President Donald Trump says he doesn’t need the advice of Democrats when it comes to North Korea, tweeting early Friday that they “did NOTHING” on Pyongyang’s nuclear program during the Obama administration.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters this week that he’s concerned the president’s desire for a deal could saddle the U.S. and its allies with unfavorable terms. Democrats have written a letter to Trump outlining what they say should be conditions for the planned summit next week.
Trump tweets that Schumer and other Democrats were unable to achieve such a meeting with the North Korean leader. He writes: “Schumer failed with North Korea and Iran, we don’t need his advice!”
He’s calling this tremendous no-strings gift they’ve wanted for decades “the Summit the Dems could never set up” but never mind that, never mind, it helps to remember this is better than a devastating war in South Asia that could become a global nuclear holocaust very easily. This is better.
every thread in recent days could easily support the “this is fine” meme 100%.
What North Korea is getting: prestige and legitimacy, willingness on the part of Beijing and Moscow to ease up on sanctions enforcement, demonstrating to other parties that the Trump administration is a bad actor (following the JCPOA), asserting their right to keep their weapons.
What North Korea has given up: Nothing
What the United States is getting: a meeting with Kim Jong-Un that could’ve happened at any point in the past several decades
What the United States has given up: all of its leverage and credibility
Heh. This is better because anything is better. But better is not necessarily fine.
I don’t care what anyone says, the feckless cunt fruit did not fall far from the feckless cunt tree.
