No matter what happened in Hanoi, Vietnam, during POTUS Donald Trump’s second summit with North Korea leader Kim Jong-un, he was going to be crucified by Democrats and their allies in the establishment media.
Before he left for the summit, Dems and their media allies were claiming that because of the alleged political fallout over the conspicuously-timed Michael Cohen hearings in the House, the president would essentially ‘give away the store’ — sell out our country for a deal, any deal, just to get the ‘Cohen mess’ off the front pages.
But now that the president has exited the summit without signing any deals at all, proclaiming that the time just isn’t right yet and that Kim was asking too much (a complete end to all U.S. sanctions in exchange for partial denuclearization), he’s a boob, an oaf, and an amateur who has no ‘art of the deal’ and is in over his head.
“It was about the sanctions,” POTUS told reporters as he prepared to leave Vietnam (after, by the way, signing $20 billion worth of deals with Vietnamese President Nguyen Phu Trong for Vietnamese airlines to buy Boeing jets). “Basically, they wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety, and we couldn’t do that. They were willing to denuke a large portion of the areas that we wanted, but we couldn’t give up all of the sanctions for that.
“I’d much rather do it right than do it fast,” the president added, echoing his remarks from earlier in the day when he insisted that “speed” was not his focus. “We’re in a position to do something very special.”
That very reasoned and measured response only elicited hoots and howls from the Left-wing establishment commentariat. But real North Korean experts believe the president handled himself — and the entire...

Trump’s best ZINGER of the whole trip was telling Richard Blumenthal that he (Trump) had spent more time in Viet Nam than Blumie ever did.
Blumenthal was unmasked for lying about his ‘Viet Nam Veteran experiences.
I heard Juan Williams complaining about Trump saying ‘I take him at his word’, referring to Kim Jong Un saying that he wasn’t aware of the injuries of Otto Warmbier. I wanted someone to ask Juan ‘WHAT DID YOU WANT HIM TO SAY??’.
Trump played this ‘summit’ perfectly. Un cannot manipulate him and Un knows it.
Remember last night NBC Douche bag News had some rumor that President Trump was going to lift ALL sanctions for just a small fraction of denuclearization, the commie media went nuts saying “Oh this proves that Trump has failed” but then when we find out NO deal was made because it would have been disastrous for the US, and that NK would still have nukes, that Trump walked away, the same commie media says “Trump failed, no deal was made” unfortunately we are dealing with a Communist media who hates the fact that Donald Trump is BREATHING, no matter what he says or what he does he will be trashed for it..they will only be happy if he ever uttered the words I resign, than they will be jumping for joy, otherwise they will always hate his guts
DJT is smarter and more cunning than the whole Democrat Party combined. JMHO.
With Otto, NO ONE will EVER know what happened to him and who hurt him. Did Kim order it himself, who knows, he could have, he might not have..there are many detention camps in North Korea, who knows what those slime balls might have done to him, unfortunately we will NEVER find out. Three other hostages in NK came home in good condition, why not Otto, we will never know..so what President Trump said was the right thing. When Obama gave BILLIONS of OUR money to Iran, a country who took American hostages, has called for the death of America and Israel, supplies Hamas and Hezbollah with weapons to kill Jews, I didnt hear the same people complain about how Obama was bowing down to a Dictator regime, I didnt hear a peep
Yup. The Democrats are nothing but total hypocrites.
I don't buy that Kim is this brutal dictator. Remember, he was raised and educated in Switzerland.
Don’t get drunk on Trumptweet Juice. Kim did not fall far from the family tree. Like dear old dad and dear old granddad, he is the kind of Sun King slavemaster who gives slavemasters a bad name. The fact that he was educated in Switzerland and has seen the world outside of his little slave society just makes him worse.
Asians think Trump is a brilliant strategist and respect him greatly for it.
He played Un just right and I’m sure he was gracious about it and not condescending at all.
Kim Un is the ‘puppit’ Trump knows the Nuclear hardliners control, which is why we keep seeing Trump warm up to Kim.....He’s playing Kim against them when possible because Kim wants his country to modernize and get out of this loop the hardliners continue to lay out there every time.
If you watch the video where the reporter mentions a “liason office” Trump jumped on it and said he liked the idea and wanted to hear what they would say about it...(Trump set up as Kim could respond or not on the spot), just as Kim began hardliner “Ri” quickly spoke up only to realize he had just revealed who carries the real weight in NKorea and as quick ‘allowed’ Kim to speak his mind.
N.Korea is all about smoke and mirrors....this was a breathtaking look at Trump bringing this guy “Ri” out from under the skirt of Kim and ‘expose’ him....it was a beautiful thing to watch Trump operate..he knew exactly what he was doing.
They hate is guts so he’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t
NOTHING he does will be good enough for those who hate him so much.
I buy it. He is surrounded by people that are devoted to him. He's had people killed. Family members. Ex-wife. If you are a general and you fall asleep during one of his windbag speeches, a shot to the head.
As opposed to doing shots on the MSM whiskey?
Kim was a puppet. Him even meeting with Trump was supposed to shatter all the propaganda that North Koreans grew up with.
see post 11
Trump made history with this meeting.
NO ONE else ever sat down with that guy before.
The Chicoms will now be having MORE talks with Kim. The choke-chain will probably be getting a bit tighter.
In Kim’s defense its probably hard to keep track of all the people he tortures.
He is brilliant.
All of that is ancient history now. I guarantee you, NK is either going to unify with SK or become it’s own successful country. They are sitting on trillions of dollars worth of rare and precious metals, by the way.
