No. 286.1: EXTRA! Trump - Kim Set To Meet, Hold On To Your Seat


WASHINGTON — North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, has invited President Trump to meet for negotiations over its nuclear program, an audacious diplomatic overture that would bring together two strong-willed, idiosyncratic leaders who have traded threats of war.

Is there on Earth a room big enough
to contain two such massive egos?
When they get there will this odd pair
discover they're bosom amigos?

Scheduled for May, a long way away,
this meeting may go nowhere.
Needless to say, Trump and Kim may
be astounded by the other's hair.

Donald, doubtless, will school the dear leader
with details on the art of deal.
And for his part, no doubt, Kim will impart
his wisdom on bringing opponents to heel.

If Donald speaks of Roy Cohn's legal tactics
which cause those you oppose to have fits.
Kim can counter with the best anti-aircraft
you can use to blow them to bits.
