I fear for Donald Trump. He’s making enemies of too many too quickly. Also, the Chinese have much more in common with the North Koreans than with the American people. The Chinese know that if America waged war with North Korea and won we would then establish military bases all over North Korea – right in China’s backyard. Look at a map. The Koreas are nothing more or less than a peninsula of China. Geographically, the Koreas are to China what Florida is to the rest of this country. Again, look at a map.
President Trump can insult Kim Jong-un till the cows come home, calling him “rocketman” or any other name he likes. He had better tread lightly with Xi Jinping, China’s revered leader. (Xi is pronounced like our word “she”. Jinping is pronounced the way it looks Jin-ping). Xi Jinping has been president of China since 2013 when he became that nation’s seventh president.
You can well believe Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-un’s hastily arranged meeting – a first – is in preparation for Trump’s meeting with Kim Jong-un. Kim Jong-un is being told what to say and not to say. What to concede and what not to concede, etc.
Trump’s administration is in a constant flux. This is not good at all. Many of America’s top politicians despise Donald Trump. World leaders around the globe are well aware of this friction. The American government is in a state of continual turmoil. This isn’t just troubling. It is grimly foreboding.
God’s hand and umbrella of protection may well have been removed from this great country. We are a country whose people want to be entertained, not instructed in godliness. We are a nation breeding murderers around the clock. Since 2002 the United States has had the highest incarceration rate in the world. We not only need our prisons, we need more of them. We are as divided today as we were in the months immediately preceding the Civil War. If we had a crystal ball in which to peer and see the future, we might exclaim, “Oh, no. Oh, my God, NO!”
