    The realistic conclusion to that would be Trump spilling Top Secret info to North Korea. If not willingly, then via torture. But let’s be honest: It would probably be willingly.

      Honestly, I don’t think he has the awareness or attention span to be an accurate mole if he’s limited to working from memory.

      This actually highlights one of the problems (as a strategy, ignoring humanitarian concerns) with torture- whether or not someone will break has nothing to do with whether they have real, useful information. Once they break, they will say whatever they think their captors want to hear.

      The primary (strategic) alternative is to befriend them; convince them you’re on their side. A tactic that has been shown to be extremely effective on Trump. He’ll gladly spill whatever he thinks he knows as soon as they say something nice about him.

      Good point. We should maybe abduct both of them, and turn it into a reality tv show. Like The Truman Show. but real.

        Nope, he would absolutely thrive on something like that; anything less than consignment to the dustbin of obscurity is too good for him.
