Then he's in good company, because Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, LBJ, JFK, Eisencoward, Truwoman, FDR, Coolidge, Harding and Wilson all did the same.

We got the "The Chosen One" trying to pressure Japan into nominating him for a Nobel Prize. Hmmmm, none of that sounds useful at all, to the USA anyway. Meanwhile, North Korea has advanced their missile and warhead programs, and Trump has ended joint military exercises with South Korea, in order to please Kim Jong Un. Tired of all this winning.
I would agree and Trump's particular brand of "rhetoric" is irritating.

However, is it any worse than Jimmy Carter making a special trip there and receiving hugs, toasts, and a pack of lies?

Is it any worse than Bill Clinton sending Madeline Albright, who was feted by the goon in charge and received the same pack of lies?

George W Bush and Barack Obama both tried to deal with them and got squat.


Hopefully we have ascended the learning curve on this one.

Well, this may be true, but then you have Trump running around saying how it's unfair if he doesn't receive a Nobel
Peace Prize due to all of his successful peace talks with North Korea, when basically it was all meaningless.
He is just annoyed that Obama got one and that he (trump) didn't...couldn't.
