2020 Democrats Slam Trump’s Meet With Kim Jong Un As Mere Photo Op

Amazing - almost a whole day until the Trump haters running with hair on fire! PHOTO-OP!!

most of the world stunned.

Democratic presidential candidates dismissed President Donald Trump’s latest meeting with North Korea dictator Kim Jon-Un as a photo opportunity that conferred credibility to the rogue regime without securing any measurable commitments in return.

Trump became the first U.S. president to set foot in North Korea on Sunday, briefly crossing into the country where he shook hands and met with Kim, who he called “my friend.” The made-for-TV moment led to an agreement to restart talks on nuclear disarmament on the Korean peninsula, which broke down after Trump’s summits with Kim in Singapore last June and in Vietnam in February failed to yield substantial results.

Every day the "Democrats Slam Trump's" fill in the blank for what comes next.
As for the meeting being a "Mere Photo Op" time will tell.

This is exactly what is needed in Iran; diplomacy. Sanctions against North Korea ,with emerging competing and assertive super power twins Russia and China, are not working.

Amazing climbdown from the unstable "genius" who once bragged that the button on his desk is bigger.

For good or bad, the moment President Trump's feet walked on N. Korean soil it forever became MORE than a photo-op.

It's in their interest to downplay his effectiveness ,but I guess what they meant was , nothing came out of it even after the first contact which was also a first. What matters is not dining with Kim but results. To this extent I agree with Dems.

Of course we can't judge the actions less than a day later.

Garbage. We are sending more military to the Middle East. We are going to stop Iran's oil sales. Only Germany has the money to squander on the Iranian jihadi pyscopaths. Russian may get increased oil sales out of the shutdown of Iran.

North Korea is a puppet of China with some Russian military surplus stuff. Trump has been putting lots of pressure on communist China.

Son, welcome to 2019.

China is no pushover, nor is Russia. It's diplomacy or nothing

In football, you don't run every play to make a touchdown. You run plays to move the ball a little further down the field. That is what happened when Trump walked in to North Korea. He moved the ball a little further down the field. It was not a touchdown or a major diplomatic victory and it was not intended to be. But it was a positive move and a historic one.

Well, as many are pointing out it was nothing like Obama's great triumph over the communists when he went to Cuba and met with Raul.... That was okay but taking a step into North Korea for a short time, that was over the top to a Dem.

Personally i didn't mind when Obama opened the door to Cuba.

Unfortunately, it was a mere photo op. Nothing changed in Cuba. Communist dissidents have a cartoon out today of Raul saying that if the imperalists were now paying $16 an hour, then he Raul would raise Cuban wages to match at $16 a month.

That’s exactly what everyone said when he met Kim last time. Nothing came out of it. Tests resumed within weeks.

As I said, you can’t judge this gesture hours after the handshake so no intelligent being can celebrate this early.

That is what we said. And we can keep saying it because it is true each time. No breakthroughs will come from this one, either. But it is a positive thing, nonetheless. Tests resumed for a short time, but nothing like he was doing before and they fizzled out. It was test to see how we would respond.

No matter how good it could go, you would find something wrong with it because you hate Trump. Even if it something you would praise in a different president, you will condemn it in Trump. It is an irrational approach, but then you are a irrational Leftist, so we can expect nothing less than irrational, mindless hatred from you.

I praise and criticize in equal measure.

I said exiting JCPOA was a silly idea and US would regret it. It is happening.

I have questioned the arming of Saudis

On North Korea I can't tell if it is right or wrong but I applauded Trump for climbing down from his stupidty tower of ''bigger button' and actually realizing that diplomacy is the way to go.

Unlike white supremacists, I don't make excuses for Trump's foolishness, I just blame him without flinching
