Summit Success Catches “Experts” Off Guard
RUsh Limbaugh.com ^ | June 12, 2018 | Rush Limbaugh

RUSH: So I’m like everybody; I’m watching this last night, and there was a picture. There was a picture on my TV, and I guess it was around 9:30 or 10 o’clock, somewhere in that neighborhood. President Trump and Little Rocket Man were exiting whatever room they had spent some time in, and they were on the move. They were headed to their working lunch room.

And I notice that as they’re walking along, Trump is kind of shepherding Little Rocket Man. Trump made sure he was right next to time, side by side. But Little Rocket Man seemed a bit diminutive to me. And I think I’ve got this guy pretty much sized up, which I’ll get to in a moment. I don’t want to get ahead of myself here.

They finally get to the room where they’re gonna have the working lunch, and there are not too many people in that room. It’s a rectangular table, and from our vantage point on the right side table was Trump and Mike Pompeo, secretary of state, and they had a couple of translators and maybe an additional person. So six people per side.

And then on the Nork side you had Little Rocket Man and his group. And I’m looking at this picture, and I’m just imagining — remember the story we had yesterday of all these 400-some-odd think tank, foreign policy intellectuals who are upset that Trump is blackballing them from his administration because they had ridiculed him, criticized him all during the campaign.

All during the primaries, written and signed letters claiming Trump was a disaster. And now they expect Trump to just forget that. Presidents are supposed to forget what’s said about them during campaigns and be bigger than all that. And these guys are upset and their feelings are hurt because they haven’t been hired.

And now they claim that Trump is not acting presidential because he’s actually blackballing them. But it wouldn’t just be them. It would be the entire Obama foreign policy operation and the media. Watching that picture, I think their head exploded, I think they were blowing up. I think that they were coming more and more unhinged. They’re looking at that picture, and they, A, can’t believe this is happening.

I don’t believe that anybody thought this was gonna happen. I think the media — and, by the way, folks, excuse me for harping so much on the media. When I use “media” now, I’m being inclusive of the entire opposition to Trump. As you know, I think they lead it. I don’t think the Democrat Party leads the opposition. I think the media does. The media gives the marching orders, not take them. And I’ve been of this opinion since Trump was in the campaign.

I’m glad he’s trying something different than the last several administrations have done, but the summit is not an achievement by itself. It is something the Kims have always been willing and eager to do. The question is, what’s in it for us?

There is exactly one expert.

His name is Trump.

All the others are total jackasses.

It’s amazing to see how this agreement went a from great development to a “getting in bed with a horrible dictator” within hours in the MSM.

I've known for many years that the media is our nations biggest problem.

What does it say when I have more faith in the North Koreans doing the right thing than the American left? Under Clinton, we would have nuclear North Korea and nuclear Iran.

I believe I have been saying that for 23 years.

Presidents are supposed to forget what’s said about them

Is it possible that Trump sized them up and realized that they had no clue how to make America Great Again? They don't even know how to negotiate their own jobs.

It should be recognized that Henry Kissinger wrote a paper in 1960 Peace, Legitimacy, and the Equilibrium. Every college class since then, every think tank expert, every state department employee since then, everyone except Ronald Reagan, Bolton and Trump used the Peace, Legitimacy, and the Equilibrium thesis as the basis for all diplomacy. Trump is destroying their entire understanding of reality.

The thing I really respect about Trump is he can forgive. Never forget of course but he can get past old grudges to make a mutually beneficial deal.

In this case there’s nothing in it for the President personally other than historical significance. It’s simply the right thing to do.

Other, weak and small-minded people like McCain and the never Trumpers in general, are not capable of this higher set of morality. It’s simply beyond them.

“It should be recognized that Henry Kissinger wrote a paper in 1960 Peace, Legitimacy, and the Equilibrium.”

And since that moment, the world has only seen war and turmoil rather than “peace”, elites advancing a private and hidden agenda in the place of “legitimacy”, and instability in the place of “equilibrium”.

No sane person should listen to a word they say.
