Trump and the nobel peace prize?

[Bigbailey12]

I don’t know why, but he didn’t blame Trump for their detention..

Obviously, he had a reason for saying that, some purpose, for doing so.

It certainly wasn’t meant to be complimentary towards Trump because acknowledging that something Trump did was actually a success doesn’t happen in this forum

 

[Bigbailey12]

Especially from him

People aren’t going to be persuaded to do so because you want them to—and by the way, you seem to forget Trump is a liar, a fraud, a lecher and a multiple bankrupt. To me what you want is like asking someone to praise a brigand, a scoundrel, and a lecher because he once did a someone a small kindness.

Even if the US secures the release of these three Americans, it doesn’t mean Trump did it all by himself.

I qualify as fringe left with my epaulettes:

LOL. Yeah, and I think I have fringes too, someplace. I'll have to check the junk drawer in the kitchen. (Whaaaat? Surely EVERYONE must have a junk drawer in the kitchen).

Thank you for posting this. Don't you just hate it when facts undermine a certain poster's rantings? My goodness, sometimes I wonder...but then again, I really don't have to. It's like you can predict it. Or something, lol.

No one is arguing the fact that Trump lies, to me that is a given. Acknowledging the progress that this adminstarion has made with North Korea is all but impossible for the posters on this forum is my point.

 

[Bigbailey12]

And yes I saw the typo for the grammar police

Kim knows he can't use nukes without being destroyed by them himself. They're prestige weapons. He built & threatened to use them to join the nuclear club and get a seat at the table which is exactly what Trump is giving him. Kim has Trump jumping through hoops.

In nuclear war everyone is on the front line. The old men & women who start & prosecute wars from a safe distance don't like that fact.

I view it slightly differently. If a guy has nukes . . . . give him a seat at the fucking table.

Spot on

And to hyper partisan people like you when Obama, a Democrat, wanted to do what Trump has you all considered it bad. A sign of weakness. You want us to give Trump credit? Perhaps you should first admit that your words and actions are hypocritical.

 

[Bigbailey12]

Unlike Obama, Trump is having actual success

 

[Redwyvre]

It might be a little early to give him the peace prize. There is a chance he could turn NK into a smoking hole and I doubt he'd get the peace prize for doing that.

women who start & prosecute wars

And who in the modern era would those women be, pray tell?

Tell that to Kim. He says Trump is trying to take credit where it isn't due.

lol... if you're going to quote me at least quote me in context:

Okay I'll play. Just off the top of my head:

Aung San Suu Kyi
Indira Gandhi
Jiang Qing
Golda Meir
Margaret Thatcher

Why give him a seat when he can't use his nuclear weapons? Ignore him.
