Why? So Putin can make all of his decisions?

Trump won't prepare for the NK summit because Hillary did that stuff and lost the election.

Well, duh. It's not like he would have anything to do with any negotiations or policy decisions. It's a populist distraction. And Trump really doesn't need to prepare for populist distractions (and Hillary, too, was super cringe with her trying to follow the script and act human)

What will happen if he actually sits down?
Trump has never actually had to deal with a leader with completely different goals, he never speaks to ther Iranians himself etc. and even China has a few common interests with the US

My prediction is that NK manages to get keep their nukes and to kick out the yankees out of South Korea, but the democrats oppose him violently on this issue and get the rest of the Republicans to veto the peace deal somehow.

Yes, but both China and NK know how to work Trump: Flatter his ego, then flatter his pocketbook.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump comes away from this meeting with nothing but kind words for Kim and a deal to turn the Ryugyong Hotel into a Trump property.

Trump won't do anything, and North Korea isn't as rich or savy as to bribe him or his advisers. He would treat it as a way to boost his image, and North Korea would treat it as his PR in exchange of economic boost/forgetting about the nukes.

Trump is dumb enough to sign a peace treaty with Kim, but, as you said, Congress will nix it because they aren't complete idiots. However, I do think it will take a long time since the GOP is deathly scared to oppose Trump on anything. They might even try to stall it until after midterms, hoping to throw it to the Democrats to save their own skin.

At that point nobody is going to give a shit about Korea anymore.

Thing is at that point, SK will ratify any peace treaty. Even if the US backed out, Korea will be rid of the eternal yank.

It is the only thing of two he ismpolled positively for, and it is his highest.

True. The tariff damage will be in full effect by midterms.

I'm talking about when the midterms come around friendo.

bbc.com/news/technology-44412025
If this passes, the EU will shatter like glass and the Americans and Russians will be able to dive their dicks deep into the EU. Trump will be able to win the tariff war because the EU is about as stupid as he is, but they don't have a massive army and clout backing them up.

Implying American imperialism won't succeed at overpowering their more minor allies like Canada or Mexico, rejuvenating itself with colonialism against them. They could only win if they do a united front, with themselves and at least either the EU or China, which won't happen.

They wouldn’t do any other

Wtf I like Trump now

This makes no sense. Why not just deport them?

Good on them

Good

THere more likely to veto it after midterms. Most Americas don’t really care that much about North Korea, but want some sort of peace deal because it feals good.

The tariff will help Americas, especially in the rust belt that Turmp need to win. Manufacturing jobs will move back to the Midwest. Consumer goods will become more expensive, and this will harm big cities like LA and NYC, but those areas are solidly democrat so Trump doesn’t care about them.

tldr

slave labor

They might "come back" but not to the midwest, which is pretty ironic all things considered.

I don't think so. If you're buying raw materials from overseas, you're going to be slammed with the tariff as well. Smaller refiners and manufacturers are going to go out of business trying to keep up, which means job losses.

This. The Midwest has been suffering a "brain drain" for decades, to the point they have to beg college graduates to stay there.

In reality, the jobs are going to go straight to the already successful cities who maintain a constant influx of skilled labor. The rural areas are just going to get farm foreclosures.

certainly not


probably nothing, the North Koreans don't trust the US and they certainly don't trust Trump especially now that's he even doubled back on the Iran thing and talking about a new nuclear deal with them. Even more so since the US has insane ideas like the North Koreans handing over all nuclear weapons with no strings attached but good will

On top of that his admin is staffed with people who will sabotage it and the NK's know it.
at best we'll get fancy words and that's it


the only people who stay here are those who can't afford to leave or those with family ties that hold them back

Why not?

cuz

none of trump's voters in the midwest are qualified for modern manufacturing jobs

still cheaper to import materials and goods despite tariffs, plus it's unlikely the tariffs will stand up in a WTO case that's going to be brought against the US
even if we make the assumption that manufacturing moves back to the US, it'd go to the east and west coasts, maybe texas as well, certainly not the center of the US

They could still clean the toilets at a factory. Any job is better than no job.

They already have shitty service jobs. That's the problem.

Full time?

Supply and demand is like econ 101. Where's the downside for Americans? They honestly can't price gouge us much more than they already are. We're talking about the dollar tree shoppers.

Critically support the POTUS against Atlanticist Imperialism
Didn't they already do that? I thought the individual mandate had been included in the tax cut? Who seriously cares about keeping the dismemberd remains of ObamaCare though? Keeping the thing about non-discrimination of those with pre-existing conditions is good but everything is basically just creating loopholes and boureacracy for porkies to pork each other >implying it was ever anything else

Great timing. I'm sure doing this while he's under investigation by Mueller doesn't make him look compromised to his diehard zealot base.

I don't know what they are concerned about. The people this hits hardest don't generally vote.

Ya Trump doesn't need to do anything besides use the domestic intelligence agencies to win elections anymore. He doesn't need to be helpful or useful. People who thought this guy would be anything less than an usher of ANCAP authoritarianism and hegemonic permanence have no foresight. Trump will win in 2020 easily. Then his top shills will win in 2024, 2028 and 2032. I don't expect the soft shtick liberal/demSoc/progressive approach until after 2050. Get used to him and regular amounts of this.


Trump's number 1 source of online sock account support. The Israelis have been gunning down Palestinians since you were in diapers.

And they'd like to keep it that way instead of inventing a new type of single issue voter who will vote D.

The handout approach is the opposite of the tariff approach though.

That's the only way you can get a major factory to open up in middle america. It's pure shit out there. Maoism is probably the only way it could get any better, but for that to work you would have to severely weaken the local police forces out there which isn't happening any time soon.

They don't have to really worry about Dem voters right now. The dems are running """""electable""""" candidates for the 2018 Midterms again. The blue wave is cancelled as is evident from super tuesday results. The R party has obtained impunity.

I'm so disappointed, because I had hope Dem voters would go the Corbyn route.

Dem voters have almost no say in who gets put up or what issues the party promotes. The democratic party is basically a non-profit corporation. It cannot be changed from the outside or by voting.

For a state government yeah. The fed can vaporize chinks from orbit if they feel so inclined.

I find that heartbreaking, because that means my 3rd party activism will surely give Trump and Republicans the edge.

It's soul crushing to be a leftist in America.

The difference with UK lab and the dems is that the former was founded as a proletarian party, and until 1983 had a strong socialist element. Dems is just a liberal party.
Although there is one interesting thing, in an LA district the race in november is between a dem and a green. If a green gets to congress that will be entertaining.

They will but not in the way people want.

Yeah, we had something similar to that happen in my state. Shit turned into a fucking disaster, with millions of dollars disappearing into GOP pockets.


Medicare and Social Security are good socialism and are only for hard workers like the Boomers. Everyone else gets BOOTSTRAPS.

We did it in the 60’s and 70’s we can do it now. Pushing levers donsen’t require education.

This will incentives mining in America, a country with very large mineral reserves.

All you have to do to work in a factory is push leaves. Most factory worker’s globally are illiterate. Just look at Shenzhen.

Reminder that supporting Trump in his quest to topple American hegemony is the true leftist stance. Those who want Trump gone get out.

Just fyi the areas with the highest amounts of suicide tend to be white, upper class areas like Palo Alto. Any place that has a school shooting is likely to have had an abnormally large amount of suicides.

This is what happens to the bourgeoisie over time: they become workaholics whose children learn to hate everything when they can't meet their insane standards.
