What can Donald Trump offer Asia?

collected by :Tod Hinery

The US president is in Asia, where one country dominates talks: North Korea. The US president kicked off a long tour of Asia, with a clear message: "Do not underestimate America". Trump will discuss trade deals with various leaders, but tensions with North Korea will likely overtake the agenda during his 12-day trip. He will go next to South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines. His predecessor Barack Obama also spent a lot of time in the region, as part of his so-called "pivot" to Asia.

On Last Week Tonight, John Oliver asks, "Is Donald Trump smart enough to be evil?"

as mentioned in To be fair, it's not like Trump laid the groundwork for the "incompetent dingbat" defense already. That despite a clip of Trump bragging of his mental acumen, "It's called up here, and it's called memory, and it's called other things." Well said. As Oliver put it, coming from that guy, a defense amounting to, "I don't know anything about those people I should know everything about," seems almost plausible.

John Oliver Warns Against Letting Donald Trump Play Dumb In Russia Probe

The big question, Oliver said, "Did Trump know all of this and not care? And White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders scoffed that Trump has thousands of photos of himself taken with millions of people. Which gave Oliver a too-good-to-resist cheap-shot chance to show photos of Trump with OJ Simpson and with Harvey Weinstein. Because the counter-argument is that Trump is a meticulous man who makes strategic decisions, fully aware of the consequences of his actions. Still, Oliver urged America not to accept the Trump Card.
