(262 posts)This summit, during the talks to solve the shutdown, on his European trips - might have worked as a frightening tactic when he used to bully people in business, but it's plain to see, the man has no stamina or negotiating skills. A real leader would have kept talking, even if he had to stay a little longer. He's too used to people falling at his feet and giving him what he wants, unchallenged.

(3,115 posts)He still needs to prove what a magnificent dealmaker he is. Bot he's not. He's two-bit conjob. He went into this summit completely ignorant, relying on his "gut," I'm sure.
He just wasted millions of taxpayer dollars and gave world prominence to a murderous dictactor -- again. Well played, Dumpster.

(4,723 posts)All he did was to cause further erosion to this country's standing in the world. And I am sure he expects a nobel prize for this farce. His pals running the Senate will just melt in their praise of the idiot, instead of condemning him, as always. Maybe Sue Collins can almost drop her handbag and Lindsey Graham can put on a one act play for the cameras about what a super stud his precious Dear Leader is.

(13,776 posts)Im the last person to ever defend him, but if hed made a deal, it would have been empty promises from Kim. Im glad he didnt believe Kims BS flattery and fall for anything his BFF promised. To me, it seems that walking away is literally the first smart thing hes ever done.

(34,136 posts)Trump Furious After Nobel Committee Gives Him Participation Trophy
By Andy Borowitz
May 24, 2018
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Donald J. Trump was reportedly furious after the Nobel committee informed him on Thursday that he would not receive a Nobel Peace Prize but would get a participation trophy instead.
In Oslo, a Nobel spokesman said that Trump would have the distinction of becoming the first world leader to receive such a trophy, also known as the Nobel Consolation Prize.
The spokesman displayed the prize, a gold-painted plastic trophy measuring eleven inches in height and featuring a small man at its pinnacle, holding a tiny laurel wreath over his head.
Announcing the award, the Nobel representative said, Although Donald Trump did not actually achieve peace, he did talk a lot about it, and that should be worth something.

(5,810 posts)He is way out of his element but he thinks he can bluff his way through because of his superior intellect. He truly thinks and believes this will work and that the rest of us will be fooled by his skills as a leader. Unfortunately for him, only his base will fall for this nonsense. The rest of us have known all along he is not equipped in any way to lead anything. His string of failures in business were evidence that the only art of the deal he has is his ability to bamboozle a small subset of the population of his greatness. Without the tweak to the election by Russians and others, wed have had a different outcome.
So we find ourselves being led by the most ill equipped so-called Leader in our nations history. Now Congress must do the right thing and rid the country of this buffoon. The Republican Party owns this nightmare and all of the aftermath of his election. They need to repent, take their lumps and join with the Democrats and Independents to stop the madness. Impeach the treasonous bastard NOW.

(27,995 posts)And, I kid you not, the chyron across the bottom reads "Alabama Cop: Two charged in fight over crab legs". It happened at a buffet in Huntsville. A police officer happened to be eating there and saw a couple using serving tongs as swords. Plates were shattering. The cop said the couple admitted their tempers got the best of them after having waited in line for 10 minutes.
There you have it. Now I'm changing the channel.

(2,008 posts)I read something from their website.
The spin is that he showed NK (and China, Pakistan et al.) that he's tough and will walk away rather than take a bad deal.
They acknowledge that he didn't achieve the stretch goal (my words, not theirs) of a denuclearization deal, but insist that demonstrating this toughness is a big accomplishment.
