Experts: POTUS Trump’s ‘no deal’ summit with Kim Jong-un was a master stroke
The National Sentinel, Feb 28, 2019, Jon Dougherty

Before he left for the summit, Dems and their media allies were claiming that because of the alleged political fallout over the conspicuously-timed Michael Cohen hearings in the House, the president would essentially ‘give away the store’ — sell out our country for a deal, any deal, just to get the ‘Cohen mess’ off the front pages. 

But now that the president has exited the summit without signing any deals at all, proclaiming that the time just isn’t right yet and that Kim was asking too much (a complete end to all U.S. sanctions in exchange for partial denuclearization), he’s a boob, an oaf, and an amateur who has no ‘art of the deal’ and is in over his head.

“It was about the sanctions,” POTUS told reporters as he prepared to leave Vietnam (after, by the way, signing $20 billion worth of deals with Vietnamese President Nguyen Phu Trong for Vietnamese airlines to buy Boeing jets). “Basically, they wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety, and we couldn’t do that. They were willing to denuke a large portion of the areas that we wanted, but we couldn’t give up all of the sanctions for that.  “I’d much rather do it right than do it fast,” the president added, echoing his remarks from earlier in the day when he insisted that “speed” was not his focus.

[...]

That very reasoned and measured response only elicited hoots and howls from the Left-wing establishment commentariat. But real North Korean experts believe the president handled himself — and the entire negotiating process — masterfully.

“The Taliban and the Iranians can also take away lessons from this episode. Trump is not the rube his critics suggest. Trump is not Obama. He won’t cut a deal just so he can say he cut a deal. In sending Kim a message, he sent them a message as well,” writes James Jay Carafano, vice president of foreign and defense policy studies The Heritage Foundation.

In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Ok. I'll step up to the plate.  Yes, I think his meeting with the little Fat Man from N. Korea was a positive.  He did his job well.  The Michael Cohen saga was/is indeed another smear campaign from the left.  It was done while he was out of the country and behind his back.  That's a given and I don't see how anyone in here could deny that.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Certain briefers...

I'll buy the thesis of this essay. Nothing we've done with NK has worked in the past. I think Trump has a pretty good shot at actually accomplishing something this time. He may even score a twofer if China is taking note.
