Sen. Schumer rips President Trump over summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un
NY Daily News ^ | 06/12/2018 | DENIS SLATTERY

Sen. Chuck Schumer dismissed President Trump’s sitdown with North Korea's Kim Jong Un as nothing more than “a reality show summit.”

Schumer, speaking on the Senate floor Tuesday, said Trump has already given up American leverage on North Korea.

Schumer said if Pyongyang doesn't give up its nuclear weapons, the "meeting alone will be a victory for North Korea and a defeat for the U.S."

Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) said he was similarly surprised on Tuesday, telling reporters he is “very troubled” by the stalling of military exercises in the region.

“I was surprised, frankly, because the President had said earlier that that was not necessarily going to be part of the first meeting,” Perdue, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee said. “The coordination with South Korean military is absolutely critical.”

The video is a bit Hokie until you realize that it’s intended for the the North and South Korean people to watch.

Sometimes things start with an idea. Once people have a taste of the good life and freedom, there is no going backwards.

This suprises me about Iran as you’d think there are people there who remember the good life...

But you then realize they are gone.

It will take considerable guts for Kim to pull this out. He’s purged his military and others, maybe he will. Hard to say.

You look around him, and it’s clear why he pursued nuclear weapons, he really had no choice... or maybe even giving the impression that he had them.

He was getting close very close.

The Democrats, in their red hot hatred for Trump, are exposing just how Anti-American they truly are (and have been, especially the last 8 years, but even prior to that). Let’s hope they pay the price, one way or another, for backstabbing their fellow Americans and the country.

I think there's a bunch of politicians and lobbyist who see money disappearing from the defense contracts that won't be needed anymore. I wish they would stop pretending to care about the American people.

Like we can’t start up war games anytime we damn well please. A few months ago Trump was deriding Kim as “little rocket man”.

I know, it’s not like they can’t start them up again if needed. Unless I’m missing something.

“Then Chuckie will have to vote in favor of it and he’ll look like a fool.”

Or even better, Chuckie will lead the Senate Dems to vote against peace and prove themselves the traitors that they really are ...

“This has the potential to place Trump among the greatest of presidents (which is astonishing even to me).”

Not me. I fully expected Trump to be one of our greatest presidents ever, even exceeding the great Ronald Reagan ...

“All the respect and praise Trump bestowed on Kim was just a negotiating tatic. He knows Kim has to save face at home.”

it’s actually much more than that: Trump is going all out to deliberately assuage Kim’s massive ego, a very, very effective technique, which costs essentially nothing, and has everything to gain ...

(ironically, the rest of the world has tried that very same technique with Trump in various trade negotiations, and have been really pissed off that it hasn’t worked.)

The DC establishment pukes, Democrat and Rinos, would bash Trump even if we all witnessed Trump meeting and talking to our Lord Jesus. People are getting sick of the bashers and karma is bound to set in one of these days

"...karma is bound to set in one of these days..."

It's happening all across the country. More and more voters are waking up, every day, to the way they've been lied to and manipulated by the venal Fake Newstards. This is glorious to watch.
