Low Energy Trump fell for the trick all other US Presidents have avoided

[hexola]

Lets face it - Trump took this guy seriously in a media-way that amplified Kim's presence on the world stage.

Today's walkaround Singapore was covered on the US Morning News - everywhere.

Low-energy Trump - nowhere to be seen.

Most US Presidents have been quiet and reserved when faced with the inevitable games Kim plays - this happens every time we elect a new president.

Trump took the bait - and will now face a celebrated Kim. Kim as everything to win - Trump almost CAN'T win anything.

Disadvantage: Trump.

Fire and Fury....?

HA!!!

Bow and Curtsy is more like it!

[gratuitous]

1. Indeed

The Kim family, for generations, has craved acknowledgment and legitimacy among world leaders, and Trump has conferred that on Kim Jong Un, a recognition that can't be taken back. Conservatives revved themselves up over Obama's failure to be as bellicose as they wanted, inventing the apology tour, and claiming to see bows and deferences every time Obama met with other world leaders.

Here's the real thing, and what's the reaction from conservatives? Full-throated roars of approval at official recognition of a tin pot dictator.

2. Exactly.

By refusing to meet with North Korea, they were 1. Setting an example that we do not compromise with mass murdering dictators and 2. It refuses to legitimize North Korea on a worldwide stage.

5. "...a recognition that can't be taken back."

Yes, & it will go especially bad for the Con if he behaves badly & Kim does not. Gee, what are the chances of that happening?

12. Trump lusts for the dictatorial power of Kim and Putin. He is a megalomaniac.

This is the face of Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin reincarnated. He should scare the hell out everyone. Pure unadulterated evil. You are witnessing a creature that is without a shred of compassion. A soulless creature without a conscience who can destroy people without even the least amount of remorse. A filthy beast who uses his power to sate his lust and discards his victim as garbage. There is absolutely no doubt that he would if granted the absolute power he craves, would slaughter millions to satisfy his rage.

He will go down in history as one of the most corrupt men to ever attain the presidency. I doubt that I will be around to see the conclusion of this fiasco for it is going to take years for America to regain any semblance normalcy. A third of our citizens have been so deeply indoctrinated in the message of hatred that it will have as deep of resilience as the evil of racism that continues to plague over a third of our citizens. We are witness to one of the most successful propaganda program that has ever be devised. It is so bizarre that people are no longer even phased by the outlandish lies that are daily propagated on national media. They are not even minimally challenged, but allow the he same veracity as if spoken by Jesus Himself. What can come of this? Nothing but misery that will be shared by all. The writing on the wall is clear. If not stopped it will be a return to the dark days of the exploitation that prevailed during the 19th century. This is what the oligarchs hold for the future of your youth.

3. The ass-clown has been played, as usual... what a dope!

[hexola]

4. I suspect Trump will get nothing...and then what?

Can't really get back to the Fire and Fury moment now...!

Dumb ass!!!

[erronis]

14. Pute will win. This isn't about the US achieving any goals - only about the USSR

[czarjak]

6. "If he'll say nice things about me"?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

7. Trump will pump this up as a win to his base - count on it.

A number of authors who have studied him say it's all about wins for him. I suspect it's one reason he was so sloppy at G-7, because his lone brain cell was focused on a North Korea win.

As others have said, I suspect history will show this only as a win for Kim and China......

His next big "win" will be a footsie session with Putin, probably with great fanfare and Putin wearing a MAGA hat......

[Cosmocat]

10. THIS - people are celebrating actual reality

nothing much is likely to come from it, but that no longer matters.

45 will tweet "BIG WIN FOR AMERICA!"
The right wing media will breathlessly scream NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
The zombie base will have this "win" to counter his being Putin's bitch
The "liberal media" will enable this
The mushy middle will see this as justification for their sense that poor 45 is getting picked on

We will rip our hair out ...

9. All US Presidents refused to meet NK dictator without getting something. Until Trump got nothing. nt

19. Trump is energetic enough to attack

America's allies (G7, NATO) and kiss up to it's worst enemies. That's too energetic IMO.

In the gambling world the fat man would be known as a mark.
