Senate Democrats on Monday presented President Trump with their list of conditions for a denuclearization deal with North Korea, saying they would only support lifting sanctions on Pyongyang in exchange for complete dismantling of the nuclear program.

They also want a deal to put checks on North Korea’s chemical and biological weapons.

The senators laid out a list of five demands in a letter to Mr. Trump, who is preparing for a June 12 summit with North Korea leader Kim Jong-un.

Sen. Charles E. Schumer, who signed the letter with six other Senate Democrats, told reporters that the Democrats didn’t want America “saddled with a bad deal.”

The New York Democrat warned against Mr. Trump accepting a bad deal just because he wanted a deal.

“The president needs to be able to walk away from the table if there isn’t a good deal to be had,” Mr. Schumer said. “He also needs to be willing to take the time to construct a good deal.”

Democrats staunchly opposed Mr. Trump’s moves with North Korea from the start, saying his tough rhetoric was tempting nuclear war and then that agreeing to a face-to-face meeting was empowering Mr. Kim.

The demands as items to be negotiated are sound. The motivation by Schumer and the Dems is pure horse sh*t.

These Democrat screw worms never made a deal that benefited Americans for decades while they stood on a platform of debt, death and decline, but now they want to make demands regarding Trumps deal?

How pathetic.

Oh, brother. Yeah, from the same folks who brought us the Iran deal comes this sage guidance. We should drop John Kerry into North Korea to conduct the talks directly. I volunteer to pack his chute.

The goal is sabotage because they know if Trump pulls this off it’s over they are finished. The good of the nation/world is secondary to thier accusation of power.

“The New York Democrat warned against Mr. Trump accepting a bad deal just because he wanted a deal”

Who does he think he’s talking to???? Obama/Kerry/Clinton?

Sit down and shut up Chuck. We have a real leader in the Oval Office.

(Chuck is just re-stating Trump’s objectives so he can take credit for Trump’s successes. What a jerk!)

LOOSER, LOSER? What’s an occasional extra O among friends. Unless we’re discussing looser bowels, or looser morals, or even looser-fitting BVDs. But if it’s a loser we’re discussing; that’s Chuck-U Schumer alright.

Trump should tell Schumer to save it for the treaty ratification debate.
