Kim Jong-Un has found a bizarre way to exploit Donald Trump’s fast food obsession

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Kim Jong-Un is an unstable and patently evil dictator, and the world would be a whole lot better off without him. Unfortunately for the world, Kim is proving himself to be savvier at the whole “evil” thing than anyone thought. Even more unfortunately for the world, an idiot like Donald Trump is the one currently tasked with trying to deal with Kim. Now we’re learning that Kim is so adept at playing Trump like a fiddle, he’s even figured out how to exploit Trump’s obsession with McDonald’s.

Donald Trump desperately needs to get Kim Jong-Un to go along with denuclearization, as Trump believes that such a “victory” is his best hope of preventing what’s left of his failed and criminal presidency from going down the drain. The trouble is that Kim knows this, and he’s been toying with Trump all along. First Kim threatened to cancel their upcoming summit, prompting Trump to panic and cancel it in a huff.

That’s left Trump suddenly trying to convince Kim to put the summit back on the table. Kim is playing along, sending an envoy to the United States to talk about maybe rescheduling the summit. Now the CIA has released a surreal new report which details that even if Kim does go through with the summit, he has no intention of offering to get rid of his nuclear program. Instead – and this is somehow real according to NBC News – the CIA has learned that Kim is planning to offer to let Trump and the United States open a burger joint in North Korea.

So now we see what Kim Jong-Un’s strategy is. He’s going to string Donald Trump along, and just as Trump is formally insisting that Kim agree to get rid of his nukes, Kim is instead going to offer ridiculous concessions instead. It’ll allow Kim to look vaguely reasonable. Even if his offer to open up a McDonald’s with Trump isn’t taken seriously by anyone, it’ll at least paint Kim as being something less than a seething madman. Of course in the process, Kim is turning the whole thing into a backhanded joke about the longtime widespread reports that Trump eats a Big Mac or two for dinner every day.
