Interesting in that they expose these individuals as partisan nincompoops.
Trump sent a clear message to both Kim and China.
Once I see "former" I know the person has an axe to grind and anything they say is inaccurate and typically self serving.
Fat boy is hoping for a better deal with the Democrats and the ChiComs
So I think he is trying to delay delay delay until Trump is out
That is what I am thinking here
Democrats take over and Fat Boy gets tons of free food, weapons, heck even uranium and all he had to do was make an empty threat. Back to the “good old days” so to speak
The good news is that if all else fails, we do have the big button and it actually works. ;)
DemonkkkRAT Talking Points, written by a demonkkkRAT party scribe and hack.
My take is that Kim overplayed his hand and Trump just did what Reagan did with Gorbachev and just pulled the plug on the Summit and left. Kim got the message now and if he trult wants to come out of the cold then he will have to put up or shut up.
Art of the Deal.
Rocket-man has never negotiated with a a real businessman. I never really expected much to come from this meeting. There were no talking points sent out to the media
Interesting comments? BS!
Hey, sanctions, sanctions, sanctions - still in place, starving the Norks. Time is on our side.
All is good.
The other option Trump had when he met resistance from a hard core adversary to a denuclearization deal was to follow the lead of a prior administration and lift sanctions while releasing 100 billion dollars to the adversary along with a billion in cash on a palette and agree that they can start building a nuclear program 10 years after the agreement was signed and after you are out of office. And then wrap it up with a nice bow and sell it with the assistance of the media misnomered as a “peace” agreement. Sometimes the best course of action is not an agreement at any cost but just to walk away until economic pressures make it a bit more unbearable for the other side. Time for Trump to pressure sanctions breaking China as part of trade negotiations that part of the deal will be China will be penalized with tariffs if they break sanctions on NK
until they correct their behavior.
I have no doubt that Mr. Gordon had another article prepared saying how unprepared Trump was and was forced to sign an agreement giving away our options on the Korean peninsula. No matter which outcome occurred, they would be saying how stupid and unprepared President Trump was for this meeting.
President Trump is damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t, and stupid no matter what.
I blame the Democrats and the MSM... but I repeat myself. The Cohen hearings are just the latest hope given to China and NK that they won’t have to deal with Trump much longer. Therefore... wait for a better deal from the politics-as-usual crowd.
In 1986, Rolling Stone claimed Reagan "flubbed" the Reykjavik summit
Some things never change.
Move to plan ? ,remove the Kim Family ,LOL
I think the optics of stepping away are good. It says to the average Joe that Trump is serious business and isn’t going to give away the farm. It’s a simple takeaway that anyone can understand, and it contrasts well with Obama bending over for Iran.
Would these fools in the commie media have been pleased had President Trump signed a deal that would have been detrimental to the United States, would that have made them all happy campers? Un only wanted to give up ONE portion of his nukes, and get ALL sanctions lifted, that is what he wanted, Trump said HELL NO..because look at what Obama did with Iran, he gave them billions of OUR tax dollars and got nothing in return. Trump would have been a total hypocrite had he basically done the same thing. Id rather him walk away from a deal that would have been HORRIBLE than sign something that would have bit him in the ass. Nothing President Trump does, NOTHING will ever satisfy these morons
Keep in mind that EVERY publication including many conservative publications blasted Reagan for “failing” at Reykjavik . . . just as Gorby was desperately trying to revive the talks, knowing he got crushed.
See my section on this in the upcoming “Reagan;The American President.” (Out May 1).

Pompeo is correct. A communist dictatorship does not permit iniative by lower ranking officials and reserves all decisions to the top level. Trump short-circuited that, forcing Kim to engage directly and stripping away the obfuscations and delays of low level discussions. The result is that Kim and his regime are exposed as unreasonable, which in turn justifies a tightening of sanctions.
No, actually, Trump’s actions were entirely appropriate and to be expected when one of the parties throws a wrench into the works. In this case, it was likely a case of the Nork generals perceiving some weakness on the president’s part due to the Cohen testimony and some trepidation that Kim might be getting a little too cozy with Trump. Trump says, “OK, we’re done” and the Norks look at one another with the “WTF, That didn’t go well” look.
With respect to the first point, the Dems pulled a Vietnam on the president.
The press of course is again trying to 'drive their agenda' negatively toward President Trump.
