Blinded by Trump hate, liberals were quick to jump on the bandwagon that the President had some how lost his negotiation standing with Kim Jong Un shortly after he canceled a summit where the two were going to meet.
But, timing is everything.
As BizPac Review reported, North Korea had kept one of its promises and destroyed a nuclear testing site Thursday morning. At the time it wasnt clear if Trumps decision to cancel the meeting happened before or immediately after the site was decimated.
As dust from the bombshell news settled, it looks as if it was the latter. But, reactionary leftists arent good at waiting for facts or revelations to pan out and immediately ripped into Trump for being played by the dictator.
"Why I gave Trump an F on his foreign policy. He is not committed to doing the hard work of serious diplomacy."
"I worked w/@WomenLegisLobby to introduce a bill pushing Congress to put checks on Trumps nuclear first strike power. This work is more important than ever. #ma3 #mapoli"

"Kim Jong Un played Trump and won. How embarrassing. The bar is so low for Trump and he still cant slither under it."

Its a ridiculous notion to believe Trump was in this to win a Nobel Peace Prize. A prize thats been stripped of its meaning especially since it was given to former President Obama for doing nothing. But its even more ridiculous to believe that Trump was played by little Rocket Man.
While liberals were gloating over Trumps apparent loss, another narrative was developing as reports from within North Korea started to come out.
Officials inside NoKo were reportedly shocked as they heard the news that summit was called off especially as it came just AFTER the test site was destroyed.
"NK tried to leverage Trump and he pulled out instead. Thats what hes supposed to do."

"Youve got to think that Kim blowing up his nuclear test site and then immediately losing the summit cant help his standing internally"

Being inside this country just hours after they blew up a nuclear site.. its very awkward and uncomfortable moment right now.

"CNN on phone from north korea now. says he was the first person to read to the north korean officials he was with trumps letter. they had all just been together seeing a nuclear site dismantled."
"he said they were in shocked, got up, left and are all on the phone."

"With all due respect, I dont know how Trump got played by Kim Jong Un. Trump got 3 hostages out of North Korea and got them to dismantle parts of their nuclear weapons program, including destroying one of their testing sites. And he gave them what exactly?"

"There are three Americans home today who would dispute the notion that President Trump's attempt to hold a summit with North Korea achieved "nothing.""

So, who is playing who? Ari Fleischer went on Fox Business to explain Trumps gaining the leverage now.
And, its still fluid situation. Nothing is set in stone.
President Trump, after canceling the North Korea summit in a lengthy letter just a few hours ago, says just now that theres a chance the existing summit could still take place.
Stay tuned.
Should have showed up at the planning meeting in Singapore.
Kim Jong Un being taught a lesson in international diplomacy.
Also, little rocket man is feeling the heat from inside NK as faith in leadership takes major hit.
Go Trump!
North Korea had kept one of its promises and destroyed a nuclear testing site Thursday morning.
That POS emploded back in 2008
The Art of the Deal. Even the Chinese are making the mistake of underestimating Trump’s negotiating/brokering skills.
Let the 3D chess continue.
Too much win.
Wait... Trump got him to destroy a nuke site THEN cancelled the meeting he wanted, and Trump “got played”???
I think it’s brilliant if that’s what he did
I am SO GLAD the libtards are exposed themselves for the dumphuks they are
.
The site that they “destroyed” was not functional.
.
Liberals are just stupid. Wastes of oxygen.
They all need to shut up and let The Man do the job.
A HUGE (YUGE) ability that President Trump brings to POTUS perhaps NEVER seen before is the knowledge that you can walk away from every deal until it is inked.
Amazing how few predecessors (especially his immediate one) have understood that.
If you aren’t willing to walk away then don’t come to the table.
These people are stupid.
Trump doesn’t get “played”.
Liberals would love World War III to happen so they can blame Trump for it..they would be fine with getting blown off the face of the earth just so they cay say “See its Trump’s fault” I say we send North Korea these liberal freaks and let them do whatever they want with them
Game over, for now.
IMHO, Kim Jong Un was going to cancel the summit at the last minute to show the world what a tough guy he is, and how he wasn’t going to let President Trump push him around. Instead, the President pulled the rug out from under him.
Yep and China is behind this.
They expected a other Madeline Albright.
I learned that lesson at the Shanghai fake market in 2004.
“oh bu bu bu”
“tai gui le”
Walk away... OK! OK! OK! 150 150, for you special price, don’t tell.
They are all about ‘saving face’ in that neck of the woods.
oh yeah, toast of the town
You’re suppose cave and give to give more stuff ,not cancel ,LOL
I think they were planning on cancelling anyway, but at the last minute to embarrass Trump - Kim has been blustering about that. So Trump just outsmarted them.
let’s see... DJT engages NoKo. They blow up their nuke site.
And now some idiots are dissing Trump!?
subject to normal verification of course, this sounds like SUPER news!
now if DJT can similarly de-fang Iran and its terrorist gangs like Hezballah, PLO-Abbas-PA-Fath-Hamas, etc.
GO TRUMP! whatever he’s doing behind the scenes, its a Miracle!
