Yes it's a good idea to take the anti-orange specs off on this one.
If Van Jones can do it....

You can bet your house that some people would rather have no peaceful resolution whatsoever than one that succeeded because of Trump.
That's why the left remains an object of ridicule.

What are the odds his kids are at the meeting and a Trump hotel pops up in Pyongyang within a year.
I think it's more the US realising that South Korean sentiments might turn against them if they persist with their hawkish approach. If North and south reconcile without their involvement, US won't have a play in the region.
The north and south won't be reconciling since both have a completely different interpretation of reconciliation. The north views reconciliation as reunification with under the continued rule of the Kim family. The South views it as a coming together of a unified, democratic Korean state.
If he actually has the meeting, then fair play to him.
Regardless of whether anything comes of it, it's still a big step tbh and one you have to give him credit for.
Wonder if Donald will have a dig at Obama when he receives his Nobel Prize.
"I actually did something for it, you know? Bigly!"
I find it hard to believe that after investing so much money, effort, time and prestige on the development of nukes Kim will now agree to anything that diminshes his power. Nor can I see Trump offering anything that will conciliate NK. Maybe they'll both come away saying "I tried but the other guy..."
In other words, I smell a rat.
The cynical part of me is wondering if this is North Korea’s way of planning to humiliate Trump.
They know he pussied out of visiting the DMZ last year. I can see Kim insisting that negotiations take place in North Korea (when was the last time he actually left NK?!) and in that case there’s no way Trump would go.
So you’ll have a situation where Kim ridicules Trump for missing a chance to de-escalate tension by joining him for face to face negotitations and Trump turns into a child again by saying Rocket Man is too stupid to travel to a neutral venue.
I hope they televise the handshake.
I'm in Kim's corner on this one. I want him to say something about Trumps tiny hands, ask him about pornstar fecking, see if he'll sell him Ivanka...shit like that.
That looks like a win-win situation for Kim. Could Trump sell that as a victory ?Kim could agree to freeze his program with the knowledge that he is already a nuclear power and has a certain amount of nukes already developed and ready to deploy, so a freeze would only prohibit him from further development. He would then have the threat of further development in his back pocket if things don't go his way. On the brighter side, he would benefit tremendously if sanctions are lifted and NK can do a bit more trade with other countries.
From Trump's perspective, he is so desperate for a political win that he will be happy to put any deal together to make himself look competent to domestic constituents.
