Hey if relations with north Korea do improve and it is due to Trump then yes he deserves the credit. However it is too early I want to see how this turns out.

It sounds conspiracy theory-esque, but there's obviously a lot more at play here than just north and south korea- this is a long game played with a tremendous amount of skill by China, who are making exactly the right moves with results that won't come to light until years after trump

Trump is the perfect leader for China, who can play him in the long game and take advantage of his personality to mask true intentions

This is great because all I've seen liberals do is go "Hurr it's the SK president who did everything worth crediting"

Guess nothing is noteworthy if this isn't

"All noteworthy news is because of Trump"

I genuinely don't understand what Trump could possibly have done, other than acting erratic enough that he scared everyone in the region into working more closely together. That's not praiseworthy at all.

This is why Trump won.

I hate Trump like many others, but this is coming from the foreign minister of South Korea. I mean, what more do you want here? Trump deserves credit for this in the end, and he might (somehow) get a Nobel peace prize thanks to his shitposting on Twitter.

A high ranking official of one of the two countries involved is directly thanking him and giving credit. It's about as official as it gets how this will go down in history books.

Best guess is that Trump constantly threatening and mocking North Korea caused them to rapidly expand their nuclear program. Too rapidly in fact, as they wound up fucking everything up by accidentally destroying their test site and burying it under a mountain of rubble. With that plan now gone, Kim Jong Un's demeanor completely changed and suddenly he wants peace. So if we just kept our usual status quo instead of having an orange manchild shitposting on Twitter, the North probably would have continued testing at their older, slower pace.

Might have to wait for the real reason when South Korea decides to explain it, but that is what I think happened.

What if the meeting happens, Korea is at peace and unified, and then Moon and Un go on the mic and say "And we want to thank Trump for making this all possible!" Then they both pull out MAGA hats and embrace each other and start making out while the crowd starts chanting "Can't stump the Trump!"

That would be funny >_>

This. I'm a harsh critic of Trump, didn't vote for him, don't like the guy even remotely, but I'm willing to give credit if South Korea is saying to do so.

I genuinely don't understand what Trump could possibly have done,

Sanctions
Told China to enforce sanctions (they listened)
Got friendly with President Moon
Sent CIA director to NK to discuss peace treaty
Threaten military action against NK

And all the behind-the-scenes stuff we don't know about. Finally, a president who has a pair.


All of this. Funny how liberals never asked "what did he do to deserve this recognition?" when Obama was given a Nobel Peace Prize.

Any Obama supporter who's upset about Trump receiving credit for this is a massive hypocrite.

I mean again, the logical conclusion is that Trump himself is too incompetent and lacking in basic diplomatic skills to have influenced this outcome, meanwhile either diplomats from America without Trump, or people from SK and China played him as the enemy to NK. It's a surprising outcome, but I don't see how it can be credited to Trump when he's got a history of being terrible with people and acts crazy. This is tracing back well before his election.

Or, since SK's foreign minister credited Trump, the logical conclusion is that Trump actually does deserve some of the credit.

Liberals have no problem with taking any negative statement about Trump by foreign leaders are face value and running with it. But when one gives Trump props? They can't handle it and engage in mental gymnastics to discredit Trump.

Well since Trump denied credit on Fox and Friends, laughably credited Pompeo and said he wasn't supposed to do it, and SK wants to maintain friendship with the US, and even more so if the inside joke between these guys is Trump is the fall guy, there clearly is no harm in SK crediting Trump for this. It bolsters relations.

I mean, I just don't see Trump having done this.

That was only because he's modest. He does deserve some of the credit.

There's also the rather uncertain issue of our involvement with NK politics. Historically NK has been China's problem. I doubt though that we would have changed our stance on that.

I absolutely despise Trump but I do feel he had a positive play in this. I think China was forced to leash their dog when they saw that Trump would infact destroy NK if pushed. In the past NK would escalate tensions and get there way because noone wanted to do anything.Trump is indeed dumb enough to risk one of our best allies if any strike were to happen like in the past.

I am not saying Trump did it because it was a smart play. I believe he raised the tension enough that NK was no longer able to bluff their way out of it and forced to negotiate. Kim chose to stay in power rather then fight and lose.

What's funny is that usual suspects only look at the surface of things like Twitter and the news media, but has no idea what goes on behind close doors.

Trump has been working on this for months and no one knows about it except for a small group of people. Remember what Trump said during the debates: "You're Telling the Enemy Everything"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKuSMv0rdTU" data-time="


Trump is a lot smart than people give him credit for. He doesn't tell the enemy everything or tell you everything he's going to do.

Yes he did. He also let them know in advance that we were going to bomb them. He has in order for the Russians to leave the facilities so we don't risk getting into a war with Russia if Russian soldiers are killed.

China's close relationship to Trump and his family, despite all his fake outrage bullshit about them being "A currency manipulator", played into this much more than his saber rattling on Twitter. And this gives China, NK, and SK everything they want while Trump gets to pretend he alone ended the situation and all his idiot rubes will lap it up.

But hey, keep trusting the Kim family, because they've totally never gone back on and played the US before
