[AMV] Amerikaanse politiek #471 Stormy en Kim

Dan vind ik de uitleg dat voorgaande presidenten altijd geweigerd hebben omdat de Kim niet willen legitimeren toch een stuk aannemelijker. Door op het hoogste niveau te gaan praten, erkent Trump in Kim zijn gelijke, waarmee hij ook de dreiging serieus neemt. Kim kan nu zeggen "zie je wel! Wij hebben de Amerikanen aan tafel gedwongen!".

[...]

Ik zou nog eerder geloven dat Kim het had bedoeld als grap, en nu rollend van het lachen door zijn kantoor gaat omdat Trump zo dom is om hierop in te gaan.

quote:

Concerns about his approach will be magnified by the impulsive way he announced the breakthrough, bursting into the White House briefing room, to tell journalists to expect a major announcement.

Reflecting his craving for affirmation, the excited President told Jon Karl of ABC News, even at this early stage of the process "hopefully, you will give me credit," offering little sign he appreciates the magnitude of the task he faces.

Top officials in the Pentagon, and even in his own White House were unaware something was afoot until Trump appeared before reporters. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who earlier cautioned that talks with Pyongyang were a distant prospect, was thousands of miles away in Africa.

En de relevantie met de amerikaanse politiek is...?

quote:

Jared Kushner’s family company recently began construction on an oceanfront development in this Jersey Shore city, a project that has the strong backing of local officials, who agreed to support it with $20 million in bonds.

But unknown to Long Branch officials, the Kushners have been in talks to team up with another family-run company that has an even bigger presence in the White House: the Trump Organization.

The Kushners are in private discussions to have President Trump’s company manage at least one hotel at the center of the development known as Pier Village, according to people briefed on the previously unreported talks. The Kushner Companies and the Trump Organization have signed a letter of intent, though no deal is final and the Kushners are not required to inform city officials.

The long-running talks blur the line between family, business and politics in ways that lack precedent: Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Kushner, the president’s senior adviser and son-in-law, retain financial interests in their family businesses. The Trump Organization’s outside ethics adviser has raised questions about a potential deal — one reason the two-year-long discussions have not been completed.

The talks are underway as the White House role of Mr. Kushner has become increasingly strained because of his business dealings. Mr. Kushner lost his top-secret security clearance last month, in part because of worries that foreign governments might try to gain influence by doing business with him.

While Mr. Kushner has sold some holdings in Kushner Companies, he has held on to a majority of his stake, including an ownership interest in the recent $283 million expansion of Pier Village. Mr. Trump has handed over management of his company to his two oldest sons, but the president continues to own it.

“The concern is that the president might not want to do anything that would upset the Kushner family agreement to do business with his company,” said Marilyn L. Glynn, who served as general counsel in the Office of Government Ethics during Republican and Democratic administrations, when told by The New York Times about the Trump-Kushner talks.

The White House declined to comment. Both companies on Friday confirmed their discussions about the hotel in Pier Village, while dismissing ethics concerns.

President Trump is in discussions with a veteran Washington lawyer who represented Bill Clinton during the impeachment process about joining the White House to help deal with the special counsel inquiry, according to four people familiar with the matter.

The lawyer, Emmet T. Flood, met with Mr. Trump in the Oval Office this past week to discuss the possibility, according to the people. No final decision has been made, according to two of the people.

Should Mr. Flood come on board, the two people said, his main duties would be a day-to-day role helping the president navigate his dealings with the Justice Department.

Two people close to the president said that the overture to Mr. Flood did not indicate any new concerns about the inquiry. Still, it appears, at the least, to be an acknowledgment that the investigation is unlikely to end anytime soon

Mr. Flood would not replace Ty Cobb, the White House lawyer who since last summer has taken the lead role in dealing with the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III. But Mr. Cobb has told friends for weeks that he views his position as temporary and does not expect to remain in the job for much longer.

Mr. Cobb’s primary task — producing documents for Mr. Mueller and arranging for White House aides to meet with prosecutors — is largely complete. Mr. Trump’s personal lawyers have been handling negotiations with Mr. Mueller over the terms of a presidential interview.

Mr. Flood had been on the wish list of some of the president’s advisers to join his legal team last year, and he is the only person the White House has been in contact with about such a role.

White House officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Mr. Flood declined to comment.

Heb dit nu drie keer gelezen. Maar ik krijg echt het idee ik een of ander schrijfsel zit te lezen van iemand die op hetzelfde geestelijke niveau zit als een Caligula, Ivan Grozny of Idi Amin. Manmanman, wat een niveau. Maar ook weer schitterend dat je dit soort wereldgeschiedenis meemaakt.

Ik zie je hier echt nul argumenten of bronnen aandragen, enkel fictie. Probeer dat eerst maar eens voordat je anderen de maat neemt, want je aannames en veronderstellingen lijken niet echt een basis te hebben in de realiteit.
