And this was expected to go smoothly? Geesh, so many naive and frankly blind humans to the realities of this world.

Trumplings: carry on with that amusing un-American defense of your clown.

When Trump meets with Putin will he go down in history or will he just go down?

And guess what? The whole thing is still playing out! Do you really think we're done? Do you think we are just going to walk away from it?

Jesus..... use your head.

Sure... before the summit we were yelling "Hey, this won't work! Trump is going to legitimize the NK regime! NK will promise whatever they need to in order to get concessions from Trump! Trump is going to go in there and claim victory when nothing will be accomplished! Kim is going to play Trump like a fool!"

And now that all of that has pretty much come to fruition we are still yelling "Hey this won't work! Trump legitimized the NK regime! NK just said they aren't keeping up their end of the bargain but got concessions from Trump! Trump went in there and claimed victory and nothing was accomplished! Kim played Trump like a fool!"

And we are called crazy... It sucks to be right (in both sense of the word lol)

Trump has used the carrot up until now: maybe it's time to use a stick again.
Pity the HenHouse Contingent. They do not understand the importance of public posturing. I mean, What was Trump going to say?...... "I think Kim-Baby's a real schmuk! Don't look for squat outta these lyin' SOB's. I should have played golf instead!"

No. Trump wants to give them a chance, hold firm on the Complete, Verifiable, Irreversible Dismantlement (CVID) offer and see if North Korea can reach the goal. In the meantime, talk nice in public.

The North Koreans are finding that their standard practice of demanding immediate concessions and then delaying are not going to work.
CVID = Lifted Sanctions. It's pretty simple.

How exactly has he been successful? Have we lifted sanctions? No. Can we start joint training exercises with SK? Yes.

Trump wants his prize. He thought he had it in the bag.

Trump has no clue how to go after and collect his prize and have it in the bag. He runs blind, wild & crazy, and simply wings it through his presidency thus far. He was clueless going in, and has been learning ever since.

Trump said he would know in the first minute. And he came home and told everybody to sleep well.

From his tweets:

Just landed - a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office. There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea. Meeting with Kim Jong Un was an interesting and very positive experience. North Korea has great potential for the future!

Before taking office people were assuming that we were going to War with North Korea. President Obama said that North Korea was our biggest and most dangerous problem. No longer - sleep well tonight!
