President Trump has reportedly accepted North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un's invitation to meet with him to discuss that country's nuclear program. It is not known where the meeting will take place, but it is expected to take place by May.
Assuming Trump does meet with Kim in the near future, I wonder how long it will be before he begins praising him as he has praised authoritarian/totalitarian leaders China's Xin Jinping, Vladimir Putin of Russia, Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey and Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte. How long will it be before Trump calls Kim a nice man who is very popular in his country? How long it will it be before Trump wishes he had Kim's power?
From where I sit these are questions of when rather than if. In which case, the people of North Korea will be condemned to more repression with the blessing of President of the United States all because Kim finds a way to butter up Donald Trump.
