The great negotiator just gave Kim Jong-Un equal status with the President of the United States...

without getting anything for a head-to-head summit.

This is so foolish.

The State Department, nor anyone else in the admin knew anything about it.

2. How so? Concessions from NK could've been gotten before granting that dictator a summit...

3. Lets call it Trump lowering himself to Kim's status. It is kind of hard to think Trump

was above him, but he did end up president somehow.

Didn't Kim claim to have shot an 18 the only time he played golf? If they golf, someone has to get video! I'd bet a case of beer Kim doesn't get the first swing past the ladies tee. Idaho rules, we call that a dickout! You have to play the rest of the hole with your dick out! Okay, no one really does it, but that is supposed to be the rule.

10. And you know that how? President Moon of SK demonstrated brilliantly how well diplomacy can work...

by insisting on including NK athletes and delegation in the Olympics.

All of a sudden Kim Jong-Un wants to meet with trump.

A little diplomacy from trump, instead of the "little rocket man" insult, could've quieted the mutual saber-rattling months ago.

13. I despise trump and he'll likely screw it up; but, otherwise, I don't have problem meeting with Kim.

This junk about "status" hasn't worked anywhere that I know of. Heck, trump should be flattered anyone wants to meet with him.

Seriously, it's a shame trump is in office, but I don't think we should pass this up. We've bullied the world too long, hope trump wises up (doubt he will, but he's our guy right now unfortunately).

14. But Trump got what he wanted. We're not talking about Stormy anymore.

He's kind of played the trump card (pun intended) though. If Stormy is allowed to dish the goods (pictures, video, audio), Don has got nothing left to divert the media attention from his tiny physical attributes.
