He's got his eyes on the Nobel prize. Must have pissed him off to come out with nothing announced - especially after the stuff from Cohen. Would have wanted something positive to keep the media off that.
Scandinavians will never give a price to Trump. They don't like Putin, either.

Anyone that thinks he's having these meeting cause he's working on a deal is a clown. This is one of the most vain men on the planet.
The man is a reality star ffs, this is all for publicity.
Another abortion of a summit he just had, thank feck he didn’t pull our troops out of South Korea. I guess that is some form of winning.

Depends who you talk to, the South and the rust belt still hate the idea of paying into a healthcare system that would help the unemployed and disabled, "living off my dime' ... "why should i pay for someone who isnt working?" Its abit hard having the conversation when the NHS is constantly abused and long wait lines, they then cite how quick it is to get seen and fine by paying whatever amount copay or the insurance is, seems absurd but that's what they've grown up with and mentality.
Then the Mensas have to utilize the emergency room for issues that preventative care could have helped curtail if they are not on either Medi-. It’s the same idiotic mentality that has kept one cent sales taxes from being voted into existence to assist on local needs because they can’t abide by taxes being ‘levied’ on the populace & not allowing Medicaid expansion into most southern states.

The south is just basically embarrassing on many levels, perfectly caricatured by many of the idiots on display during the Cohen hearing. I cringe to have to admit that the idiot Republican congressman from Louisiana might be somewhere on my family tree.

Should imagine he’s lost any interest in talking to Kimmy and having to be pleasant and charming since Cohen’s testimony yesterday. Suspect he just wants to get back to the US.
The North Koreans have been willing to meet any foreign leader forever, it gives them a legitimacy and a photo op, they have everything to gain from it.

There's a reason no other US president until now even bothered to do so because they won't offer to denuclearise completely and all they want is an acknowledgement of legitimacy at worst and reduced sanctions at best.

The North Koreans want the kind of NPT agreement India got from the US in '98 when they offered to buy fighter jets from the US and open up the economy for US investment which was pushed by the business lobby. North Korea has nowhere near the kind of consumer power for the business lobby to put pressure on the GOP to do anything like that.

Trump Ordered Officials to Give Jared Kushner a Security Clearance https://nyti.ms/2EBLOZu

In an interview with The Times in January, President Trump said he “was never involved” with the security clearance of his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
Nothing to see here folks, move along.

I think the rust belt would be more open to new ideas that will help them out as more and more of them are becoming the unemployed stereotypes that they hated. The south is still digging its heels in on that from what I can see here in Florida at least.
Thing is that actually nobody would live of their dime but they probably would be on the receiving end. I think most of that people are not even aware how much the public costs per capita already are. The taxes the low skilled worker usually pays is not enough to carry his share. So it is for sure not him that pays for others...

Every nation is more or less socialist... the question is just how much of the individual costs and risks you socialise. I guess most are fine to not pay individual for basic school education, street use etc.

Funny thing is, i think they are aware of how much they pay and still dont care, this was on my facebook feed the other day and highlights what people around here at least think...

Hah! “Elude” should tell you enough about the guy. And I dig the irony in his note about Darwinism. Like yes, please let it be for him

Drumpf back on US soil following his calamitously unsuccessful meeting with Kim. Time to deal with Cohen now
