Kim Gamel on Twitter: "Trump says joint military exercises with Korea are too expensive. 'Exercising is fun and its nice and they play those war games, and I'm not saying they're not, but it's a very, very expensive thing,' he tells reporters at #HanoiSummit"

  In the big scheme of things, joint readiness exercises with our South Korean allies are not expensive. $14 million or thereabouts. One weekend at Mar-a-Lago? $1 to $3 million.

  Perhaps we can tell baby #trump the cost of joint military exercises is actually for a big new beautiful portrait of him that he can hang in one of his clubs. Then he’ll see the value & the grownups can do their jobs. #HanoiSummit

  Yes, let's spend the money instead on a military parade down Pennsylvania Avenue.

  Rather lacking in strategic understanding - and a poor choice of words too

  I guess it's good to return to a late 40s battle readiness to save a dollar.

  It is hard to tell if this is a real quote from the President or parody. How embarrassing.

  Isn't "war games" the term Kim uses?
