Fluctations in low approval ratings and the continuation of the economic expansion that started early in Obama's first term are the only accomplishments you can attribute to Trump.

 

Declaring one has a "terrific relationship" with a cruel tyrant is hardly grounds for a Nobel Peace Prize.

The old saying, keep your enemies closer, is masterminded to a new level by Trump.  What an absolute genius of a president. Handling the situation very well with The supreme leader.  Supreme president. Well done.

Haha. Just a few minutes before reading your post I was discussing the meaning of a strangely familiar Thai word I heard on TV, jintanakarn.  it's imagination.

You have quite an imagination.

Not that original though. The alt right trolls that worship the bizarre president often refer to him as God Emperor. That's downright un-American.

It is, though I have never heard anyone refer to Trump in that way.

I haven't heard or seen the "God Emperor" reference.  The Trump faithful strike me as similar to members of a cult, following, believing and obeying their cult leader in defiance of all evidence and logic.

From the very moment of the tragic "election" of "trump" it was clear to me that he was going to be an existential threat to American democracy. I was accused of using hyperbole. Turns out, to anyone paying attention, he has been WORSE than realistic expectations, much worse.

 

So here we are.

His fans. Irredeemable. 

The republican party. The hostile takeover is almost total.

His opponents. Roughly those that still cling to the delusion that he's just another bad president and those that get the severity of the threat he poses.

So many famous people get the latter, such as the late night host Stephen Colbert, it was obvious like so many he got it from minute one.

 

Of course both groups of opponents are needed to make a change before it's too late. After 2018 may well be too late.

An anti-American president and the party that won’t lift a finger to stop him

What all this tells us is that the problem facing America runs much deeper than Trump’s personal awfulness. One of our two major parties appears to be hopelessly, irredeemably corrupt. And unless that party not only loses this year’s election but begins losing on a regular basis, America as we know it is finished.

Great article. Every word is true from what I could tell. The Democrat party is in ruins and by all of my observations they seem to be doubling down on their failed pro corporatist, identity politics model.  That way lies more and more failure IMO. Still, they can bitch about the winners, so they got that going for them.

He also announced he will be ending the joint military exercises with South Korea without getting any explicit consessions from Kim Jong Un or notifying South Korea before making this public announcement.  Great negotiating Drumpf.

 

Trump should never be left unattended with representatives of hostile powers.  He's too gullible, and it's dangerous.

It's a process,my friend.No harm in tryin for peace and a unified Korea! The deranged alt left refuse to recognize PT efforts to make change for both Korea's and the USA.The process could be the demise of the radical left,seeing that alllllllll they talk about is impeachment and PT  unfit mentality,when in reality its just a Queen's swagger.  We will see what kind of turnout he gets in his next rally in MN. Should be huge !

In this process Trump is making explicit promises, the end of joint US-South Korea military exercises, and getting nothing in return.  So far North Korea has been doing all the winning, the US has received nothing.

 

Maybe he can get a friendly crowd in Minnesota.  It's more telling that he can't get a friendly crowd in his home city.  It seems the better people know Trump, the less they like him.

But there is harm in having the President attend a very preliminary meeting with Kim. Trump is already spinning an agreement with no binding commitments as a major triumph. This is the kind of agreement that in the past people from the State Dept. arranged for in  discreet negotiations.

"people from the State Dept. arranged for in  discreet negotiations"

Is 3 months discreet enough ?Or better still ,since the elections  2016. And the preliminary is part of the  very talked about , PROCESS.

Maybe you think it's wise for a President to stake his prestige on the negotiations ultimatey succeeding. It's clear it gives Kim, a dictator, a big advantage over someone who depends on elections for continuing his mandate.

The process involves the negotiations .If the process breaks down then further diplomacy will take place.It gives the USA and its geographical allies a chance to live together with out fear a nuclear  threats.PT is dammed if he speaks his mind and dammed if he uses diplomacy according to the  left.They want America to fail.

He usually damns himself by speaking his mind since it comes up with contradictory statements on a regular basis. The problem isn't that he's using diplomacy, it's that he's misusing it. He's now on the electoral hook for a successful outcome. Not a real problem for Kim.

If, in fact, there's no precedent then the question is still undecided.
