Some dealmaker this clown has turned out to be.

1. Trump demands full denuclearization of NK.

2. Kim Jong Un demands full denuclearization of SK and US withdrawing all troops from SK and Japan.

3. Trump desperately needs a win and agrees.

4. Trump praises himself for negotiating peace while the DOD desperately scrambles to undo the troop-withdrawal.

5. A few days later the DOD announces that the troop-withdrawal will take a very long time. Very, very long...

6. We are back to square one. Nothing changes in Korea and Trump got his "victory" by giving a dictator everything he wants.

The annual South Korean defense budget (about 43 billion now) is more than a third larger than the annual GDP of North Korea (which spends about a third of GDP on defense compared to less than three percent in South Korea).

conversation away from impeachment?

"Well?" "Did you quit building nukes like I told you too?"

N. Korean leader.."Ah so.."

Stumpy.."This goes down as another of my great accomplishments!!"...

in stature.

So that's two fuck ups IQ45 has made re: North Korea. He gave Kim Yung Un equal status to the U.S. by meeting with him in Singapore (and then making all sorts of concessions without getting anything in return). Now he plans on meeting with one of Kim's underlings when the only person a real president meets is the leader (president, prime minister, etc.) of a country. Everything else is handled by worker bees.

Also, for a self-annointed "Great Negotiator" Trump has yet to grasp the most fundamental concept of negotiating -- you only negotiate with the person who has the authority to say "yes." Everything else is a waste of time, as is evident in our own government when Trump changes him mind when presented with a bill the Repugs have worked out with the Dems based on Trump's bluster, "Put a bill about ________ on my desk and I'll sign it."

Of course, a real negotiator would know that.

Oh let's talk about another peace-nik with dictators meeting, surefire way to distract.
