What are the chances that Trump is going to take any deal with North Korea

[Dawson Leery]

just to help the GOP in the midterm election?

Will it work?

[Zoonart]

1. He WILL get that deal... count on it.

He will get played and he will give up the store, but he will get a deal and he will crown himself the great peacemaker. Keep the barf bags handy and get ready to become South America.

6. It'll be like the Carrier deal. Only with nuclear warheads.

2. About a 95% probability that a deal will be made.

Trump's betting the farm on it. Also almost guaranteed is that he'll screw it up badly.

Russia and China also want a deal, and Trump will feel the pressure from both of them.

There will be a deal. It will be a bad deal.

3. I agree

Trump desperately needs to come back home waving a piece of paper. The deal will either be so anodyne that nobody has any obligations or gets any benefits, or will be so tilted in North Korea's favor that as soon as someone can explain it to Trump, he'll repudiate it.

Kim has already won big in this whole affair, because the U.S. is treating him like a legitimate leader of a country, a status the Kims have lusted after for generations.

4. Hmmm, history doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme...

5. What if NK wants the same terms

Iran got in the deal Trump trashed?
