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.”

The sanctions stay until the deal is completely verified. The nuke tests have stopped as well as the missile launches. The war games have always been viewed by Trump as being overly costly.

I have a long list of media folks I ignore. They are as dishonest as they are creepy. The good news is the media is completely unaware of how they come off - and in truth, they are helping Trump.

Is it just me, that so far nobody got nut'n?

As far as I can tell, all anybody signed was a memorandum of understanding. I don't see anything that's binding, nor anything that irreversible.

As far as Trump letting Kim be seen as an equal, if that's what it takes to open Kim's mind to the possibilities of bringing the advanced world to North Korea, then so what? If Kim decides to join the rest of the world population, he won't be able to keep his torture chambers anymore, so that's a good thing, right?

Developing North Korea will open up a lot of business in the emerging markets which are starting to slide right now. If the emerging markets fall, the developed markets will shortly follow. Opening up North Korea for development may be the black swan change that the equity markets need right now.

Yes? No?

Fox should fire Shep the Gay now. He claims to be a journalist, but he's nothing but a DNC propagandist. He didn't report the news, he offered his false opinions.

But military exercises were ended before:

“Team Spirit was a joint military training exercise of United States Forces Korea and the Military of South Korea held between 1976 and 1993. The exercise was also scheduled from 1994 to 1996 but cancelled during this time period as part of diplomatic efforts to encourage the Government of North Korea to disable the North Korean nuclear weapons program.[1] The North Korea regime abandoned talks following the January 1986 Team Spirit exercises,[2] and in late 1992, North Korea unilaterally withdrew from the South-North High-Level Talks due to the 1993 Team Spirit exercise.”

That’s a rational assessment you’ve presented. I agree.

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?

Oh, they understand it.

They just hate the President.

Why Faux keeps this gay liberal is beyond me.

I work for a major corporate behemoth which continues to push "diversity". Same thing. Insurance against law suits.

I watched Shemp’s sniveling performance this afternoon. It was disgraceful. He should be fired from Fox immediately for being neither fair nor balanced.

Smith is just another loud noise on the airwaves to be ignored.

None of these geniuses we hear from on the left whether we want to, or not understand much of anything outside their shorts.
