This Is CNN? Smerconish Changes Mind on Video Trump Gave to Kim Jong-un
Newsbusters ^ | June 19, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

Remember how many members of the mainstream media derided the video that President Donald Trump gave to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un? They wrote it off as something like a mere elevator pitch video for selling timeshares. Well, that was the first impression of CNN host Michael Smerconish...until he watched it a second time and came to realize that it could be a very effective video.

On Saturday he interviewed a former U.S. diplomat and psychiatrist who agreed that it was indeed a very effective video.

Of course it was effective, far better than most of the videos the Lettie celebutards performed in to establish their honafides as experts in climate, firearms, economics, etc.

I just got done reading the article and listening to the shrink, don't they get:

* Aspirational commercials ( aka a Lincoln or Jaguar commercial ). This was one.
* Conceptual Sales, this was also conceptual sale.
* The agreement was a gentleman's agreement, a framework, a memorandum of understanding, let the lawyers work it out later, lets get to work.

That last one, I worked on a high profile contract in the early 90's bababa billions at stake, and the two top bananas drafted the agreement on paper, signed it and shook hands as to what the promises that were made and too be kept. I was brilliant it cut through the bullfeathers, just like this did, no wonder the state dept has their panties in a wad, they can be laid off now, they were needed and tons of trees were saved as no boiler plate was printed

Good G-d Almighty I can figure this out as a Deplorable in flyover country and they can't with all their friggen degrees?

Squeemish/Smerconish has been in and out of the public view at various levels of “visibility” since at least 9-11 when he seemed to come out of nowhere and hitched his l’il wagon to the most superficial aspects of what happened then. Was never impressed by him or his judgment.And I by the way thought the video was perfect in every way, and was hoping from the beginning Trump would come up with something like that, because even if he were to have conveyed the same thing sitting across the table from Kim, utilizing a translator, it wouldn’t have had nearly the same effect.

I dont have a clue who squeemish is at CNN....

Smerconish is a one time establishment Republican stooge who finally admitted what he is and openly voted for Obama.

That is the final embarassment. DJT has raised the growth to 4.0% or within striking distance, lowered unemployment to ~3.8% and reduced the nonworking by a huge number, lowered the effective income tax and has a meeting with N Korea preceded by the detonation of one of their nuke research facilities...don’t hear much about that...

A year and a half...with a special counsel destroying anyone associated with him possible, and the media spinning every story to the point in incredulity.

What will happen in the second half? World peace, end to hunger, and a chicken in every pot?

That video also wasn't something that was thrown together at the last minute; the production value was too good.

I bet production began before Trump "canceled" the summit and didn't stop in the interim.
