Trump wins. Media loses.

Does anyone really believe President Trump will back off the agreement with North Korea’s head Kim Jung-un?   He’s just going to let them get away from what has been talked about. Only an ignoramus would believe that.  Listening to the media complain about what is missing in the deal is folly.  It’s like if a team does not score a run(s) in the first inning than that team has failed.  President Trump has done something no other President has come near to doing. And he did it in just 500 days.  He sat down with the head of North Korea’s head honcho to cut a deal.  It’s a beginning.  Not a finished product.  He signed a deal that North Korea will denuclearize in exchange for protection of his country.  Plus modernization of his country.

First the Democrat’s complain that Trump is too tough on North Korea and will start a war.  Now they are complaining he has been too easy.   Trump could walk on water and the Democrats would say…yeah but he can’t swim.  The media and the Democrats will do anything to keep our President from success.  It’s all about getting rid of him.

Says South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham, “This President is not going to let the North Korean’s run out the clock.”  Meaning they will stall until Trump is out of office and meanwhile gain concessions.  President Trump Knows that.  If he was smart enough to get Kim asking to bring back the “summit” after Trump cancelled the meeting, he is smart enough to make North Korea live up to agreements.  What the media is criticizing in this agreement is it did not include this or it did not include that.  They want the game to be over while it’s still in its infancy.

The key to remember in all the media criticism is all they are pronouncing is CONJECTURE.   Nobody truly knows the outcome of it all. However, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is one smart guy.  He mostly put this together with much help from U.N Ambassador Nikki Haley working with China and Russia.  Add hawkish John Bolton at the table with Pompeo and we have a combination that will not be conned like previous Presidents.  If they don’t like what they hear and see, Trump will take action.  He deliberately gave Kim a concession on stopping military exercise’s with South Korea to see if they will reciprocate.

On the personal side watching Trump with Jung it appeared the President knew Jung was “out of his element.”   As the leader said…”This all seems like it is out of a science fiction movie.”  Trump was watching over Jung, almost paternal, to make sure he did not embarrass himself.  Plus, he did something unique and affective. Towards the end of their meeting, President Trump took out an iPad and showed a short video made on his behalf laying the opportunities that could come from an agreement to eliminate his nuclear arsenal.  “Two men, two leaders, one destiny” “A new world can begin today. One of friendship, respect and goodwill.”  It was also played for about eight members of the Korean delegation. Spoken in Korean naturally. Trump said “I think he loved it.”   Also showed him the impressive Presidential limousine. Truly impactful stuff for a man isolated from the world.

This is remarkably smart.  Now we wait for negotiations to begin.  One thing for certain.  People living on the west coast tonight can sleep easier. President Trump did something nobody thought he could do.  It’s called leadership.   And he has it in spades.
