Chin up. This NORK crap has been going on for 60 years or longer...Trump has been in office less than two.

He is showing everyone he isn’t joking. He isn’t doing photo op diplomacy. He is keeping his promises.

Obozo would have sent his SoS, with either suitcases full of cash or James Taylor.

Glad he is holding rockboy accountable.

Li’l Kim’s waiting to see if Dems take out Trump and go back to coddling America’s enemies.

that he had asked

Not likely. President Trump is comfortable with directing his subordinates actions.

He'd have learned that why back as a senior cadet at NYMA.

That’s right.

I’ve been likening this to him doing his due diligence.

He did’t want to start military action until he had tried to use peaceful methods, including the carrot. Once this falls flat on it’s face, he has a green light.

Hey, we tried.

Although we’re seeing a lot of “gas and brakes” with Pres. Trump’s dealing with NK, I suspect that is normal deal-making process for Trump.

Absolutely. You are right on the mark, and it isn’t JUST l’il Kim the Rocket Boy waiting to see either.

That’s right. It’s just part of the process. Trump will win this easily.

Kim is definitely planning to de-nuclearize...

...right after hell freezes over, and not a moment sooner.

There are no rational people who believe the dems will use political means to “take out” Trump.

Look, just briefly, at his military protection.

All attempts to take him out are part of a conspiracy by America’s enemies.

Trump got them to the table in the first place by being hardline. This just puts fat boy back in the hot seat. The problem is fat boy is a slow learner.

I think Kim gets comfort from the American leftist scum and uses that as leverage because he sees weakness as the media shouts impeachment. By watching the news, one would think POTUS Trump WILL be removed.
