President Donald Trump has set a date for his historic meeting with North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un, and it’s June 12 — a day that will certainly be forged forever in history.
The highly anticipated meeting between Kim Jong Un and myself will take place in Singapore on June 12th. We will both try to make it a very special moment for World Peace!

He tweeted: “We will both try to make it a very special moment for World Peace!”

The meeting comes on the heels of months of hand-wringing from those on the left who expressed shock and awe at the way Trump met Kim’s bully-type rhetoric with similarly bold and blunt rhetoric. The left predicted such tactics would bring doom; apparently, they were wrong.
From the Washington Free Beacon:
President Donald Trump announced Thursday his meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un will take place on June 12 in Singapore, saying they would try to make it a “very special moment for World Peace.”
“The highly anticipated meeting between Kim Jong Un and myself will take place in Singapore on June 12th. We will both try to make it a very special moment for World Peace!” Trump tweeted.
The potential meeting is the latest in a series of remarkable developments in the relationship between the two longtime adversaries. Over the course of 2017, Trump and Kim traded threats. At one point, Trump dubbed Kim “Rocket Man” and said North Korea would be totally destroyed if the regime ever made good on its belligerent nuclear rhetoric against the United States.
The Trump administration has led on enacting tough international sanctions against North Korea, which in addition to its rogue nuclear program has a horrific human rights record.
Kim met with South Korean President Moon Jae In last month in another historic summit, and the South Korean government said Kim stated he would end North Korea’s nuclear program in return for a U.S. promise not to invade the country and formal end to the Korean War.
Trump has said he desires full denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, which to him means “they get rid of their nukes.”
Trump’s announcement comes on the heels of his early-morning greeting of three American prisoners freed by North Korea. The men were detained on what the U.S. called baseless charges, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo worked to secure their release ahead of the Trump-Kim summit.
“We’re starting off on a new footing,” Trump said of the prisoner release. This is a wonderful thing that he released the folks early … Very important to me. I really think we have a very good chance of doing something very meaningful.”

It is remarkable that President Trump can actually manage his time and get things done. Why did America endure the slobs that call themselves democrats?

Imagine if Korea managed to reunify itself and become a full democracy one day…maybe it could be one of the strongest American allies in East Asia.

The meeting in Singapore is a wise move, and I commend our President for what he has done thus far. But even with a solution between Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump, none of us should let down our guard.
And for those who can discern the times, the we are warned, “….concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 NKJV). Am not being pessimistic, but realistic, for we live in an evil world.
And we read in verses 4-11, where Paul encourages the Thessalonians, “….you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.” Those who trust in the Master Yeshua have no fear.

Until there’s a radical change in Kim, I will use his Monica in addressing him…Kim Jong Dong.
