The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter - Page 283 - Politics and Economics

nk has been clear for 2 decades that "denuclearization of the korean peninsula" to them means the united states completely denuclearizes their arsenal, thereby removing the nuclear threat to the korean peninsula

trump is promoting kim bigly as the legitimate leader of north korea with no plan or achievable goal in sight

just for short-term media praise for himself, i guess.

Trump loves dictators. He sees how they are adored by their people and how they don't allow bad things to be said about them and he craves that sort of power.

Democracy means that people can say bad things about you and you even have to be voted in by the people. So he despises democratic societies.

JFC he murders and starves his own citizens by the hundreds of thousands, that tweet is among the most disgraceful communications in American political history, no exaggeration.

Maybe Trump thinks everyone is like him in the sense that they will melt into puppy dogs with a few well placed compliments. When in fact, he is the only one who does so. Or he's just ****ing nuts!

My new co-worker compared Trump refusing to release his taxes to Obama "refusing" to release a birth certificate until he falsified one. Un-****ing-real. It's truly mystifying that anyone thinks this is the same.

Also the fact that people have convinced themselves the dems would really have someone who isn't a citizen run for President and then get away with it for 4+ years without anyone knowing.

Something is up with North Korea grifting-wise. With an ordinary Republican POTUS the most logical thing to thing would be there's a deal for NK to buy something like coal from the POTUS's cronies or for some US corps to be getting access to incredibly cheap NK labor (already a big thing for NK), but considering how stupid Trump is, it could be a hotel or golf course.

Adding to some online observers’ skepticism that Trump’s measurements were accurate was the fact that 239 pounds, at 6-3, conveniently put his body mass index at 29.9 — just below the 30.0 threshold for him to be officially described as obese, rather than merely overweight.

That was last year.

This year's height/weight wasn't released. (or at least I'm not finding it)

Trump getting 2m for the wall and dems getting nothing. Dems gonna dem. Some of the compromises suggested in this thread look pretty good right about now.
