Conservatives really need to get a grip about Trump's meeting with Kim. When Obama said in 2008 he would meet with Castro AND Sung Jong Il without preconditions, the Right crucified him. As for Trump's 51 minute 'summit' with Kim, what exactly did he accomplish?? What timelines were established? What verification benchmarks were agreed upon?? Kim promised Trump he might do some things in the future.lol So Trump decided to invite him to the WH. Admit this was a photo op for Donald and move on. I'll give Trump credit for his willingness to meet with Kim, but that's all he accomplished. He didn't end hostilities between North and South Korea. He didn't make the world safer.
I posted here how surprised I was when Trump signed an executive order to increase funding for HCBU's, now it seems as though he may walk that back https://www.usnews.com/news/educati...bcus-despite-signaling-potential-funding-cuts. So im taking a wait and see approach to the N. Korea talks, I agree he should get credit for meeting and trying to establish diplomacy to avoid nuclear war. We will have to wait and see what if anything comes out of it. I agree 100% that the right wing/media and even Hillary, ripped Obama to shreds when he said he would meet with Castro and others, thats politics for you....
He didn't make the world safer? Just stop it already. Your bigotry is showing horrendously. What the hell is your agenda, AB?? You can't give the POTUS credit? You'd be squealing and fainting if it was Obama! FGS, l'd be praising the heck out of Obama if he pulled this off. You sound sickly jealous.
Bliss, dont take a victory lap just yet, as I said above I give credit to Trump for meeting and establishing a basis for diplomacy (along with the help of Dennis Rodman, I cant believe I have to give Rodman credit, but he earned it, lol), but we are dealing with a notoriously fickle leader in Kim, and nothing other than a promise to de-escalate and to talk more has been established so far, nothing official. Lets wait and see how this shakes out long term.
Not taking a victory lap at all..just acknowledging the extraordinary peace-talk advancements (which has become harder to pry from liberals and the phoney MSM, as the donation check from Ida Mae Brown) World peace was once at the utmost forefront for the liberals even over gay rights - suddenly, they are finding every excuse to refute this magnanimous outreach by Trump and his magnificent achievement. There is no way in hell Kim is going back on his word, because he'd be signing his death warrant. The United States give you two choices: You either take your money and live a comfortable life in your own country or take your money and go to live a comfortable life in another country, or/ we pry you out of a hole like we did Saddam/remove your corpse like we did Osama and Gadaffi. It was a matter of time before he was executed by his enemies after playing war-games and since Kim likes his faux power and money and comfort, he took the best deal.
It's coming, don't worry. Hilda could never have pulled this off, even for a photo-op. Her place is in "Hollywood" posing with her donors. Her place is in Haiti so she can hoodwink their leader to steal their millions in donation funds. Photo-op https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entr...in-haiti-haitians_us_57f604f9e4b087a29a5486fd Furthermore, this 3X LOSER had the audacity to tell Obama don't negotiate with Russia, but she eagerly took the photo-op for her famous "RESET BUTTON" "...Clinton wrote a confidential memo to the White House on how to handle Vladimir Putin, the aggressive and newly reinstalled Russian president. Her bluntly worded advice: Snub him. “Don’t appear too eager to work together,” Clinton urged President Obama, according to her recollection of the note in her 2014 memoir. “Don’t flatter Putin with high-level attention. Decline his invitation for a presidential summit.”...' Now look at her, cozying up to Russia. And you wonder why in a survey, only 9% believe in Hillary. Keep in mind, 11% believe in Bigfoot. https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...3a007c77bb4_story.html?utm_term=.95e42d2b91dd

So far it appears that we got absolutely nothing worthwhile, just the same empty promises that NK has been making for decades. I'm waiting to see if there is anything of substance there but knowing Trump the way I do there probably isn't. So far the only thing he's really done is jeopardize our relationships with our longtime allies and cozy up to the dictators that he admires so much. "Stable genius," indeed.
Agreed! You gotta love how he's gone from "Rocket Man" to "Smart", "loves his country", "wants to do great things", "I like him". All of that out of one short meeting. Can't make this stuff up.
Hillary never told Obama not to negotiate with Russia.smh Her comments referred to strategy in dealing with Putin. One thing HRC and Obama understood is they don't share common interests or objectives globally with the Kremlin. Russia is typically allied with our enemies and provides them military and logistical support. As Trump becomes more isolationist, you're going to see greater Chinese and Russian influence throughout the world.
What the hell is he supposed to say to him? Do you want peace to occur or do you want continued insults and nuclear threats? FGS!
What deal did Kim take??? That's why people aren't giving this 'summit' much credit, because noting definitive was accomplished. They both signed an agreement with no guarantees and little specifics. It would take and Iran type nuclear deal to end North Korea's nuclear program and that's not happening. Then Trump had the audacity to tweet today that North Korea was no longer a nuclear threat. WTF??? That's right up there with Dubya saying, "Mission accomplished," when Saddam was overthrown. You don't hold Kim accountable with vague generalities on a piece of paper. China is still his benefactor and Trump is not prepared to go to war against NK. Kim still has a 60 warhead nuclear arsenal and for that reason alone U.S. options against NK are limited. So yeah, until further notice, it was a photo op.
People want Trump to act like a POTUS and not a gameshow host. Did you see anyone from the Obama administration praise the ayatollahs after the Iran nuclear deal was ratified?? Trump is too quick to get on his knees once he thinks he's accomplished something he wants. Notice that Kim didn't say one flattering word towards Trump after their summit, because that's now world leaders talk to each other.
Iran type deal? Iran who told Obama we will do what the hell we want, right after?. And Obama's response was to secretly lift their sanctions and give them billions in cash?? https://www.denverpost.com/2018/06/...ssible-iranian-access-to-us-financial-system/ "...WASHINGTON – The Obama administration went out of its way in early 2016 to help Iran recoup previously sanctioned oil revenue stranded in an overseas account after the nuclear deal went into effect and actively misled Congress regarding those efforts, according to the results of a nearly two-year Republican investigation released early Wednesday..."
