Promoting Conflict is Good for ratings no doubt. But, I seem to remember the media in general just amazed that a president would be so careless with his words, and over twitter to boot. I don't think you can be a level headed person and think that what tRUmp said was anything less than extremely childish and harmful.

Diplomacy is fine, but you don't elevate rocket man and reward him with something that the regime has been trying to get (a meeting with a US president) since the 90's after they've been acting so belligerently. And you certainly don't do do it without getting some pretty major concessions first.

But it seems like smarter heads than tRUmps in the white house are prevailing as they are already trying to walk back this whole 'meeting' thing.

Says the person that constantly insults the Presidents name in a childlike manner.

Talking to a country leader that has threatened to attack the USA with nuclear weapons might be a good idea even though the USA can completely destroy said country.

I don't know about you, but I tend to hold the President of the United States to a much higher standard than I do rando people on the internet.

Kim is not inviting tRUmp so that he can surrender North Korea's weapons. Kim is inviting tRUmp to demonstrate that his investment in nuclear and missile capabilities has forced the United States to treat him as an equal.

But who knows? Maybe they’ll bond over the size of their buttons. Toddlers are weird.

It all depends on what North Korea does afterward, unfortunately there's no reason to trust them yet. Like I said this could be a Nixon/China moment. Peace with reforms would be nice for a change, would be a big shift the atomic d-ck waving we've seen from Trump and Kim.

When Obama basically abandoned US foreign policy to cut deals with the Iranian theocracy and Cuba's Castro brothers so one-sided they would have been rejected by Neville Chamberlain, it was touted as historic outreach. But when Trump agrees to talks with Rocket man with no preconditions and no sanctions relief it is criticized by the same pundits as validating the NK regime.

In typical Resistance fashion the talks are childishly condemned out of fear Trump might be successful. Solving a long standing problem with NK and stopping their export of nuclear technology is of no concern if it means Trump might get credit for an accomplishment. Talk about toddlers.

I wonder what goes through Kim's head when he compares his country to the South? He should be feeling like a big ol Loser. If he has 1/2 a brain, he will go along with everything we say. It will only make his country better and more prosperous.

I've noticed that your disregard for respect of people knows no bounds. Be they a President or his employer.

Kim is requesting a seat at the "adult table" of nuclear weapons. This is the first time a sitting USA President has actually granted that request from NK. Previous Presidents have paid bribery and/or extortion to keep NK silent. The past has not worked to reduce NK nuclear ambitions/ability. Perhaps a different tactic is viable.

He's a despot and an lunatic. He lives a life of luxury and is worshiped as a God by the people of NK. What is in it for him personally to normalize relations and NK to help his country become more prosperous? It would mean that he would soon be ousted from power when the people realize what the regime has been doing to them for the past 60-70 years.
