North Korea threatens to withdraw from summit with Trump

Their professed love for Kim. Trump even brags at campaign speeches about Kim chopping off heads of family. As we can see they smirk at the idea of someone getting executed.

These acts attract their admiration and we have to call it what it is to fully understand the dangers Trumps ignorance bring to those who follow him. As we can see this past week from his Japan trip, these executions haven't changed his love for Kim, and that should alarm all around Kim.

If I were US president and negotiating with North Korea, I would be trying to do what was in the US best interest. If an action of mine resulted in Kim killing advisors, that would not concern me a whit.  He's going to be killing people no matter what, and concern for the lives of elite leaders in a totalitarian military organization would be at the very bottom of my priorities. It would under not circumstances influence policy goals.

This is quite a separate issue from what happens to people who follow Trump in his own administration or allies who suck up to him.
