He ain’t gonna persuade the Korean dwarf blimp to give up his nukes either.

I don't get what your point.
You want Trump to simply March into North Korea and grab their nuclear weapons?
Yeah that will work a treat.
In reality Trump has imposed the toughest sanctions ever on North Korea. Plus met Kim three times to try and work things out. He's done far more than any US President to try and reach peace with North Korea.
Outside of war that's all he can do. Negotiations backed with tough sanctions.

All this servility does is make him look weak. He’s been very hard-line on foreign policy vis-a-vis the country’s adversaries.

He's been extremely tough on both Russia and North Korea.

He should take credit for it with Reagan-style rhetoric.

Except Reagan turned round and negotiated START with Gorbachev. They ended up very fond of each other.

I’m saying the verbal servility makes him look bad from an electoral standpoint even though he is, in reality, kicking them under table. The media is stressing the servility, which has an effect on national security voters who are part of the GOP coalition.

“American in Tokyo” is fairly well-informed, well to the right of the typical GOP voter, but disgusted by it. What are independent voters who are far less well-informed and right-wing supposed to think? We know Biden is a far left loon like Obama who talks tough while giving the farm away. But all the average independent voter who doesn’t follow the news much has to go on is “my good friend Xi/Kim/Putin”, which the media hammers home day after day, rather than Trump’s very hard-nosed actions vis-a-vis the countries they rule over.
