"But the great flaw in the president's approach is coming to the talks like he would a hotel negotiation in New York, with supreme confidence in his ability to win anyone over.
Trump's personalized approach, speaking of his "love" for Kim, means he is the first American president to sit down with a North Korean dictator. But successful summit meetings generally rely on the deals being precooked through arduous discussions by diplomats and experts, and the leaders coming in to bless the final product. Summits can fail — as happened with Reagan and Gorbachev — but you need intense preparation to have a shot at doing the deal.'
Trump is AN EMBARRASSING, DISGUSTING, VULGAR, STUPID, UNEDUCATED CAVEMAN
Christian Bennett
with each passing day, Trump's failures and stupidity become more and more obvious
Chase James
By the way, Cohen's public testimony on Wednesday wasn't the end of it. On Thursday, he had a closed door meeting where he told THE FULL STORY on many other crimes, and now they are preparing to impeach Trump.
Luke Martinez
You'll see….
I'd be surprised if they didn't impeach Trump in the next 2 years
Carter Nelson
Lol @ Trump's legendary incompetence
Mason Thompson
Trump's entire facade is crumbling exponentially
Nolan Lee
And yet they go into NO detail of how the summit was a failure? I'd say it can't be as bad as it was when Kim was threatening to nuke us all the time! But we all know who the real neo-cons are, mainstream media.
Jayden Jackson
perhaps YOU should go into detail about how it was a success
Julian Cook
>and why that's a bad thing
Jordan Reyes
I never said it was a success. It could have faulted, but at least attempts were made for peace. Thats what really counts. I'd rather have that then how shitty Trump treats Assad and some other leaders around the world. [Some of them deserve the shame, but others not so much.] Kim was a dick, but he was misunderstood as well. He just doesn't want his country to become another vassal state, and I can respect that.
I see where you're going with that, and I agree with you in many regards. I think the 'successful' aspect was TRYING, while I think the 'failed' aspect was having somebody as ill-prepared as The Caveman trying.
I agree that a departure from 'the norm' is a good thing.
I simply don't think that a brain-injured orangutan showboat is the right 'departure'
Trump is too set in his ways, he has too much of an ego and can be very stubborn. Plus he's actually working for Israel's interests more-so than the US and that obviously puts dampers in relations abroad with the more rebellious nations like NK.
However do not delude yourself that any other leader could have done any better. The establishment loves wars and cold wars, it boosts their MIC revenues which is all that matters to them.
Brody Evans
I think that was bothers me the most about The Caveman's absence of diplomacy experience and complete lack of negotiating skills is how he seems to be the ONLY HUMAN ON EARTH who actually thinks he's capable of diplomacy or negotiations….
it almost seems like he actually believes the contrived image of 'businessman' that he created.
THAT, and the 'little details' like walking out of failed summits and announcing that he 'believes Putin more than our intelligence agencies' or 'believes Kim isn't responsible for Otto Warmbier's death'
Robert Martinez
correction:
a loaf of bread has more negotiating experience
hell… the average 3rd grader can at least READ & WRITE
Samuel Fisher
...
William Carter
He's never been a politician so of-course he's new to political diplomacy. Do you really believe the average person could do any better? I kinda doubt it. Trump is like a lot of our previous presidents: a failure. He may have good intentions, but he's not much better than all the other failures we had as leaders.
Charles White
feel free to name EVEN ONE 'foreign US engagement' he has 'ended'
Hunter Powell
Trump has never been a businessman, either.
Samuel Rivera
The US government is desperate to maintain US petrodollar reserve hegemony. This is equivalent to maintaining the status of an expanding Empire which other countries are already pretty fed up with. I hate to break it to you but until we realize our failures, and admit we can't be sole Empire forever, deals are just going to continue to flop. Trump is one who believes America can maintain Empire forever…. and that is just not going to happen.
He runs over 400 companies, some have succeeded others have failed miserably. Thats the way business always is.
Noah Gonzalez
I learned A LOT from watching The Trump Dynasty biography….
I've always known that he was full of shit, but that biography explained exactly HOW FULL OF SHIT he really is.
Trump has never had a successful business venture. NEVER… his 'business' is being so drastically deep in debt that the investors and bankers keep him afloat.
He's never done a legitimate business deal in his life
Brandon Evans
WRONG!!! DEBT RUNS HIS COMPANIES
Dylan Davis
As it does with MOST companies today, sadly. We are an Empire based on DEBT. What do you possibly expect to happen?
I know one solution: cut out a lot of the bureaucracy and endless wars, and shut down the central banking system. Stop going into so much debt we can never pay off. Will there be a crash? YES. But as long as we bring back sound monetary policy we can re-industrialize and recover within a decade.
Isaiah Thompson
nope…. I know what you're trying to say, but no
completely different subject…… Trump's businesses are all built on LOSS intentional loss by design
research it
Thomas Nelson
I'm not going to sit here and argue it…. because now that Cohen has begun the eventual flow of results and info we have all been waiting to hear, the jigsaw puzzle pieces are all beginning to become seen
and only those defiant fools
will continue to pretend
that the emperor
is wearing clothes
because they can't admit they were fooled
Cooper Powell
Now, the Mueller investigation isn't even the pivotal point any longer.
The Southern District investigation means more THAT, and the fact that Congress is initiating their own investigation
Asher Reyes
HINT: it's not that hard to admit you were mistaken
Angel Martinez
So are you saying he makes his money off bankruptcies? Buying up others, consolidating the wealth and then liquidating the assets to his own advantage when the businesses go under? At least help explain what you mean by that.
Kevin Lewis
My mistake was NOT voting for Trump over a corrupt witch like Hillary. I already admitted my mistake was having trust that he could actually fix the rat-infested shithole we are already in. And I was mistaken about that.
Benjamin Williams
correction:
your mistake was voting PERIOD
Chase Parker
why take it from ME?
the information is out there, available to anybody
(he didn't know how to succeed at business, so he decided to succeed at failing, and maintain an appearance of success while in a continual lifelong downward spiral)
Angel Thomas
Congress won't do a damn thing, they never do. They are just as corrupted if not even more-so.
However, Mueller MAY have some dirt on him, maybe even the NY prosecutors too. Anyone that has their hands in NY real estate likely has connections with the mob, likely no way around it considering the level of corruption today.
Zachary Moore
I never said I thought anybody 'was going to do something', like indicted or impeach…
for me, simply having the truth put out in the open is good enough… And that process has already begun… After this point, his supporters are going to still insist he's a genius businessman and he has broken no laws… Of course they will…
And they're going to look like fools
Xavier Ramirez
I never mentioned anything about la cosa nostra… That's not the subject at hand…
I'm talking about an illiterate, stupid as shit, white trash grandson of a pimp, an obnoxious moron of a child, who grew up to be an even more obnoxious moron of an adult, who knows absolutely nothing about negotiation or building a successful business….
A moron somehow figured out that he was SO IN DEBT that his financiers were forced to keep him afloat, so he decided to push the envelope and start ripping everybody off with completely fraudulent businesses that were designed to fail from the word go…
I'm talking about a man who openly stated that he was 'a celebrity who played the role of a businessman' who had his attorney threatened his high school and college with legal action and criminal prosecution if they ever released is miserable grades…
A man who has lied about his worth from day one
An idiot
A vulgar disgusting stupid as shit illiterate monkey
Who is now 'playing the role of a president who is a successful businessman'
A WWE celebrity….
Who specifically targets the demographics of white trash wrestling fans
Kevin Fisher
you forgot to add "president of the United States" to that list lmao imagine being this flustered over muh potus
Alexander Baker
actually, I said Who is now 'playing the role of a president who is a successful businessman'
Logan Moore
And I'm not flustered over a president
I'm simply disgusted by STUPIDITY always have been always will be
Jackson Morgan
And I'm frustrated by the BLATANT LACK OF JUSTICE:
I'm actually honored to have this discussion with you. I would have never imagined that I would meet the world's most knowledgeable human in a shit hole like Zig Forums.
speaking of which:
it seems like you would be out there saving the world right now instead of sitting in here
……must be off for the weekend?…..
Anthony Ramirez
That dude is disgusting. He almost looks like a girl
Hunter Lewis
Lets all post about it even though we have no power to do anything with this information. Better than learning a trade or taking an extra shift or getting into a hobby…. right?
