“The point is, they didn’t, and allowed the problem to fester to where it represented a nuclear danger to the world. So Trump is the one who is finally willing to take the risks to defuse it.”

Exactly, they did not. So everything else is hypothetical.

Liberals are weeping today because Trump did what no other president could do. Ha! Could these liberal crybabies be more obvious?

We will never know how many butts President Trump saved.
Winning!

But didn’t. If Trump was responsible for the curing of some cancer or sickness, these media dolts would accuse him of having doctors lose their jobs.

Then why didn’t they do it? Obama, Nobel Peace Prize winner, was too busy bowing and scraping to the Mullahs and potentetates in the Midfle East to meet with Kim

"It's not as if other presidents couldn't have done this, it's that they didn't want to” so as not to give North Korea a level of prestige without having something guaranteed in terms of denuclearization

Have we really continued this state of hostilities for 68 years because no one was willing to treat North Korea with respect and grant them a pinch of prestige? Even by the standards of politicians, that's shockingly ignorant. Truman, Ike, Kennedy, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, [and the usurper] all passed this up because of pride, and the Left complains about President Trump's ego? If President Trump ends the Korean conflict completely, the elitists still won't give him credit . . . but the voters will.

That is simply a stupid statement and shows how polluted their minds are. It WAS diplomatic genius that no other could have done. It rivals Reagan-Gorbachev Summit.

Tapper wanted Kim to send Trump home with a couple of nuclear reactors and a basketball.

the concern from liberals today is that they don't want North Korea to give Donald Trump that kind of prestige.
This.
