So, how all these Trump-haters comment on the latest brilliant move in Donald's diplomacy, the meeting of Prince Charming with Kim?

Kim was much slimmer and a lot more beautiful than I remembered...

If this is asking what we personally think, I think Trump got irritated at the perception that Kim has considerable geopolitical/diplomatic leverage over the admin at the moment, and that Trump was buying into it too effusively.

I guess he wanted to convey his brand "toughness" by pulling back - well, look at the White House's statement on the matter, it's awkwardly funny:



The more recent news on preparations, it's what, an agnostic image, will-he-won't-he. I'm guessing it takes place in the end because Trump wants it, but pulled this little stunt all for the sake of what he imagines is a tough image.

Hopefully he doesn't abandon the peninsula for a commemorative plaque bearing his likeness in Pyongyang. :P

The admin has been going at everybody from Syria to Canada half-drunk in the past couple of months, some sort of manic state. I can't tell if it's a concerted strategy, a distraction from domestic affairs, or Trump moving down his wishlist after purging or neutering the (((moderates))) around him.

It all becomes clear when you realize he has no plan and is merely using planks from a platform that was never supposed to be seriously used.

I think even Trump doesn't know what Trump himself will eventually do.

I used to bemoan Obama's reactive approach to foreign policy.

The current occupant is reactive on all fronts and seemingly affected with ADD.

[HopAlongBunny]

Well that makes sense.
The best way to get along in the world is to kick all your allies in the nuts:

Canada, the EU, Japan...etc. all seem content to ready appeals to the WTO and prepare retaliatory tariffs:

Right now it's a "paper war"; nothing has been implemented...yet. It all seems to rest on the first mover.

The funny thing is that his most fanatic supporters are proud of it. They will quote a WWII general and say that unpredictability is a great tactic, because your enemy will never anticipate your next move. 3d chess and all that...

Do you get exposure from Trump fans in Greece, or direct to the source?

His core supporters like it a lot. They would prefer a politician who told her/his opponent to go fuck themselves. They do not want ANYTHING that seems like 'politics as usual.' They like hardball tactics in negotiation. They want people they view as enemies treated as such. Many of them live, intellectually, in very black/white worlds.

As Monty and others have suggested before this, the Trump phenomenon is, in many ways, a product of the political 'gaming' that has characterized our system for half a century or more.


I wonder how long it will be before they realize that Trump, on any number of levels, is gaming them...

So Trump would make a superb war general? I believe there are plenty of conflicts around the world where the US takes part. Sending him to the front line would be an option. He could succeed in getting himself killed quickly.
