Trump deserves a Nobel Prize if this leads to North Korea giving up their nukes.

But that’s only if there’s justice in the world.

Trump is being played by Kim just like the others were. Maybe worse because he is actually going to go meet with the bum before Kim does anything about denuclearization - something Trump said he would never do. So already Trump is backpedaling. Kim's got his nukes and the security from the west he desires and is now moving to an international stage. Trump is being punked.

Putin is playing you guys. He set this up to give Trump a bit of a boost during these troubling times.

NK is not going to give up their nukes.

Get real.

More sour grapes hope for America's failure from the Left.

In 2003, Gadhafi agreed to give up his weapons program and welcome international inspectors.

The benefits of doing so were to include security, trade and investment, diplomatic recognition and international respectability.

We all know how that turned out.

I doubt that lesson has been lost on Kim Jong-un.

President Trump To Meet With Kim Jong Un, White House Says
Here's hoping he takes Dennis Rodman along with.

North Korea has made these promises before. Trump meeting with NK is idiocy in the extreme. No POTUS has met with a leader of NK because it gives legitimacy to a brutal dictatorship. It tells Kim Jong Un that he matters, that he is on par with other world leaders. Kim Jong Un is a maniac; anyone who thinks that Trump--of all people--is going to "solve" this problem is living in a reality of their own making.

On a related note re yesterday's news: Never before have I seen foreign leaders emerge from the White House, as the South Korean National Security guy and his minions did yesterday, deliver news about his government, to the American people, and then walk back into the White House. Trump was nowhere to be seen. It was beyond bizarre and not a little unsettling. If Obama had allowed this, the right-wingers would be up in arms, screeching about Obama handing our White House over to foreigners. Yet, oddly, not a peep.

Trump needs to go. He is nearly as insane as Kim Jong Un. He is a man with no understanding of how government works, plagued by decades of corrupt money laundering--and cheating people out of their pay--and skirt-chasing, who is barely even literate, who spends his early morning hours tweeting god-knows-what to his salivating, practically unconscious base, and most of his time golfing, who decides on the spur of the moment to put drilling in ANWR into a bill because a friend mentioned it to him (hey, good idea, put that in there, too!). It is beyond surreal that this know-nothing, loud-mouth lunatic is sitting in our White House. No matter what the man says or does, no matter how utterly off-the-rails he is, his base utters not one word of criticism. Not a patriot among them.

An analysis said last night that Intel reports have shown that North Korea is on the verge of total bankruptcy. Their economy is crashing. The severe sanctions that Trump has put on them, especially making China's bank cooperate has brought Kim to his knees. And that's why he asked for a meeting with Trump ASAP
We shall see...
