Trump makes history crossing into North Korea

President Trump made history by crossing the border that divides North and South Korea on Sunday.

Less than two days after Trump extended an invitation over Twitter, the president shared a handshake with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the Korean demilitarized zone in what was an unprecedented display of goodwill between the United States and North Korea.

“Stepping across that line was a great honor," Trump said after crossing back into South Korea.

Multiple sitting presidents have visited a U.S. observation post overlooking the DMZ over the years, but Trump is the first to meet a North Korean ruler there, let alone cross the demarcation line.

Upon coming face-to-face with Trump, Kim said to Trump, “Good to see you again." He added that he would have “never expected” to see the president “at this place."

After sharing the handshake and speaking with Kim, Trump gestured to allow Trump to cross the physical demarcation line. Trump then crossed, took a few steps with Kim, shared another handshake and exchanged some more words, then crossed back into South Korea with Kim. They continued to speak and walked into a conference hall, spoke with press, and entered into a meeting.

Out of morbid curiosity I checked PMSNBC last night, and they had the predictable commentary on how terrible this was to do, and tears were being shed about how irresponsible Trump is.

The only point of this malarkey was to keep cameras focused on him.

I couldn't say whether it was good or bad.  It just was. Stepping foot in NK doesn't change that he is a brutal dictator.  Proof is in the pudding of real Foreign Policy negotiations.

Of course. There are those who couldn't bring themselves to acknowledge good news where Trump is concerned if doing so would prolong their life.

President Donald J. Trump made history period.  Of course the DEMS would have you believe it's a bad thing.  Diplomacy?  Of course. I think DJT accomplished one thing. Giving Kim the attention and recognition he's wanted.  Trump acknowledged that he exists and he has broadened the lines of communication between the two.  I see that as a positive.

No it doesn't change the fact that he's a brutal dictator.  No one is going to change who Kim is with negotiations.  That's just like saying you can change a serial killer's mindset by talking with him a few times.  Not going to happen.  With that being said, is their truly any negotiating with a brutal dictator?

The fact still remains that President Trump is not shutting him out and blowing him off as an irrelevant leader and threat.  He has opened and kept open the lines of communication open which is a good thing; keep your enemies even closer.

I applaud President Trump on this and I think once again he has done well on the foreign front.

You could be right.  Or it may serve to validate Kim Jung Un.  I don't think that the evil actions of this brutal dictatorship deserve validation.  It is history.  Whether it serves to make positive changes within NK and with relation to the US we will see.

A Federal Judge could rule that Trump's 'border crossing' is Treason or something.

southpaw @nycsouthpaw

He took something that with any other president would have been reserved to symbolize a diplomatic breakthrough, emptied it of that meaning, and did it for essentially nothing of substance, yet he still gets graded on—and given high marks for—“sheer performance.”

I see it as keeping the lines of communication open and hopefully keeping the mad little fat boy in check.
