Except theyre finding legitimate dirt on Trump and his fam every couple days

And after 8 years the best conservatives could do was wave their arms around while shouting Benghazi! and but her emails!

Isn't that basically inviting Kim Jong Un to commit suicide.

Now now that ruins the "both sides are the same" narrative that lets this shit go unchecked

Of course Kim begged on his hands and knees for mercy from Trump and Trump laid his massive hands on Kim and said
"You may rise"
---

He also said that he doesn't need to prepare much because the important thing is "attitude" and "a willingness to get things done."

Really setting himself up for success here...

Um... yes. Yes you do. Quite a lot more actually.

Or do you really think that Trump is the first person from either party to come up with the idea of "Maybe we should convince North Korea to give up their nukes and make peace with them"?

I beweive you just gawda ask Widdow Wocket Man weawy nicewy!

Ah, yes the start of WW3.

Some rogue element manages to assassinate him under Trump's watch and chaos erupts.

Maybe it was actual poison or he couldn't resist all the good food. History will never know for sure.

I don't see why not.
May even get a repeat of the (alleged) time Boris Yeltzin got shitfaced drunk and wandered around DC in his underwear.

I wonder how long it will be before trump invite him to a Knicks game. or Does Kim perfer Dennis Rodman in the Bulls era more.

Nah that's why he put tariffs on Canadian steel. Ivanka betacucked Donald by making him watch her get fucked by Trudeau.

Although somebody may *claim* a controversy every few days -- taking a page from the Fox News model -- almost all of them are nontroversies or outright manufactroversies (like the fish food one)

I know you just recently became woke, but Benghazi didn't even happen until 2012. Plus Hillary had a lot more baggage than improper use of her email address and dropping the ball on Benghazi, by way of her connection to Bill.

He's coming to the US, not the Hague.

Isn't it a good thing for people to scrutinize every action taken by government? So it's good the left hates Trump cus, for the first time, it's really pushing young ppl into activism.. both sides do and both are obnoxious but they'll get worn out and be civil eventually or implode and whatever.

If it's pushing them into stupid activism, it's arguably worse than apathy.

And it's hard to say "for the first time", since we've already seen something similar (with all of its negative repercussions) during the hippie era.

What a world! Trump is trying to be friends with North Korea while trying to start a war with Canada.

You can hate Trump.

But every other president straight ignoring North Korea because they didn't want to get involved wasn't better.

Unless you think the better solution was to invade and occupy North Korea in the face if China who protects it.

What did the other presidents do?

Keep sanctions in place (which is basically ignoring the problem)?

Mention how North Korea is bad every once in a while?

I mean take possible steps to changing North Korea for the better.

There is no way to know to know if the talks between Trump and Kim will bear any fruit but it's better than keeping them at arms length and everything else being lip service.

I take it you aren't really up to speed on this whole "North Korea" thing, then.

Clinton had to deal with what was, in essence, the first North Korean nuclear threats as North Korea declared its intent to create a nuclear weapon. He threatened military action before eventually convening negotiations that resulted in the "Agreed Framework", an agreement that North Korea would freeze and eventually dismantle their nuclear program and make peace with the US in return for fuel and some light-water nuclear reactors meant for energy production.

Bush Jr. torpedoed that agreement, accusing the North Koreans of not living up to their end of the deal (basically picture Trump with the Iran deal and change the names and that's what happened here) and North Korea withdrew from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty in response. Bush then decided to give negotiation a shot with the Six-Party Talks. North Korea agreed (again) to denuclearize, rejoin the Non-Proliferation Treaty, allow IAEA inspectors into the country, and make peace with the US in return for fuel and some light-water nuclear reactors meant for energy production. Then they decided to start testing long-range missiles, which they'd previously agreed not to do, so they got hit with a fresh round of sanctions to try and force them to the table.

A second round of Six-Party Talks followed and North Korea agreed (yet again) to denuclearize and make peace with the US in return for aid, fuel, sanctions relief, and some light-water reactors. Things improved for a while right at the end of Bush Jr.'s second term.

Then Obama was elected and North Korea responded by almost immediately conducting a rocket launch. More sanctions followed and North Korea reneged on the agreements it had made under Bush, culminating in a second nuclear test. The Obama administration continued negotiating with North Korea, past Kim Il Sung's death in 2012, and North Korea agreed to a moratorium on nuclear and missile tests... then almost immediately broke that agreement with rocket launches.

So yeah, you are correct that Trump is the first president to negotiate and seek peace with North Korea, as long as you ignore literally every other president since the end of the Cold War. Those of us who are old enough to remember when the USSR was a thing have seen this story play out many times now. New president comes in, offers peace, North Korea agrees in return for aid, once aid is received North Korea abandons agreement and resumes development of nuclear arms. And given how strikingly ignorant Trump is of history, I don't anticipate he'll be able to do any better.
