Blinded by Trump hate, liberals were quick to jump on the bandwagon that the President had some how lost his negotiation standing with Kim Jong Un shortly after he canceled a summit where the two were going to meet.
But, timing is everything.
As BizPac Review reported, North Korea had kept one of its promises and destroyed a nuclear testing site Thursday morning. At the time it wasn’t clear if Trump’s decision to cancel the meeting happened before or immediately after the site was decimated.
As dust from the bombshell news settled, it looks as if it was the latter. But, reactionary leftists aren’t good at waiting for facts or revelations to pan out and immediately ripped into Trump for being “played” by the dictator.
"Why I gave Trump an F on his foreign policy. He is not committed to doing the hard work of serious diplomacy."
"I worked w/@WomenLegisLobby to introduce a bill pushing Congress to put checks on Trump’s nuclear first strike power. This work is more important than ever. #ma3 #mapoli"

"Kim Jong Un played Trump and won. How embarrassing. The bar is so low for Trump and he still cant slither under it."

It’s a ridiculous notion to believe Trump was in this to win a Nobel Peace Prize. A prize that’s been stripped of its meaning especially since it was given to former President Obama for doing nothing. But it’s even more ridiculous to believe that Trump was “played” by little “Rocket Man.”
While liberals were gloating over Trump’s apparent loss, another narrative was developing as reports from within North Korea started to come out.
Officials inside NoKo were reportedly “shocked” as they heard the news that summit was called off — especially as it came just AFTER the test site was destroyed.
"NK tried to leverage Trump and he pulled out instead. That’s what he’s supposed to do."

"You’ve got to think that Kim blowing up his nuclear test site and then immediately losing the summit can’t help his standing internally"

“Being inside this country just hours after they blew up a nuclear site.. it’s very awkward and uncomfortable moment right now.”

"CNN on phone from north korea now. says he was the first person to read to the north korean officials he was with trump’s letter. they had all just been together seeing a nuclear site dismantled."
"he said they were in shocked, got up, left and are all on the phone."

"With all due respect, I don’t know how Trump got played by Kim Jong Un. Trump got 3 hostages out of North Korea and got them to dismantle parts of their nuclear weapons program, including destroying one of their testing sites. And he gave them what exactly?"

"There are three Americans home today who would dispute the notion that President Trump's attempt to hold a summit with North Korea achieved "nothing.""

So, who is playing who? Ari Fleischer went on Fox Business to explain Trump’s gaining the leverage now.
And, it’s still fluid situation. Nothing is set in stone.
President Trump, after canceling the North Korea summit in a lengthy letter just a few hours ago, says just now that there’s a chance the “existing summit” could still take place.
Stay tuned.
One other thing Mr. R.
I have encountered people in my life who’s only job is to disagree to build themselves up.
Sadly, they are everywhere.
Yep. They are used to playing games with Democrats and Bushes. Let them stew for a while and come groveling.
“Obama let them have 150 BILLION dollars in CASH...”
I’ve heard that that money is long gone by now. That’s why they’re so worried about new sanctions.
Rocket Boy got TRUMPED!!
i see.
well probably the dictators stole most of the money and we can see they’ve spent a big chunk of the rest on terrorist gangsters like Hezballah...plus of course their NUKE bomb program (and the ICBM’s to drop them on USA, their socalled “Great Satan” first priority target country for destruction)
but i think probably most of the money’s long since been stolen and secreted in hidden accounts and places all around the world, like Arafat did with the part of our “aid” money he didn’t use to buy more bombs
Trust sessions. Just saying. But feel ya.
Cant you clowns cease your drunken, incoherent rants about Sessions on a thread that has nothing to do with Sessions? Stop hijacking!!
Nobody likes a whiner.
Don’t be one.

Best Election ever.
It’s not whining. You know the rules here. No thread hijacking. There are plenty of Sessions threads for you clowns to bloviate on.
How do you deal with a baby throwing a fit in a store? You pick up the kid and go home.
That is what Trump did.
How can these libs NOT see that?
no
(triple E is actually, secretly, sessions).
YOU CAN’T FOol ME JeFfeY!!$@@;;’#
Take it easy Mrs. Sessions.
Nobody likes a snitch, either.

What do you expect, the Rocket Man is used to dealing with American wimps like Clinton, Obama, Bush, Kerry etc. and of course they are shocked when they find own Trump is too smart for them and can’t be played by their old games. Even more funny is the Media is more stupid than the Koreans.
If you aren’t willing to walk away then don’t come to the table.
***********************************
This is the first rule of renegotiating.
You’re wrong. Trump not threaten to cancel, he actually did cancel.
Have you read his letter to the little fat f*ck?
In it he said the June 12 meeting is off.
Hrs later the fat f*ck responded saying he still wanted the meeting. As of now it has NOT been rescheduled. Personally I believe unless the fat f*ck agrees IN WRITING to full denuclearization within its and anytime inspections I would not agree to any further contact. Trump should ramp up the sanctions and simply want the despite jerk off out.
We hold all the cards and all he has is a big mouth.
