Trump Offers COVID19 Aid To…North Korea
Read Time:2 Minute, 29 Second
Trump can’t handle the American coronavirus crisis, and resources such as masks, ventilators, testing equipment, and etc. are stretched thin and in some cases nonexistent, but he is offering to help NK as the latter fires off rockets with the intent of building technology that can harm the USA.
Here’s the summary from Newser:
Trump sent a personal letter to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, seeking to maintain good relations and offering cooperation in fighting the viral pandemic, Kim’s sister said Sunday. The correspondence came as Kim observed the firing of tactical guided weapons over the weekend, drawing criticism from South Korea, as nuclear talks remain deadlocked. In a statement carried by KCNA, Kim’s sister and senior ruling party official, Kim Yo Jong, praised Trump for the letter at a time when “big difficulties and challenges lie ahead in the way of developing ties” between the countries. She said Trump explained his plan to “propel the relations between the two countries … and expressed his intent to render cooperation in the anti-epidemic work.” She said her brother expressed gratitude for Trump’s letter. North Korea has repeatedly said there hasn’t been a single case of coronavirus on its soil. Some foreign experts question that claim and say an outbreak in the North could cause a humanitarian disaster because of its poor medical infrastructure.
Last month, the State Department expressed concerns about North Korea’s vulnerability to a potential coronavirus outbreak and said it was ready to support efforts by aid organizations to contain the spread of the illness in the North. There was no comment from the White House, notes the AP. Kim Yo Jong said Trump’s letter is “a good example showing the special and firm personal relations” between the North Korean and US leaders. But she said it’s not a good idea to “make hasty conclusion or be optimistic about” the prospect for bilateral relations. “I think that the bilateral relations and dialogue for them would be thinkable only when the equilibrium is kept dynamically and morally and justice ensured between the two countries,” she said. “Even at this moment we are working hard to develop and defend ourselves on our own under the cruel environment which the US is keen to ‘provide.'”
There is seemingly no end to Trump’s monstrous, reckless behavior, and yet over 60 million Americans love him, and may well re-elect him if Democrats aren’t careful.

Het, maybe we could swap leaders. We might be better off with Little Kim and give them Trump.
This is easily one of his worst butt fucking moves so far. I mean, I understand trying to maintain open communications with NK. It is the diplomatic thing to do, but for christ sake, there are more deserving countries in the world than NK and Little Kim. He is doing this so he can brag that he has achieved a lot more than anyone else with NK. That is true. He has gotten his butt kicked by Kim in every way except physically. America has lost more ground in negotiating nuclear deals than any time since we started negotiating nuclear deals. We are less safe than we have ever been before. Other than the fact that Trump and his people are idiots I simply cannot understand why this country is in the shape we are in since we knew this crisis was coming back in January. Trump has been too friggin’ busy trying to save his ass to do any real work.
We are more deserving than NK, which is the whole point, as you say. We are less safe than we have ever been before.
Hey Mike, how come this isn’t on CNN? I might have missed it, but I don’t think so, and this is big news isn’t it?
