well, of course it was for his own self benefit, but at least it's going somewhere
stupid Obama did fuck all, and was listening to the stupid propaganda from his generals
how wrong he was, again!!!
vive Trump, the POTUS who can deliver
If you lower the bar for Trump any further you'll be digging a ditch.
No missile testing, no rockets flying over Japan and even Elton John hasn't complained about Trump using the sarcastic phrase "Little Rocket Man"
We should all be thankful he's not the trigger happy leader those crazy lefties claimed he was/is.
Little Rocket man is not scary but Putin is but Trump is way too smart to put his hand in the dogs mouth to see if he bites he knows already what would happem
So he gives him tit bits to keep him happy to avoid any future conflict and that's a strength not a weakness
He sure can, Trump on the summit: “I signed an agreement where we get everything, everything”
Oh my bad that was the last summit in 2018 that achieved nothing despite Trump's claims it achieved everything!
Sometimes it really does seem that his supporters are stuck in an abusive co-dependent relationship with him: he keeps lying; they keep believing him; when it becomes apparent he has lied yet again they still stick with him in the hopes that this time he will change and the next time will be different...
This guy sums up the exchange nicely...

how?
kim, his father and his grandfather have been at this for decades, so there is no way in hell kim is just going to turn over his nuclear weapons and capability. in addition to the epic loss of face, he saw what happened to gaddafi.
trump is getting played by kim.....just like past kims played past presidents....and on jan 19, 2021 we'll be in exactly the same place we were on jan 19, 2017.
Agree and have stated so a couple times. If today's show does no more than reopen talks that were at full stop, then how can Trump's ego trip be a bad thing.
So what is the solution? Another 66 years of the same?
Un is not his father or grandfather and things today are not as they were before.
Russia is in no position to act as sugar daddy and China although wanting to retain some NK influence is not going to risk big to keep NK afloat.
Who knows where this will end? Might even allow NK to keep some nukes. Certainly some bad actors have them already.
Both sides are going to have to give or this circle jerk will continue endlessly.
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect,"
that would be a huge walk-back on the oft stated trump policy of no nukes....not saying trump's word means anything, but to suddenly say, "well, OK kim, keep a handful of nuclear weapons." would have to be considered a massive policy failure.
IMO neither side is going to give because they can't.
we can meet back here on jan 20, 2021 and see if things are any different.
Kim's playing him....Kim's proven he'll walk away from a shitty deal in his eyes too.
I understand but this professor hit the nail on the head. It is just empty bluster. For those who can not see it..
https://twitter.com/Robert_E_Kelly/s...-asia-48815700And no, Trump and Kim aren’t ‘friends.’ Trump personalizes diplomacy, bc 1) it flatters him personally to think he’s liked by powerful people; 2) it excuses Trump from learning/reading/preparing. If diplomacy is Trump & his buddies hanging out together, then the details are /1
US-North Korea: Trump and Kim agree to restart talks in historic meeting
Both countries agreed to set up teams to resume stalled nuclear talks.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-48814975
Who would be so stupid enough to throw away all his weapons when at his gate standing somebody armed to the teeth, well known for his incursions, so much suffered upon already once...
Exactly. Kim's gone from a tin pot dictator of a piss poor country sucking up to China to one that can openly gloat that he is such an important nuclear power that dumb shit US presidents go out of their way to come and shake his hand.
That baldy orange cunto is a special kind of fucking idiot.

Ocasio-Cortez leads critics of video showing Ivanka Trump G20 chat
First daughter attempts to talk with May, Macron and more
New York Democrat laments damage to ‘diplomatic standing’
The French government on Saturday released a brief clip of a discussion at the G20 summit in Osaka involving four world leaders – and Ivanka Trump.
In the 19 seconds of footage, Donald Trump’s daughter appears to attempt to join a conversation between French president Emmanuel Macron, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, International Monetary Fund director Christine Lagarde and British prime minister Theresa May.
Among widespread reaction on social media, most of it critical of the first daughter, the New York Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said such behaviour “hurts our diplomatic standing”.
Trump has been criticised before for appearing to stand in for her father at international summits, for example during a discussion on health and migration in Africa at the 2017 G20 in Hamburg.
In the video released by the Elysée Palace, Macron can be heard to make a point about “social justice”, to which Trump, standing to his right, says either “it’s on” or “it’s all”.
May answers Macron, saying: “As soon as you start talking about the economic aspect of it though, a lot of people start listening who wouldn’t otherwise listen.”
Trump agrees, and says: “And the same with the defence side I think, in terms of the whole sort of…”
Standing to Trump’s right, Lagarde looks steadily at Trudeau. The president’s daughter tails off, gesturing with her hands.
“…being very male dominated,” she says, nodding. “So…”
In her tweet about the video, Ocasio-Cortez said: “It may be shocking to some, but being someone’s daughter actually isn’t a career qualification. It hurts our diplomatic standing when the president phones it in [and] the world moves on.
“The US needs our president working the G20. Bringing a qualified diplomat couldn’t hurt either.”
After the G20 in Japan, during which Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner attended talks with China about trade, the Trumps proceeded to South Korea.
On Sunday father and daughter took an unprecedented diplomatic step, through the Demilitarised Zone and into North Korean territory.
Ivanka Trump pronounced the experience “surreal”.

*Zing!*being someone’s daughter actually isn’t a career qualification
Clown....I'm not the one with the silly hat
You are so biased you would have Trump go in bare knuckled tell little rocket man he's a monster and start WW3 killing millions
Or maybe he could just do like Obama and Hillary did with Gaddafi and we could lose 1000's more people like Sean Smith Chris Stevens Tryone Woods and Glen Doherty.
Trump is a very smart guy and will make friends with the devil if it saves lives unlike idiots like you
well, since Trump can't trust his own officials to carry his message, using family in diplomacy is not a bad move
it had worked for hundreds of years in royal diplomacy, this is a new fresh approach by Trump
Lagarde is a stupid old snob, she should remember she is a corrupt official who help a criminal friend steal 450m EUR from the state
