Fox News host Shep Smith on Tuesday slammed President Donald Trump for how he conducted himself at a historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, accusing him of giving Kim everything he wanted while receiving virtually nothing in return.
America demanded complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization. Theres no guarantee of that, not even words to that effect, Smith said of the agreement signed between Trump and Kim, which says North Korea will work toward denuclearization but doesnt offer specific details on how this will occur.
The Fox News host decried Trump for offering his signature to an agreement that only offered generalities.
Smith also ripped into Trump for agreeing to halt joint military exercises between the US and South Korea on the Korean Peninsula.
[Kim] wanted the photos, the seat at the table, he wanted the legitimacy that came with the event, the handshake with Americas president, Smith said. And he wanted those military exercises with the Americans and the South Koreans that happen every year to stop.
Kim Jong Un got it all, for actually doing nothing, Smith added.
Shep is NOT impressed by Trump's summit performance

At a press conference following the summit, Trump described Kim as a talented man who loves his country and people.
Smith seemed appalled by the way Trump complimented Kim, describing him as a leader who has committed crimes against humanity ruling over the most entrenched land in all the world.
The Fox News host reminded the audience the UN has characterized Kim as the leader of one of the most brutal and repressive regimes in modern history.

“I hear he likes having his face painted too!”
Umm, in shemp’s case it’s probably not paint.
There are new leaders on both sides.
POTUS will not tolerate any backsliding. The sanctions remain in place until the nuclear stockpiles are destroyed, after 20% destruction the process cannot be reversed and it is at that point that POTUS has said that the sanctions may begin to be loosened if NK has fulfilled its agreement terms. We still hold the cards.
I am actually more worried about China waiting, until the Korean peninsula is integrated and the infrastructure and hotel/factories are in place, to stage a takeover bid. I think that is why POTUS wants to bring Russia into the Asian Union so that there will be a bulwark against China.
That was one of the points POTUS team made.
The people of NK have been raised to think of the US as devils that are waiting to invade. They needed to see lots of smiles & an amiable USA with hands extended in peace to overcome a lifetime of conditioning & fear.
I was making an obtuse reference to Roger Rabbit ... I failed.

I read Shep Smith, and needed to read no more. He always was a lightweight.
