The funniest/saddest (in 2019 those are pretty much the same emotion at this point) thing was back before the election when I though Trump winning was pretty much impossible I joked that in 6 months Donald Trump was going to stare a reporter straight in the eye and with a straight face claim in all sincerity he never ran for President, because if he had he would have won in a landslide.

Trump compliments Kim Jong Un for growing up in a wealthy, powerful family and not being "messed up"

Reminder: Kim has had babies torn apart by dogs.

I hadn't heard about the babies/dogs thing. I had heard the story about how Kim had an uncle killed by dogs, however, that appears to have been a fake story. (Perhaps one of the cases where the label 'fake news' is appropriate.)

On the other hand, there does appear to be reports with a little more credibility that Kim has had people executed by:
- Flame Thrower
- Mortars/anti-aircraft guns
- Machine gun firing squads

They will say it's wonderful they're talking and relations are improving.
Because who needs principles or consistency.
 
never though I would see so many people so angry at the possibility of peace on the Korean Peninsula.

Trump Derangement Syndrome... hoo boy...

Trump going to advance peace on the peninsula is like Gary Busey advancing peace on the peninsula. The innocuous statements are somehow even more alarming.

How much prep do you think Trump did for this meeting?

There is absolutely zero possibility of "peace on the Korean peninsula" in the current political climate, i.e. so long as Kim continues to work toward developing nuclear tipped ICBM's capable of threatening the US and other countries.

There is less than zero possibility of Stubby McBonespurs brokering any kind of a deal with Kim. What he will most likely do is, at best, gain assurances from Kim that Kim will forget he ever gave the moment he leaves to return to Pyongyang, and at worst, give away the store!

Der Trumpenführer's trip to Vietnam is nothing more than a vain attempt to big himself up.

Trump is quite simply out of his mind. Absolutely in another universe. Completely in over his head, way way over. The damage this guy is doing is off the charts bad.

Let's see the "base" spin this one. Kim Jong Un, that wonderful guy. :(

Oh please, Trump has been praising Kim Jong Un for a long time, it never bothered them before.

Kim is clearly the kind of leader Trump respects and that has been clear for ages.

From before the election

"“You’ve got to give him credit. How many young guys - he was like 26 or 25 when his father died - take over these tough generals, and all of a sudden... he goes in, he takes over, he’s the boss,” said Mr Trump, known for his own less than subtle style of leadership in the American version of The Apprentice"

So really what is so remarkable about this that it would cost him? Republicans at least accept his love of brutal dictators and always have.

The way the Trump Worshipper have gone from yelling for Kim to be nuked for considering him some kind of great national leader is right out of "!984".
To be fair, you also have a lot of really silly ideas on the Korean Peninsula from the left as well. They are big on immdieate reunification of the peninsula. That a peaceful merge of a fairly democratic nation with a totalitarian dictatorhip might be really, really, hard seems to pass them by.
 
Soon as trump got elected, Leftists became super hawk neo-cons.

Oh he is pulling troops out of Syria! Shock horror!

Oh he is actually trying to broker a peace deal in Korea. BOO! HISS!

Winding up Afghanistan? No!

Looks at all the leftists panting for him to fail at bringing peace.

Oh well, TDS is a fatal disease.

Go MR. PRESIDENT!
