On Thursday in Indiana, Donald Trump held another self-love fest disguised as a political event, and like his other campaign rallies/mob gatherings, the crowd was treated to a president who is clearly off the rails.
When Trump was bragging about the recent release of three American detainees from North Korea, the unstable and rambling president could barely pronounce Kim Jong Un’s name – the man he is set to meet in Singapore on June 12.
After basically slurring through the North Korean dictator’s name during the first go, the president had to stop and slowly repeat it again, as if he was sounding it out like a third-grader.

Trump can barely navigate a teleprompter, let alone a high-stakes summit with Kim Jong Un
It’s lunacy to believe that Donald Trump will meet with Kim Jong Un next month and suddenly bring about world peace. It’s likely that even the president himself knows that.
That’s why, in recent weeks, Trump is essentially trying to cash a check before the money is in the bank. Whenever given the chance, he is bragging about his so-called progress with North Korea, even hinting that he would like to win the Nobel Peace Prize – all without having actually done anything.
In other words, the president who knows nothing about foreign affairs is taking a victory lap now because there’s a good chance he’ll have no reason to take one later.
Not to mention the fact that he could really use a distraction as Robert Mueller’s investigation and Michael Cohen’s potential money crimes hang over his presidency.
Ultimately, if the same incoherent man that rambled before an Indiana crowd on Thursday shows up in Singapore next month, the odds of a major breakthrough with North Korea are slim.
