Speaking on CNN, National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow said Trump's retailatory Tweet to Trudeau was Trump's effort to look tough before the big Singapore summit with Kim Jong Un, North Korea’s leader.
No, Trump's implosion at the "G6+1 Clown" and explosion afterward was not a strategy. It's what Trump always does. A strategy implies some kind of change in behavior for the needs of the moment.
I'm not worried about the Korean meeting. Kim and Trump are like Hitler and Stalin. They like each other. Authoritarians often do. Kim's not going to give up his nukes (which were finished under Trump, BTW.) Trump's not going to stop US-South Korea war games. He's got too much of a hard on for hard power. Though he might step them back a little: pretend the forces are invading the Philippines instead of Kim's feifdom.
The worst that could happen is Kim might give Trump some good advice on how to run a prison state. I'm not too worried about that. Trump's not capable of learning anything. He's all 'tude.
