So officials from South Korea, who had been in talks with the leadership in North Korea headed stateside to begin the process of facilitating talks. Now, if literally any other person were sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office, (and I mean literally anyone else, like George W., definitely Obama, hell Nixon would probably knock it out of the park!) this might feel like hopeful news of a resolution that we might not have expected in our life time. As much as Trump has exacerbated tensions with North Korea, he’s not at fault for the precarious situation they’ve created. But it will be his fault when things go south with these talks, because I can’t bring myself to believe in the hope that Donald Trump will handle this situation with dignity and class. I just don’t have that level of optimism. I mean, he can’t seem to decide if the invitation he accepted to chat with North Korean leadership is a good idea.
