He will say he brought peace to Korea, that the 70 year old war is finally over and he did it.

N Korea will no give up the nukes but Trump will say it doesn't matter, or they will at a later date. And Trump will promise them enough money that they will go along with the ruse.

Win win. The media can say what it wants but he will just say they are lying.

Who know what, if anything, will get through to his base.

And I agree. Fuck his base. they do not deserve anything. Certainly not civility. Walk away is the best answer.

Anyway, no amount of truth has put a dent in their obnoxious stubbornness to see Trump as he actually is, and I doubt it ever will. They are totally invested in Trump, his racism, xenophobia and hate. It's a cult, and you can never persuade cult members that their messiah is a total sham.

Welcome to Democratic Underground, Manastash! This is a great place to learn the truth about power, and to add your two cents to the conversation whenever the mood strikes you.

I'm out of patience with these asshole "journalists" who promoted a fraud on the American people by ignoring most Trump's massively illegal, unethical behaviors while harping on Hillary's email server.

Now they're all distraught that Trump is being Trump.

Anyone behind a table
Is using that table as a
Barrier
Protection
From things unwanted
Not words, cause he can’t string them together coherently
He’s scared
And it shows up

The most physically fit president ever, according to him. And yet he can't stand for any length of time.

......Röttgen, the Bundestag's foreign affairs committee chairman, said they have learned to anticipate his outbursts and U-turns, and should respond to them accordingly. He criticized Merkel’s team for releasing the much-discussed photo.

[The G-7, summed up in one photo]

“By portraying him as the naughty boy in the room, he will stick even more to his behavior and it will get worse,” said Röttgen, who is a member of Merkel’s center-right Christian Democratic Union. “We have to ignore his behavior and concentrate on what is left of the substance of the transatlantic relationship.”

Just how much is left is a matter of debate. Bolton, Trump’s national security adviser, wrote in his tweet of the photo that it was “Just another #G7 where other countries expect America will always be their bank. The President made it clear today. No more.”

Others used the image to mock Trump: “Just tell us what Vladimir has on you,” European Parliament member Guy Verhofstadt imagined Merkel saying. “Maybe we can help.” .............................

I never knew I could loathe a person as much as I do this man. He is literally killing people with his bigoted ignorance and hair-trigger temper.
