In a somber interview with Reuters this evening, Trump sounded a bit lonely, a bit taxed — conceding that we might be heading for a ‘major, major conflict’ with N. Korea.

“There is a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with North Korea. Absolutely.”

He did say, however, that he wasn’t going to do anything that might hurt the President of China now, as he considers Xi to be a great leader and a friend.

“I believe he is trying very hard. He certainly doesn’t want to see turmoil and death. He doesn’t want to see it. He is a good man. He is a very good man and I got to know him very well.”

Trump added, “We’d love to solve things diplomatically but it’s very difficult.”

He then went on to lament about how much work the Presidency is and how his privacy is non-existent — drolling on about being isolated by security. He bemoaned about not being able to head outside to dinner or drive a car.

Then back to foreign affairs, he said the Saudi’s were treating us very unfairly. Essentially, we’re their defense and they do nothing for us.

The path to defeating ISIS is via humiliation, said Trump.

“I have to say, there is an end. And it has to be humiliation.”

Trump said North Korea was his biggest global challenge. He lavished praise on Chinese President Xi Jinping for Chinese assistance in trying to rein in Pyongyang. The two leaders met in Florida earlier this month.

Summing up N. Korea, Trump noted how difficult it must’ve been for 27yr old Kim Jong Un to take over his Father’s role as leader.

“I’m not giving him credit or not giving him credit, I’m just saying that’s a very hard thing to do. As to whether or not he’s rational, I have no opinion on it. I hope he’s rational.”
