According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the age-old phrase “Hoisted on your own petard” dates back to William Shakespeare’s Hamlet (emphasis mine);
This oft-heard phrase owes its popularity to William Shakespeare’s Hamlet in which the titular character says, “For ’tis the sport to have the engineer hoist with his own petar[d].” (A petard is a medieval explosive. The quote implies that the engineer—the person who sets the explosive device—is blown into the air [hoisted] by the explosion of his own device.)
Today’s news coming out of the White House gives President Trump the perfect opportunity to hoist the fraudulent occupier of the Oval Office upon his own petard.
By now, everyone already knows of the North Korean navy launching an intercontinental ballistic missile from one of their antiquated but numerous (70 total) submarine fleet.
What may be unknown to many would be the response coming from the the Lefticrat occupied-White House.
As reported by three news propaganda-mongers; PBS, the BBC, and France24, all note that Team Biden has just set their own booby trap.
-
PBS: Ned Price, Spokesperson, State Department: We remain prepared to meet with the DPRK [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea] without preconditions any time, anywhere.
-
BBC: In the last 24 hours, he [US envoy to North Korea, Sung Kim] has reiterated the stance of US President Joe Biden’s administration that it is open to meeting with North Korea without pre-conditions.
-
France24: “We harbor no hostile intent toward the DPRK and we are hopeful to meeting with them without conditions,” [US envoy Sung] Kim told reporters.
In spite of all three having having minor differences in who-said-what, as well as getting the exact quote straight, what all three had in common is the understanding that Biden is ready for talks with North Korea with no strings attached.
Enter Donald Trump.
All The Donald has to do is make a public statement notifying Biden know that he’s ready to step-up and conduct peace talks with Lil’ Kim (of course, all with the proper State Department approval).
After all, wasn’t it Team Sleepy Joe that made it abundantly clear that there are no pre-conditions? Yes… yes it was.
Regardless of what the White House says, The Donald comes out smelling like a rose.
-
If they say yes to the Trump proposal, he ends up looking like the guy who’s trying to stop WW III (aka: “An International Hero“).
-
If they reject the proposal, yet another example of Biden being an insincere, impotent bumbling fool.
Like I said in the headline, this is a total win-win for the rightful winner of the 2020 presidential election.
If Pres. Trump plays his cards right, Biden will certainly be hoisted upon his own petard.
