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.

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. :)
