Trump has been brilliant on foreign policy. This North Korea development goes back to Trump's first week in office when he met China's Xi Jinping at Mar-y-Lago. North Korea does nothing unless China tells them to. What Trump has pulled off is pure foreign policy brilliance. North Korea is willing to stop all missile testing and voluntarily denuclearize. The reason is two-fold. 1) Sanctions. Trump was able to convince the UN to put REAL sanctions on North Korea, ones that closed the loopholes that have kept them afloat through other sanctions and he convinced both China and Russia not to veto them. There are reports that the new sanctions have crippled North Korea to the point that they will have no more cash reserves by October. 2) Trade War. Now factor in the tariffs threatening to hurt China, the renegotiation of NAFTA which is about closing the backdoor used by the Chinese, and China has kicked North Korea in the butt, telling them to make peace with Trump. Brilliant.

Chuck Todd is insufferable. He's the Glenn Beck of NBC. He's to be ignored like the Democrat that he obviously is.
I wanted to watch that whole show last Sunday but I could not make it past the interview with Steve Mnuchin who I don't like but I thought acquitted himself well.

He is nowhere near the level of partisan that is Glenn Beck but he is an insufferable twerp who would be better working for the National Enquirer (except they like Trump).

Srsly. While he was making his announcement - Tillerson had said just the opposite the day before.

What a freak show. IF Trump meets with Kim - I hope there are smarter people in the room with him.

You thought Mnuchin acquitted himself well? I didn't.

I do get that it totally sucks to get out there on Sunday morning and try to spin Trump's vulgarity and incoherence but . . gotta do better than that.

watch this clip from ABC 'This Week' with Ben Rhodes, failed ex screen play writer from the Obama admin.





The host asks him about North Korea. Rhodes starts out on a measured, high-road tone, and proceeds to reel off a series of puerile digs against Trump ('this is not a real estate deal or a reality show,' 'you [Trump] need[s] to value science, another thing this administration has not valued').


It's the kind of stuff you would expect from a lefty CD poster--puerile partisan jabs.

Rhodes starts at about 043.

Here, this will help all you folks. Scott Adams has been one of the shrewdest observers of Trump out there. Take a look at his blogs on Trump and North Korea...the man is prescient.

And seriously...at least skim some of Trump's books
Is firing your top diplomat and having your top North Korean envoy resign shortly before agreeing to a meeting in a manner that totally blindsides your South Korean allies all part of the grand negotiation process? Man, this like 5-D, or even 6-D chess.
