    Trump is the biggest loser for the US on the world stage in 75 years.

    You talk radio types think bluster and chest beating is leadership. What a pathetic standard. Particularly when it’s obvious to anyone with a brain that Kim, Vlad, and Xi are laughing at Trump.

    Just before Trump’s idiotic trip to Hanoi, Kim took the train to Moscow to meet with the Russians. No doubt, Putin briefed Kim on how easy it is to push Trump around.

    LOL, y’all want us to bend over for other countries and flake out when Trump doesn’t.

    Maybe in some imaginary world of yours, where Trump is a different person than the loser he actually is, he doesn’t flake out.

    But so far, in the real world, he has flaked out over the Chinese, the Russians, and is now kissing Kim Jung Un’s backside.

    Denial is not a river in Egypt.

    And it doesn’t work for you either,

    Difference is twofold. First these were short range missles not ICBMs that the right was "going ape over". Secondly Trump is in the middle of negotiations with NK and these test are part of that. Overreaction by Trump would be counterproductive.

    "Experts say the latest tests are a tactical move by North Korea to increase pressure for negotiations to resume after Trump and Kim abruptly ended their summit in Hanoi in February. Yet the outcomes of such talks remain uncertain."

    Russia and China ignored sanctions from the start. NK is a client state of theirs especially China. Did you not know this?

    North Korea only test-fired short-range projectiles, instead of ballistic missiles it promised to abandon. Compared to ballistic missiles, these short-range projectiles are stubs which can only cover targets within the peninsula, which was why the tests were insignificant.

    They ignored sanctions up to a point. But once the first Trump pageant in Singapore produced nothing other than b roll for Fox Noise, they knew that they could act with impunity. Putin already knew Trump would do nothing (as he has), the Chinese only suspected it. At that point, they were still giddy over the foreign policy triumph that Trump had handed them on a silver platter in return for nothing.

    They know it now.

    I know that. Trump does not. And folks like you deny it most of the time.

    No, the country is not "rocking and rolling". Yes, the economy is doing well, the rich are getting richer but the poor are getting poorer. Less people have health care (1 million less), the debt keeps going up (funny how you don't care about that anymore), there aren't enough skilled workers to fill jobs that are there (yes, let's keep cutting from education but bring prayer back because thoughts and prayers work so well to solve problems). Housing costs have gone WAY up. Infrastructure is crumbling and numb nuts walked out of a meeting about it but had no interest in a deal on it anyway).
    This thread is about N Korea giving us the middle finger but don't worry, we can always come up with an excuse to go back to the ME. Trump went to Jared on that one.
    Yeah, things are great.
    When the bubble bursts it's going to be something to watch when Trump HAS to blame someone.

    Really, they've been screwing us? Amazing we have done so well. When will you learn that just because Trump says we're getting screwed, it's just BS.
    Tell me, who got screwed with the wall......taxpayers or Mexico? Do you think we would get more cooperation from Mexico if Trump didn't shoot his mouth off all the time.

    China and Russia have always acted with impunity in NK. Ever hear of the Korean war and their role in it? We we're trouncing NK in their attempt to take over SK and MacArthur had them on the ropes until China sent in a hundred thousand troops.

    I know, losing a half trillion to China a year is AOK with TDS sufferers.

    So you're saying that while the economy is doing well, it would/could be SO much better and Trump is just the guy to do it. All evidence to the contrary.

    So another violent leftists wants us to invade North Korea. It really is amazing. The second Trump took office the left is the greatest ally of the military industrial complex. McCarthy would be so proud.

    As a suggestion, you would probably do better confining your verbal attacks to Trump. Attacking many of the readers of this forum can only get in the way of your persuading anybody of anything.

    I disagree with Trump's approach. I understand what he is doing and why but I don't think he is wearing rose colored glasses when he looks at Kim. I think we have only two options - allow NK or have its nukes and missiles or attack them militarily. Trump thinks there is another way. I see no evidence of that.

    Trump kowtowing to Un is a disgrace.
    When even a crackpot like Bolton is speaking out, Trump's bum kissers should be questioning Trump's and Un's mutual bum kissing.
