tRump got played like a fucking banjo... [View all]

North Korea has wanted to be a major player on the world stage for some time. They felt being a nuclear power was the way to go.

So, they get their nuclear weapon/weapons. They gave the cold shoulder to tRump and his childish threats. Instead, they went directly to S. Korea's leader and started talking to him. The Olympics happened, N. Korea sent some athletes and they were buds with S. Korea. Oh, and let's not forget Pence's snub at the Olympics.

All the while leaving the US out in the cold, looking weak and impotent. N. Korea is calling the shots.

tRump needs a foreign policy win since he knows he's going to give the hawks what they want when he pulls the US out of the Iran deal. Off goes Pompeo, before he was SOS, playing at SOS. N. Korea decides to let the US back in the game...because sanctions and all that.

Now, it looks like tRump is rewarding N. Korea with a visit from POTUS. The prisoners being released are good publicity, but in the end it'll be the US giving into a nuclear powered N. Korea which was what they wanted in the first place.

tRump got played like a fucking banjo.
