      Trump learned about carbon dating and wants to set a new atmospheric caesium milestone for everyone to compare to

      trump-drenched They called it radiocarbon date-ing, I said, I don’t know what that means why don’t we call it Trump Dating. Melania doesn’t like me to talk about that very much!

      This might sound like a lib take, but I suspect he might be feeling jealousy of Kim Jong Un. A reporter mentioned North Korea’s missile tests yesterday. For over a week, Trump teased the idea that he would meet with Kim during his Asia trip this week. Earlier today, Trump said that plans to meet with Kim had been canceled due to scheduling. I suspect that Kim rejected Trump’s offer to meet. Trump also announced today that the US would be building a nuclear-powered submarine for South Korea.

      It is my understanding that Kim Jong Un liked Trump as a friend but also knows that Trump has a policy of aggression towards DPRK. Trump is a fake friend to Kim basically. In a press release from Kim Yo Jong, she suggested that Trump was trying to be Kim’s friend only to trick DPRK into denuclearization.

      It is true that Trump, when he was president, tried to reflect the special personal relations between the heads of states in the relations between states, but he did not bring about any substantial positive change.

      He that puts on a public gown must put off a private person. The foreign policy of a state and personal feelings must be strictly distinguished.

      I do not want to deny the fact that the personal relationship between the head of our state and the present U.S. president is not bad.

      However, if the personal relations between the top leaders of the DPRK and the U.S. are to serve the purpose of denuclearization, it can be interpreted as nothing but a mockery of the other party.

      Here’s the clip where Trump is asked about DPRK’s recent missile tests. Western media has reported a claim the DPRK chose to fire the missiles around the same time that Trump’s plane landed. I’m doubting this claim, DPRK did perform missiles but I’m doubting the relation with the plane landing, though DPRK does typically performing missile tests in response to South Korea military drills.

      Trump tells the reporter “he’s been launching missiles for decades”. Then teases that idea of meeting with Kim soon. Trump later said that the meeting is canceled.

        They’ve been—he’s been launching missiles for decades

        Small insight here into Trump being quite aware of language use. He knows it’s “they” but corrects to “he” for the media presentation of DPRK as a complete dictatorship under the supreme command of Kim. He understands this is incorrect and defaults to the correct usage before changing it for the media.

      Because the capitalists have a negative conscience I guess? Like they definitely do have a conscience but then they just use it to optimize for maximum wrongness.
