Can I answer? We can criticize when we see nothing getting done on this front. The American people are the boss, not Trump, so we get to criticize aplenty.

Because they are. Despite what Trump says.

Trump is a proven serial liar. You yourself have said that he lost your support when he lied and declared he would never cave on the shutdown and then did exactly that the very next day. He lied to you, and you acknowledged that he lied to you.

The fact that you would still "trust his word" after admitting he's a liar tells us you are still on the Trump bandwagon. You're just embarrassed by that now, and are trying to pretend otherwise. You might as well just put your MAGA hat back on. You're not fooling anyone with posts like this.

Trump doesn't even read his own intelligence briefings. Despite what Trump supporters think, understandingintelligence is not like osmosis. You don't just absorb it from sitting there like a bump on a log, lol. He doesn't know anything about intelligence. His word means bupkus.

Apparently, according to the OP's link, something HAS come from it;

In the meantime, Cavanaugh said Kim’s stature on the world stage is growing. Once an isolated hermit dictator who rarely left his country, he is now being welcomed by foreign leaders and praised publicly by the president of the United States for perfunctory steps toward scaling back an illegal nuclear weapons program and goodwill gestures like returning remains of U.S. soldiers lost in the Korean War.

“It’s clear... Kim has emerged the winner out of both of these engagements He’s just looked at differently,” Cavanaugh said.

So these "negotiations" have elevated "rocket man" on the world stage.


The blotus even entertained the notion that he could schmooze the little dictator w/talk of "love letters."

"And we would go back and forth. And then we fell in love. No really. He wrote me beautiful letters."

He thinks he's still starring in a "reality" teevee show.

What a maroon.

Several media outlets have reported that the joint yearly US and South Korean military maneuvers have been permanently ended. That's a significant concession without anything in return. The exercises were important in order to coordinate our battle plans with S Korea in case of an aggressive move from the North.

There is nothing to prepare for nor is there anything we can do. A total waste of the wealth of future generations.

New photos just out show that North Korea is in the process of rebuilding the long range missile site that they partially dismantled last summer. Trump not only failed to achieve any reduction in threat level but his elevating of Kim to an international stage and halting readiness exercises will weaken our country and hurt US interests in SE Asia.

Why did you use that headline and then post something that doesn't mention any experts? Why don't you try again and tell us who these "experts" are and how they know what Trump did to prepare?
