Trump rips up these legal documents that staffers are forced to tape back together

Politico and CNN report:

Washington (CNN)White House aides realized earlier on that they could not stop Failing Cheeto-Faced Ferret-Wearing Shit Gibbon from tearing up papers he must preserve to stay in line with the Presidential Records Act, Politico reported Sunday, citing people familiar with the practice.

So to avoid clashing with the law, some staffers have taped his pieces back together "like a jigsaw puzzle," Solomon Lartey, a former records management analyst, told Politico.
Lartey said he got clear tape and reassembled clips Trump had torn up, including a letter from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
"I had a letter from Schumer -- he tore it up," Lartey said. "It was the craziest thing ever. He ripped papers into tiny pieces."

Demented old crook Donnie the Dumpster is probably that well conditioned to destroying the 'paper trails' connected to all his past crooked and shonky business dealings, he's more likely than not to be on auto-pilot when he's shredding those papers...

Everyone who has dumped on Donald here, are you prepared to swallow a spoonful of humiliation ?

The only President to bring North Korea to the negotiation table for 60 years. [still don't like him but you have to give him credit]

What peace?  I know he signed a document that says, We'll try to bring peace...  I have repeatedly said I will try to lose weight too.  We learned in the first year of law school, an agreement to agree is nothing!!

Where is the program?  Where are the specifics?  What is the trade-off?  What is the verification protocol?  Has North Korea even delivered a map of its nuclear sites?  Eisenhower, Kennedy, Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Obama got this far...only to have North Korea say, I'll call you back!, and hang up.

What you have just been treated to, nicko, is a Trump reality TV trailer.  A photo-op and a hand-shake...run up the stairs to Air Force One, a wave, and thanks for all the fish.  

When North and South Korea are reunited, an end (and treaty..) is finally declared to the Korean War, and the Korean Peninsula is once again a "nuclear free zone"...

Then those various participants can claim "a job well done !"

Until then, their premature twitterings remain just that..

Sorry but it s0unds like sour grapes to me, at least he got him to the table witch is more than any other President did ! You have to give him credit for that don't you ? As for how it turns out I'll keep my fingers crossed, as should all the other critics .

Trump said it himself.
He sees the sandy beaches and run down coastal resorts as an opportunity to build huge resort hotels, at great expense to a country than cannot afford them, but at a huge profit for himself.
When you ask the question "What's in it for Trump?"
The answer is always 'Follow the money.

And what does that mean?  They didn't even serve food?  Why fly all the way to Singapore?  Why meet?  Why sign a document that says we all agree to be nice...starting someday.

The only thing I read as going on. is this is the beginning of a unilateral withdrawal by the US of it's protection of far eastern nations like, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and even perhaps Australia, at the order of the capo de capo, Putin himself.

Look how it happened.  It began with Trump driving a wedge in between the US and the Big 7, in Canada, which is the wet dream of Russian expansion.  It happens amid Russia's expansionist moves against the Ukraine, Syria, and the annexation of Crimea.  The meeting between Un Pak and Trump was behind closed doors, so who knows what was said?  And they come out and hold up a document that says...we agree to agree...perhaps...someday...

The only thing of significance was that Trump declared an end to military exercises in Korea, which incidentally are the only regular military exercises in the far east.  Amid all the clouds, and noise, and big show...that's all that happened.

Incidentally, did anyone observe how docile and quiet Un Pak was?  He was like a stiff prop.  Well...and he enjoyed the nightlife of Singapore.

Russians are not only good poets, they are excellent chess players.  Do you see how many moves ahead this former KGB agent can think?

the deal is not a lot different than the one struck by Clinton in 1994

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-10/us-north-korea-deal-has-been-signed-before/9850338

Given all this, you might think there had never been such high-level talks before between the US and North Korea, much less a formal agreement that already promised everything today's leaders are working towards, including full "resolution of the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula".

It's easy to forget a similar deal was once signed, sealed, and delivered … but inevitably unravelled.

It could easily happen again.

True, the Singapore summit will be the first ever sit-down, face-to-face meeting of a serving US president and North Korean leader. No two leaders have done that before.

But at a basic level, today's leaders will be retracing the footsteps of their predecessors, among them Bill Clinton and Kim Il-sung, grandfather to Mr Kim, who two decades ago signed a landmark agreement that promised to end Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions for good.

the only thing different is a Face to Face between the leaders, instead of via diplomats and foreign secretaries

It's all a show. Putin in 2014 called on the US to stop military exercises in Korea. Trump has done that and received nothing in return.

Putin is running US policy.

Veya, do you not think face to face meetings are at least a start ?

to be honest I think the world underestimates Kim,

he is the 3rd brother, he outplayed 2 other heirs to get the Dictatorship
he has proven completely ruthless in Securing his Position internally
he has been playing China and the USA off each other for years

as I have been saying form the beginning these Talks have come about because of Kim
and Kim wouldn't be taking part if there wasn't something to gain for him


I think he has played Trump, he has been given a leg up against South Korea.
And who else really hates the War Games held just north of the Disputed China seas(with the new artificial Islands) ?
CHINA the one state the NK dictator is dependant on. (and visited not long ago)

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/08/kim-jong-un-meets-xi-jinping-in-second-surprise-visit-to-china
The North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, has made a second surprise visit to China to meet its president, Xi Jinping, amid a flurry of diplomacy as Kim prepares for a summit with Donald Trump.

A start to what?  If Trump were seriously representing the United States, one could presume his aims are for something in the US interest.  Then why does he give up military preparedness and get nothing in return.  That's not negotiation; that's treason.

Tune in, nicko.  The guy was paid for by Russia, aided during the election by Russia, is now run by Russia, and working for Russian interests.  He's a Russian agent, FGS.  Russia even has Kompromat on him, as your own countryman and MI6 tells us.  The guy's a traitor...all for greed and corruption.

Look back in another 5 years, and see if one of Trump's companies is managing North Korea's first golf resort and retirement village development...

Anyone who looks back in 5 years will claim he voted for the other guy.

Difficult to know which thread to add this to, but Paul Manafort has had his bail revoked for fear of flight (to Russia or N Korea?).
Now in jail.
