Trump claimed he would be able to tell quickly if the North Korean leader was serious about dismantling his nuclear and missile programmes and would walk away if Kim was not.
“How long will it take to figure out if they’re serious? … Maybe in the first minute. You know, the way they say you know if you’re going to like somebody in the first five seconds, you ever hear that one? I think very quickly I’ll know whether or not something good is going to happen. And if I think it won’t happen, I’m not going to waste my time. I don’t want to waste his time.”
Asked how he would read Kim so swiftly, Trump said: “My touch, my feel, that’s what I do.”

Edward Sanders: Hölderlin's Tower
Hölderlinturm - Tübingen am Neckar | Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin (20 March 1770 – 6 June 1843) was a major German lyric poet, whose work bridges the Classical and Romantic schools. During his study at the University of Tübingen, he made friends with the future philosophers Hegel and Schelling. Hölderlin`s later lyric poetry, which today is considered as an undisputed high point in German and western literature, was up to the mid-19th century largely unpublished and unknown.

..Seit ich liebe? warum achtetet ihr mich mehr,
....Da ich stolzer und wilder,
......Wortereicher und leerer war?
Ach! der Menge gefällt, was auf den Marktplatz taugt,
..Und es ehret der Knecht nur den Gewaltsamen;
....An das Göttliche glauben
......Die allein, die es selber sind.
new more beautiful life, now that I've known love? Why did you value
me more then, when I was so full of myself
and my words were so much more numerous, and empty?
Ah, everybody rushes to approve
what sells; everybody wants to be told what to do by the powerful;
and only those who have retained inhuman qualities continue to believe in anything
but what is human.

Once by the Neckar
I stood next to Hölderlin’s Tower
there like a Greek myth
or a universal truth
and fed the swans.
I wanted to pitch a tent by the River
and practice my recitations
by the cistern of the muses.
The banker Gontard
in 1798 caught him
and his wife Susette balling
He fled Frankfurt
and began to flip
though he completed
his translations of Sophocles’
Antigone and Oedipus Rex
and nine odes of Pindar
At the same time he was trapped, uh oh,
in a dreadful cycle: “alternate depression
and nervous irritability”
Then to Tübingen the
summer of 1807
harmlessly bonk
Lived in the Tower for 36
till permaGaia June 7, 1843.
Friedrich Friedrich
stay in your Tower
The good folk of Tübingen
still mention your sadness
They point to your house
as if you were still there
even though it’s been a century more
since your lungs pulled in air
Gontard may have learned he was balling his wife
May have caught them kissing, smoky with strife
There were angry words, and the poet was fired
And life wended onward, hopeless and mired
Hölderlin, Hölderlin kiss your love in quickness
Now and then, quick meetings, as if eros were a sickness
Did they fuck? Nothing in ink has survived
It doesn’t matter much now, just sorrow contrived
More and more crazy, in loveless ups and downs
Looking for tutoring jobs in poetless towns
Till he learned Susette died from measles one summer
And all of the future was the moan of a mummer
He wended even more be-bonked, aft’ he lost his Susette
He wandered back to Tübingen with naught but regret
When a well-to-do cabinet maker named Ernst Zimmer
Who was reading his novel Hyperion, gave him a glimmer
Invited him to dwell in that tall yellow Tower
Food, solace and comradeship, for poetry’s flower
Sometimes he was out, sometimes in
Sometimes the Universe has a clownface grin
Writhing in sadness, ’spersed with gladness
For when a person truly knows, they call it madness
Look at the world
So caustic and cruel
poet v. poet, drool for a duel
It’s tempting to hide
away from such fuel
A few lines when calm enough
and the seas not so rough
Sometimes I pray
for an endless hour
living in the upper
of Hölderlin’s tower
I’d stroll from the yellow
in my snowtime scarf
with crumbs for the swans
from the Crazy Man’s wharf
