This presidency has been an excellent study in how to negotiate from strength.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Trump tore up the G7 agreement on the lead-in to Singapore. It accomplished at least two things. Primarily, it showed total resolve to Un that he should not try to play games. Secondarily, it slapped around the other member states in the G7, saying don't screw around with us. We've been nice for far too long.

Seriously, these are master classes being put on. Such a change from the past decades.

I spoke this morning with a friend who hails from Kansas. Her sister worked hard to get Pompeo elected, and apparently knows him pretty well. What my friend said reinforced my confidence in Pompeo's character. He will be the one who will do all the follow-through with the North Koreans.

President Trump has been underestimated by the radical left in this country at every turn.
Fools, communists and traitors, the lot of them. To hell with them.

President Trump, thank you. All true Americans are so proud of you that we're almost speechless. We have total confidence in your ability to see this process through to a successful conclusion.

Chairman Kim, well done so far. This is your chance, and it's a big one.

The God Damned Commies misunderestimated W for decades. It’s what they do for Republican or right leaning office holders who are seen as threats.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I disagree that Obama ever had an opportunity to negotiate a peace. Yes, they may have sat down with him. They would not have concluded a peace with him. In many parts of the world, he was seen as a weak feckless leader. There is no way KJU would negotiate with such a man. If he was going to sit down and get a peace agreement. It would only be with someone he saw as an equal or better. Obama was never that man.

I was wondering about that long flight to Singapore.

Saw this article from 2013

http://www.ibtimes.com/worlds-...-lot-shorter-1485648

Singapore Airlines Flight SQ21 flew from Newark International to Singapore’s Changi Airport on Monday for the last time, marking an end to the carrier’s decade-long run offering the world’s longest commercial flight.

the airline first launched its 9,534-mile journey from the U.S. East Coast to Southeast Asia in 2004.

The 19-hour trip took passengers over the Artic Circle

Prices of between $6,000 and $11,000 per seat left everyday leisure travelers no choice but to make a stopover instead, which adds a minimum of three hours to the journey

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

President Trump's AF1 flight home will have stops in Guam and Hawaii

The outbound trip went east, over Africa, non-stop. I wonder why they came over the Pacific on the way back? Winds aloft? McDonalds? Inspect military? See the volcano erupt? Make sure Guam isn’t tipping over?

So glad that Tillerson was replaced by Pompeo.

Agree completely. Trump hit it out of the park replacing T-Rex with Pompeo.

Can't wait for the Progressives to fall all over themselves pointing out Trump's minor spelling error!

Better yet, will be Trump's response to them!!

LOL!!

Remember?

Lil Kim threatened Guam?

De Niro is a rich guy and has made many movies, but his formal education is limited. Wiki says he dropped out of high school at 16 to pursue acting. He never graduated high school.

Can you imagine a reporter pulling that shit with Zero, or even Bush. He’d be gone, that day. Not with Trump though, they’re all on board the swamp boat. Anything goes with the media as long as its against Trump and his agenda.
