People like Schumer have no understanding of negotiations. They helped Obama sell out America in the Iran deal, getting nothing in exchange for billions. Trump is dealing with an extremely egotistical leader in the Little Rocket Man. Trump got NK’s attention by talking tough and making them realize the consequences of proceeding down the path of nuclear proliferation. By treating the NK leader as an equal on the world stage and making a couple of easily reversible concessions, he has Kim thinking that he may just be able to survive and keep his life of luxury if NK does disarm and allow open investment with the US and South Korea. Bush and Obama gave dictators no option but to stay and fight. Syria’s Assad saw what happened to Saddam Hussein and Mohamar Khadafy, and wisely chose to fight (otherwise his body would have been dragged out of a hole in the ground). Kim has seen the examples in the mid-east and he’s not going to make any concessions unless he thinks he has a chance to stay alive and wealthy. Trump should have offered to buy him a Villa in Southern France a la Baby Doc Duvalier.
All the respect and praise Trump bestowed on Kim was just a negotiating tatic. He knows Kim has to save face at home.
These liberals know that.
