After a year of vitriolic sound, fiery tweet fury, and hidden diplomacy, the day has arrived when President Trump will meet face-to-face with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore on Tuesday.

A successful summit could lead to a peace that has been elusive for 50 years; an unsuccessful summit would offer the left yet more ammunition to attack the current administration as having been ‘duped’ and before the summit had begun, Trump had some choice words for the naysayers… ” The fact that I am having a meeting is a major loss for the U.S., say the haters & losers,” Trump tweeted, then explaining where they are wrong: “We have our hostages, testing, research and all missle launches have stopped, and these pundits, who have called me wrong from the beginning, have nothing else they can say! We will be fine!”

And sure enough, just an hour before the historic meeting, the House Democrats chimed in with Nancy Pelosi explaining solemnly what a “historic opportunity” this was – setting the scene for their post-summit PR blitz to play down any and every achievement – and furthermore demanding that the ever-so-helpful Congress “must weigh in on any US-North Korea deal.”
Democrats say they are hope Trump can pull a strong deal off, though they express worry he could accept a bad deal just to secure an agreement.
Yeah, because we’ve ALL seen the outcome of that desperation.
Watching the discussions, photo ops and greetings, Un looks overwhelmed and in awe and Trump looks confident and poised. We could be watching the moment when liberals realize the hazard of creating a denigrating caricature of their opponent and actually believing it.
We all hope there are no international over feeding the koi faux pas(faux news stories).
It might be better for the media to dig up that guy in Hawaii who tried to force his little daughter down a curb-side sewer entrance.
See how he feels since Pres Trump has been seeking a new relationship with NK.
Then find those three freed hostages whose freedom was just made possible by Trump.
See how they feel.
Even the poor Wambier family whose son was freed just hours before he died from his beatings in a NK prison would be interesting interviews.
What Pelosi thinks just doesn’t interest me.
Except how it impacts her side’s election chances.

This morning on MSNBC: “Trump Lavishes Praise on Kim”
On CNN, Max Boot: “Trump gave up a lot and received nothing in return.”
Of note, NO sanctions have been removed yet. Also, NO pallets of cash were delivered.
The left will ride that delusional train of denial right off the cliff. That’s a good thing.

@Deplorable Me: The two most surefire ways to denuclearize the peninsula are unification and war. The bigger picture here may be Trump is pursuing the former (he raised the prospect earlier) and this is the first step. Don’t expect the checker players in the MSM to be able to grasp that. I’m sure if he would have chosen the latter, they’s be screaming “warmonger” like they did when GWB rightly decided to eliminate the Saddam threat.
@another vet: I think what is in the back of Un’s mind is still unknown, but it COULD be that the economic pressures are making his hold on power untenable. I watched a documentary, “Dark Secrets of N. Korea” which covered the N. Korean soldier that defected recently. As he was shot numerous times, he received medical treatment. He was rife with parasitic worms and malnourished, which might be an indication of the state of health and readiness of the rest of their armed forces (except for the officers, of course).
But, unification would mean un-UN-ification, and I doubt Un would be game for that. It is interesting that N. Korea sought this meeting and they have pledged to meet our demands, without any immediate concessions on our part. Much has been made of Trump pledging to stop joint exercises, but he didn’t say we would do that NOW, only that we could stop them (when N. Korea is fully compliant) and save all that expense.
It seems the left has no idea what negotiations look like (Trump uses strong, negative rhetoric, dire threats then, when results begin to materialize, he backs off and commences with sweet talk, accommodation and extended hand) but I think, more likely, they just want to denigrate anything Trump does, live by their caricatures and hope for failure.
@Deplorable Me: We can always try the war route. I’m sure the pro military left will have their kids running down to the recruiting offices ASAP.
