The world hoped this time was different. Some went so far as to say maybe it took a madman to cut a deal with another madman. But as President Donald Trump went further into negotiating a nuclear summit with North Korea, all the signs were there. And liberals from the start warned Trump he didn't know and wasn't bothering to learn about who he was dealing with. That he needed to prep for the summit, and prepare for the tricks Kim Jong-un would pull along the way. That North Korea has done this before. And Tuesday night, without warning, Kim Jong-un did it again.
North Korea's official state news agency announced late Tuesday night that it was suspending high level talks with South Korea over long-planned, annual military exercises with the U.S. And it threatened to cancel the nuclear summit with President Trump if U.S. demands didn't change.
Experts had warned this would happen. But Trump doesn't believe in experts. And he was too busy claiming "everyone" said he deserved a Nobel prize for his dealings with North Korea which were minimal, South Korea took the lead so he pushed ahead, believing his mere existence would solve the decades-old crisis.

Now, America under Trump once again looks weak, inexperienced, and embarrassed.
Here's what some are saying:

(24,399 posts)where Republicans almost daily accused President Obama of looking weak, apologetic, even though it was patently untrue. Back when we had a fully functional Federal Government, with superb State Department leadership from Hillary Clinton and John Kerry and we never once ended up on the brink of war with North Korea or anybody else and things were relatively peaceful and had improved relations again with entire world. Now, everything is a complete mess and is in shambles under Trump and Republicans seem to be cool with everything.

The name-calling of Kim by 45 will be epic if this summit thing falls apart.

(22,350 posts)You mean the State Dept that Trump has been dismantling?
The one he wants to eliminate as part of a deep state conspiracy?
Or does this tweet refer to the Russian State Department where Trump now gets his foreign policy advice
