee, now President, Donald J. Trump." The Coolidge Reagan Foundation.

    Gregg Jarrett: "Mueller’s prosecutors knew the "Dossier" was the product of bias and deception." It was a Fake, just like so much news coverage in our Country.

    Russia Dossier reporter now doubts dopey Christopher Steele’s claims! "When you get into the details of the Steele Dossier, the specific allegations, we have not seen the evidence to support them. There’s good grounds to think that some of the more sensational allegations….......….WILL NEVER BE PROVEN AND ARE LIKELY FALSE." Thank you to Michael Isikoff, Yahoo, for honesty. What this means is that the FISA WARRANTS and the whole Russian Witch Hunt is a Fraud and a Hoax which should be ended immediately. Also, it was paid for by Crooked Hillary & DNC!

    "Thus, a foreign citizen controlled the collection and dissemination of information, largely from foreign government agents and other foreign nationals, intended to influence a federal election." The Coolidge Reagan Foundation again. And they're talking about Dopey Christopher Steele. "Formerly" of British Secret Intelligence. The British CIA. Can you imagine if the shoe was on the other foot? And Jeremy Corbyn sent tons of money to America, hired a "former" CIA guy to come up with dirt on Nigel? They'd bring back Death Penalty so they could hang Jeremy.

    Michael Isikoff was the first to report Dossier allegations and now seriously doubts the Dossier claims. The whole Russian Collusion thing was a HOAX, but who is going to restore the good name of so many people whose reputations have been destroyed? Nothing but a Witch Hunt, from beginning to end!
