So, Little Donnie was set to play statesman, and agreed off the cuff to meet with the other currently deranged world leader, Kim Jong Un.
I was really excited about the Summit of the Curiously Coiffed. Alas, probably to no one's surprise, Trump is now backpedaling once again from the brink of his deep ignorance and inexperience. No, says his spokesperson, he won't meet without preconditions. And that, I feel sure, means he won't meet at all.
The winner here is Kim himself, who has demonstrated that like Vladimir Putin, he can play our vain, foolish President. The losers are many. Start with the citizens of the U.S., and add those of South Korea. And Trump himself of course, but why would we be concerned about that?
I think I'm happier with Trump backing off. The thought of Trump and Kim standing face to face arguing "my missile is bigger than yours" is very, very scary.

How true! On the other hand, one could always imagine the unstable Kim might take DT hostage. That would be quite entertaining - Kim probably has never read that O Henry story, "The Ransom of Red Chief."
At this point I'm convinced the meeting will never take place, so it's all moot.
