Fox News host says Kim Jong Un 'got it all' from Trump for virtually nothing in return

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. … There’s 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 doesn’t 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 America’s 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.”

What Shep doesn’t realize is, this is actually more of that 8th dimensional chess, the same game Trump played with the Democrats and Repubicans in Congress when he supposedly gave them everything they demanded by signing that finance bill which included funding for Planned Parenthood and a prohibition on building a wall on the southern U.S. border. Wow, how that deal backfired on the entrenched Obama liberals! Yeah, you’re real stupid, Shep. You just don’t get it.

BREAKING: Trump locates the Holy Grail!

U.S media responds: Is it really that Holy?

Juan Williams says, "no way".

Actually I thought the article was going to be about Juan the unwatchable when I opened it.

Turns out Shep got jealous of Juan and went full attention whore.

Supposedly Smith is Fox’s “hard news” guy. But, in reality, he acts and speaks as though he’s Fox’s Resident Snarky Leftist Opinion Agendanista. I think that Shep lost his way along the Hershey Highway.

These partisans are certainly predictable in trying to trash an unprecedented moment in history.

The sanctions that brought him to the table are still in place. If Kim doesn’t come through he will continue to suffer. At this point he certainly got his ego stroked but that will wear off quickly if he reneges.

What part of the fact that this communique was the beginning of the final agreement, which has actually already been worked on for months, do these people not understand?

Trump gave nothing in return other that normalized relations.

Sorry to burst your bubble Shep.

No nukes, and a relationship where both sides win.

Yeah, Shep, talk about a bad deal... (this guy is Out to Lunch.)

FDR met with Stalin, King Saud and numerous Latin rotters. Democrats loved to meet with the Castro brothers. The number of times that US Presidents have met with the world’s criminals is likely uncounted. But when politics qua diplomacy demands it one sups with the Devil.

Comcast is trying to buy FOX. Shep is... ahem... sucking up, because he wants to be their ‘Hannity’ if they do.

Shep seemed to have missed that China has pulled anti-ship and Anti-aircraft missiles from he South China Sea.

Because they didn't. The same source that the Washington Times used - South China Morning Post - and which said the missiles were removed on June 3rd was reporting yesterday that the missiles were back. Assuming they were ever removed to begin with.

China puts missiles back on contested South China Sea island as United States pushes allies for bigger military presence in waters

“And what exactly did he give in return?”

Agreed to give up nukes.

Now if he reneges on his agreements, then Trump can cancel out also.

That is how that works.

You did not know that?

I understand that he was called that because he could “huff and puff” with the best of them.
