1. The Art of

the Miscue (dressed up as a deal).

[unblock]

4. the art of capitulation.

[Thomas Hurt]

2. propaganda effort on Trump's part to bump approval rating before midterms...

and to distract as usual.

He is going to end the war games?
He is going to end the sanctions?
We are safe?
NK has already de nuked? ridiculous
They will de nuke cuz the amoral pig says so?

The Trump admin aren't even on the same page. Trump is saying one thing, Pence another.

Kim and Trump are running concurrent propaganda campaigns.

Lieu is right there is an agreement to maybe perhaps talk further about an agreement.

3. Trump escalated the crisis.

I was thinking that same thing earlier. Lieu is right.

5. Spot on

6. Publicity stunts make for great TV

But are awful for US policy.

Donnie thinks this is a TV show.

Let's cancel it.

GOTV!!!!

7. He escalated, then de-escalated? Too many words!

Let's get back to bashing Hillary and/or Bernie...

Are we talking about a Trump pre nup here?

10. Shart of the Deal again

What a maroon.

[calimary]

14. I like that one! A LOT!

"The Shart of the Deal"!

I bet Tony Schwartz would agree with that, too. He's The Donald's ghostwriter on that one (which, as he's already said, means HE actually did all the actual writing, after spending time with trump and making lots of observations and taking tons of notes). Schwartz is no fan.

11. How long before...

...we find out they pulled all this for a PR stunt from the start, and to get all military excercise's stopped for putin, and to make trump look good. Trump escalated tensions , and threatened , and did all this with fear rhetoric all to pull off this stunt? They lied about the meeting being canceled. Used it for propaganda . He changed his wording to their propaganda talking points . This was a give away to Kim in exchange for trump business sweetheart deals. He even let it slip whats coming soon. Announcements his businesses will be developing somewhere in NK . That's what this was all about. He still can launch nuclear weapons at us as much as he could 6 months ago, and the threat hasn't been reduced at all, he's just promoting, and using BS to do it with now. BS diplomacy is what we're seeing from trump, that's all.

13. Yup - Trump and Kim are on the same payroll.

...and reading the same script.
