MSM scramble to find reasons to ridicule Trump's North Korea triumph
By Thomas Lifson

If you expected the media to hail North Korea's urgent request for talks –from the position of supplicant – you have underestimated the force of Trump Derangement Syndrome.  Only one mainstream media figure came close to acknowledging the potential for greatness.  Poor Erin Burnett of CNN apparently didn't get the message before going on air and acknowledging the upside potential of this development.

Lawrence Bonk of the Media Research Center:

    CNN's Erin Burnett had some startling words for the president, should he pull off denuclearizing the country.

    Burnett actually said that he would go down as a "great president" if his talks with Jong Un go well.

    Here is the full quote.

    "Just an extraordinary evening and, of course, opening the door to the big question," she said. "If President Trump could truly solve this problem, that would be going down as a great president. There is no getting around that."

It's not a triumph yet.  The meeting has yet to take place.

Equating Trump to Kim. A few days ago it was equating Trump to Putin: http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,306858.0/topicseen.html.

 In that thread I noted this from the article: "The dossier had infuriated both Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump by divulging allegedly corrupt dealings between them. “You’ve got oligarchs running both superpowers,” the friend said. “And, incredibly, they both hate this same guy.”"

Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior.  North Korea's Kim will never give up his nukes.  His entire regime is built on those nukes, with hatred of American.  A documentary made talking to the North Korean people, shows their reason for living is to hate America.  They think and say that America attacked them and buried alive millions of their people.  They believe this. Their post cards for sale are hate America cards.  Their greatest pride are those rockets going off.

If Kim got rid of those rockets, he would be gone, too.  They have made agreements with American presidents before, and then kept on making rockets.  Kim has a reason for this and it is not to give up their nuke rockets.

Just like Iran.  Last I heard that country's nuke program was still going on.  These talks and any agreements that spring from them have always been a waste of time and effort.

What's the media narrative for today? Hmmmm...hmm hmm hmmmmm. Let's shuffle some words around, real clever and lawyer like, and make ourselves sound very intellectual.

What a brilliant triumph!  I'll drink to that!

Well, as long as we are shuffling words, make sure the word "furious" always lands on top.

True, and Li'l Kim may give up nothing. I think in the long run he'll do whatever China tells him to do.

Nevertheless, it's fun to watch the leftists try to explain why the prospect of a more peaceful relationship with NK is such a bad thing. Gee, it's almost as though they wanted RocketMan to bomb us, or something.

[Concerned]

It seems like it would be a major win for Kim to simply appear on the same stage as the American President.  Just appearing on equal footing with the leader of the free world would probably be a major propaganda win for him at home and with the world audience.  After accomplishing that, it would be easy enough to refuse any concession and then just walk away from the table.  This scenario seems pretty darn likely to me.

Fun to watch #nevertrumps jump gleefully on every single potentially anti-Trump opportunity for failure. I know a site where one can watch.

If you're referring to my comment, I thought I was giving the president props.

Irrelevant.

Since Trump is on every side of every single issue, no matter what happens, his cheerleading squads will spin it as a 'win' for Trump.

Even if lil Kim uses him as a tool for his own purposes.

Beat me to it.

Even if no meeting takes place.

Then it will be a triumph that Trump did not meet with lil Kim.

It will be a triumph if Trump meets with lil Kim, it will be a triumph if Trump meets with someone else.

It will be a triumph just because it involves Trump.

That is all we need to know - on the other half of the ridiculous spin spectrum.

That was the previous truth, and the criticism leveled at leftists who wanted us to engage NK.  Now we have new leftists who call themselves conservative.

I don't remember when that stupid whore was President? Can you enlighten me.
