WASHINGTON, March 5 (Yonhap) -- U.S. President Donald Trump has not had a phone call with the North Korean regime, a White House official said Monday, commenting on his remarks that suggested such a possibility.

Trump said Saturday while talking about North Korea that "they, by the way, called up a couple of days ago."

"'We would like to talk.' And I said, 'So would we, but you have to de-nuke, you have to de-nuke,'" the president said.

The official on the National Security Council told Yonhap Trump was referring to his March 1 phone call with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. During the call, Moon briefed Trump on recent developments related to North Korea, and both leaders "noted their firm position that any dialogue with North Korea must be conducted with the explicit and unwavering goal of complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization," he said. "President Trump did not have a call with the North Koreans," he added.

or putting the right shoe on first, or wiping with the left hand,, they have acted like that for decades and they don;t even know they do it.
They are asleep.

Even Jesus said "SLEEPERS AWAKE!"
"Rouse yourself! Rouse yourself! Arise,'
""Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead"
"Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep."


I think he was serious.
