View original postFancying Putin I can almost understand, but if Trump is so focused on his showmanship that he's actually convinced himself that the mafia leader who's family highjacked a country and its population is a guy to heap praise on.. That's terrifying. And I've been mostly enjoying the postmodern spectacle that he is.
View original postAs for lamenting it as a victory for Kim, I don't see why it should be a zero sum game with his gains being everyone else's loss. Time will tell I'm sure.
View original postWhere you were cordial to their face, and then away from them you spoke of only his sins...knowing full well that he would hear of you talking with him? And then later you go to work with that guy again and you still expect it to go well.

Sure. I mean I can imagine Trump is just doing what any businessman would to get a deal. I just think that the same kind of personality who pushes thru multiple bankruptcies with just bravado and nerve is also a guy capable of fanatically disregarding every fact that might stop him from his goal. Kim can be his huge win, a total world history changing act. Acknowledging NK's modern slavery and starvation might ruin his deal, so they become a non-issue. With that, you're already basically convinced yourself that the guy helping you win big must also be a good guy. He's helping you win, after all.
So. Trump and the little rocket man.

The point is, in a negotiation, it's about what things are worth to the other side - not to you.

As I said to Cannoli - it's not about what it costs the US, but about what it's worth to North Korea

The conservative never-Trumpers hate him as much, if not more, than the liberals.

Um, yes. Trump radically changed his position, so the media descriptions changed too?

The problem is the media posistion is always the same, Trump is wrong.

They're not contradictory - just a bit more subtle than having two binary options.

Here you are being too optimistic. Sadly for the US and the world.

I'd say it was mostly the Democrats who caused and are causing this divide.

If you think it's mostly Democrats, you're partisan enough to be a part of the problem.
