Why Can't Democrats Give Trump Credit on North Korea?

21. I tend to agree. If trump found world peace, healthcare for all, income equality, etc., he'd still

be an ignorant, hateful white wing racist/bigoted buffoon. And he is not going to do any of that, just the opposite.

But, we are better off for having the summit. trump did little if anything to get the summit or make it through, but peace -- even if short-lived -- is better than nukes flying and hundreds of thousands of thousands innocent people killed. Just months ago, we were rightly criticizing trump for threatening to attack, even nuke, NKorea. Now, he bumbles through a summit and things have cooled down a bit for awhile, maybe just a short while.

Jeeez, people actually think because he didn't come back with a 500 page agreement -- that typically takes a year or so to negotiate -- he totally failed. That's wrong. This kind of meeting was to set some kind of lofty goal. The next steps will lead to verification, etc., and hopefully some requirements to improve human rights in NK. Bombing them into treating their people right, isn't going to work.

I know the GOPers viciously criticized Obama for every great thing he -- and the First Lady -- did. They bashed him/her on little things too, including wearing a tan suit or a sleeveless blouse. The outright racist insults were disgusting.

But we don't have to be like GOPers, just because they did it. trump did one thing sort of right, hopefully he or the next Prez can expand upon this beginning of detente and work on human rights for the good of the people in NK and the region. Maybe this moves us a few years closer to that end.

The best message we can send him, rather that yapping at everything, is to win big in November. That would be a renunciation of trump, and display a lack-of-confidence.

I despise GOPers, but rather than wasting time criticizing trump on that, maybe it would be better to just ignore the so-called "summit," and move on to things that do matter -- health care, immigration, raising minimum wage, education, human rights here, corruption . . . . .
