opposed to kindness or whatever? as trump perceives it? it s counterproductive. so we ve been told the president was briefed specifically, though. you ve been in these situations. you re saying if it were a french general or ally, there are situations in which a president would do what president trump did. but this one he was briefed to not do specifically? this was an obvious mistake. i can t think of a single protocol officer, except maybe a russian one that would tell the president to salute a north korea general. this north korea general, to get a ticket to singapore, probably had to be involved in some malign activity to get close to kim. probably had to do something related to wmd or cyber hacking. so why would anybody tell the president to show him a sign of respect? obviously a crucial role in a nuclear program, which they have said they are developing to 90 late the united states. they ve said that many times before. thissish you re of sanctions, you re pointing out th
