In 1999 North Korea tried to extort $1 Billion in cash from Israel to halt missile sales to Iran..

Meanwhile NK news suggest that Kim Jong Un was at a potato farm during @SecPompeo visit. KJU was a no show at the meet and after NK officials said US diplomacy is ‘gangster like’
Trumps NK summit seems to have gone very well. Empty promises or contracts as Trump says were signed w NK having absolutely no intention to denuclearize. Only thing that summit did was put strain on our Asian allies
And a reminder that North Korea and Iran have a good working relationship which involved the quick advancement of the nuclear program as well as other shared technologies.

Umm! Trump has been doing business with the Russians including Russian mafia since the 80’s. Trump knows Manafort since 1980. I’m still confused why it’s so hard for analysts and media to understand that Trump and co worked w the Kremlin to steal the election.
Same with Giuliani, Stone, his corrupt children, Kushner, and everyone surrounding Trump. I mean it’s been 3 years of this and by know media should understand what is happening and not only in US but worldwide. Especially in Europe w Putin doing everything to destroy the West
And the purpose for Trump to get into the WH was to implode America from within and destroy America on the international stage including wrecking relationships w our allies. It’s really not that hard to see what’s happening

800,000 federal employees are panicking about paying for rent and their living expenses and Trump is using the #TrumpsShutdown to collect donations

@realDonaldTrump has been a con his whole life
Is he running out of money for his legal expenses? Conspiracy against America can be quite expensive to defend
Besides hurting federal employees this shutdown has worked as a perfect distraction for Putin and Trump overseas.

This is very important to watch! I have been following the story on the Russian side since last spring when the Kremlin considered several ways of getting Deripaska’s companies out of sanctions. According to the Russians Mnuchin provided a path for lifting sanctions in April 2018

From April 2018

During roundtable event in Duluth, Trump tries to explain association health care plans: "We just got association health care approved. So it will be incredible. You associate as companies & as people, you will get great healthcare at a much lower price than you have been paying"
Trump still hasn't figured out that FDR didn't serve 16 years. (He only served 12, but Trump has repeatedly got it wrong.)
Trump brings up his EO, says "you have plenty of problems up here in MN with respect to people coming in..it's probably one of the reasons I almost won MN which hasn't been won by an R in long time..you've seen a big difference already in MN." (ppl have not seen a big difference)

I'm just going to lay this down so no one is surprised by the outcome of the negotiations with North Korea.

There is no one easier to manipulate than a narcissist.

Trump is a simpleton sitting down for chess.

1/
Kim Jong Un is employing a simple, predictable outcome with simple, predictable results.

Step 1 - Show the stick. Rattle the saber. Raise the world's anxieties.

Step 2 - Lurch abruptly to the other pole. Show the carrot. Offer to relieve all of that anxiety.

2/
Step 3 - Feed Trump's ego. Get him to lean in... and then let him do what he is utterly compelled to do as a severe narcissist:

Rush in to take premature credit and declare premature victory.

When @JZarif says, "#Iran never raced towards a bomb, nor will it race towards a bomb," rest assured it is the exact opposite.
We will realize how Tehran sought nuclear arms for decades. For a country sitting on an ocean of oil & gas, a "peaceful" nuclear program is meaningless.
A very telling cartoon about #NorthKorea & #Iran, as Pyongyang signals indications to set aside its nuclear weapons/ballistic missile program. This is leaving Tehran as now sole target of the international community's soon-to-come pressures.
For those who describe #Iran's FM @JZarif as a "moderate" or "reformist"

"We will exit the NPT. / We will launch advanced enrichment," he says in response to Trump's May 12th #IranDeal deadline.
