President Donald Trump, infamous for his short attention span, inability to read lengthy documents, and preference for pictures over the printed word, talked with reporters for about 20 minutes Friday morning before leaving to attend the G-7 in Canada.
Asked about a report that said Trump believes what’s most important about his strategy in dealing with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un next week at what will be a historic meeting in Singapore, Trump refuted the claim that he said he didn’t need to prepare.
“I said I’ve been preparing all my life. I always believe in preparation. But I have been preparing all my life,” President Trump says. “These one-week preparations, they don’t work. Just ask Hillary [Clinton] — what happened to her in the debates.”
Work peace could be at stake with these talks.
On Thursday Trump said “attitude” was more important than preparation for the North Korea nuclear talks.
A Gallup poll found voters thought Hillary Clinton won all three presidential debates over Trump by large margins. She also won the popular vote by nearly three million votes.
