You keep running with this, but what are people supposed to discuss? Its on Trump that he creates a vacumn of “real” things to discuss.
a) His actual policy work consists of 1 pager executive orders which are more statements of intent. His only substantial policy work was the tax bill which was secretive before hand and perhaps more importantly why would Australians debate American taxes.
b) he does very little interviews. You cant complain that we talk about innuendo or tweets when thats all there is.
He did a long form interview with the wall street journal during the week and well if you can decipher this jumble of nonsense below. Apparently he has a relationship with Kim Jong Un, somehow a trade deficit with South Korea is a bargaining chip, not sure how given they are an ally. Plus someone needs to explain wedges aren’t about golf, so he probably doesn’t know more about wedges than any human in living history.

WSJ: You think North Korea is trying to drive a wedge between the two countries, between you and President Moon?
Mr. Trump: I’ll let you know in—within the next 12 months, OK, Mike?
WSJ: Sure.
Mr. Trump: I will let you know. But if I were them I would try. But the difference is I’m president; other people aren’t. And I know more about wedges than any human being that’s ever lived, but I’ll let you know. But I’ll tell you, you know, when you talk about driving a wedge, we also have a thing called trade. And South Korea—brilliantly makes—we have a trade deficit with South Korea of $31 billion a year. That’s a pretty strong bargaining chip to me.
With that being said, President Xi has been extremely generous with what he’s said, I like him a lot. I have a great relationship with him, as you know I have a great relationship with Prime Minister Abe of Japan and I probably have a very good relationship with Kim Jong Un of North Korea.
I have relationships with people, I think you people are surprised.
WSJ: Just to be clear, you haven’t spoken to the North Korean leader, I mean when you say a relationship with Korea—
Mr. Trump: I don’t want to comment on it—I don’t want to comment, I’m not saying I have or I haven’t. But I just don’t—
