As of this moment there is evidence that The Norks have never shut down their nuclear research and are threatening to resume testing. Trump must be hurt to be jilted like this by his “lover”.
It's so predictable the way you lefties can take reality and weave it into a totally false, politically motivated fiction story, anything to belittle a positive step taken by President Trump rather than give him credit for doing something his Democrat predecessors had neither the cojones nor the smarts to do.
You also tend to plant the seeds of looking foolish or even stupid later by belittling some of Trump's works in progress before they reach the "done deal" stage, as in the border wall, trade negotiations with China and the still in their early stages denuclearization talks with Mr. Un.
In the latter case, President Trump walked out of the meeting because Un tried insisting that the economic sanctions on NK be lifted before any definitive progress had been made on the denuclearization front. The sanctions will continue to be painful and eventually Little Rocketman will return to the table.
The same thing happened with China.
Trump understands that the United States is the single largest consumer of imported goods on Earth, that other countries, especially China, need our business more than we need theirs.
We were hurting the Chinese economy badly on the so-called "tariff war," and Xi went to Trump during the Argentina summit and asked him to come back to the bargaining table -- at the same time extending a good faith offer to immediately start buying large quantities of U.S. soybeans and other products.
I wonder why the mainstream media and the Democrats "didn't seem to notice" this little interaction, or if they did, made a point of playing it down.
Face it: you can continue ignoring or belittling the great, positive things President Trump has been bringing about, but when you make a point of not being candid about a single one of his accomplishments, you begin to look less like reasonable human beings and more like a coven of stupid asses.
