Trump and Kim

[Woody1405]

After Trump once again elevated the world's most brutal dictator and got nothing in return our POTUS has reached a new low. He stated that he was "honored" to be with Kim. He said he "liked Kim, why shouldn't he". He said he believed Kim had nothing to do with Otto's death and did not know about his mistreatment until after the fact. He did not ask the obvious question which is, "if you did not know about it, what have you done to learn the details of his mistreatment and death?' After all, he rules his impoverished nation with an iron fist and through an inquisition he could find out what happened and bring the perpetrators to justice. But he hasn't. Unfortunately we have now reached the unbelievable point in which the POTUS provides one explanation of how the summit broke down, and Kim gives another, and the smart money bets on Kim's version which the POTUS hasn't disputed.
What is it going to take for his base to realize he is an incompetent, dishonest fraud?

I think that most of the board knows how I feel about Trump in general. HOWEVER, in this case, I actually don't have a problem meeting with NK ( and unlike FoxNews... who practically gave Trump a Nobel Prize for agreeing to the 1st summit) I thought it was OK when Obama was considering it too. As Winston Churchill said many years ago... talk, talk, talk is better than war, war, war.

Your point about the actual negotiations is well taken by me at least. Trump seems to have a habit of really liking dictators and crapping all over our NATO allies (in Public at least). It's tough to see how this is a good look for the US on the world stage. When you take these two summits, it's also tough to see how NK hasn't elevated itself in the eyes of the world and how Trump hasn't done a lot for US interests here except tell his base that NK is no longer a Nuclear threat. Now he's back home after storming out of the summit like a little bitch and whining about how it is the Dem's fault that there's no deal.

THIS is the self appointed best deal maker on the planet? I'm just not seeing it.

Again, no problem with the meeting itself, just not seeing the results. From this end it looks like Trump is getting played.
