Boy, you really jinxed that one.
Can you maybe revisit this editorial? Would love to see a sequel.
Trump has achieved more success in 2 years than his previous 3 predessors combined.
This is the problem with a 24/7 news cycle. It allows guesswork to become news rather than giving readers a considered opinion after the event.
*cough*
lmpotus gets along with corrupt despots. Birds of a feather.
Really? What deal did the artist produce?
That is an editorial? 😜
?ARE YOU JOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What are you talking about? The idea that merely turning up, then fawning over & grinning like a lune at Kim Jong Un represents some kind of ‘success’ is balderdash!
What success Making friends with a dictator? Backing down on requiring knowledge of all of N.Korea's nuclear plans etc...yeah...huge success that...
Yep he does
What success? Words and photo opportunities? I know the bar is low these days, but seriously?
But is it enough to be re-elected ?
Was this written by the ghost of Neville freaking Chamberlain? Success? Poppycock!
It's just a diversion
NK doesn't have a functional aeroplane yet Trump has convinced you that NK is a global nuclear threat! You've been had by a BS Artist!
He met Kim who iirc didn't follow through on any agreements, poss told to behave himself by China & we're doing the same again, plus the possibility of a mini-me China (dictatorship, continued human rights abuses, enviro-vandalism et al) is to be welcomed. It's a funny old world.
Kim has not conceded a damn thing! The United States has. We’ve turned our backs on South Korea and Trump is just happy that a dictator “likes” him. I also remember republicans screaming like their hair was on fire when President Obama simply mentioned talking to Kim.
Not the usual jaundiced view ...
Which success?
What success😮🙄🙄
Hello papi ! Rome.. i mean America is burning!
Surely you jest!
Indeed. NK and China are quite afraid of Trump; just imagine the heckling if Hillary was president.
😱🤯😳
Hello! Rome.. i mean America is burning! & if we don't stop this corrupt, incompetence force you can kiss democracy bye...
CONTAINING TERROR OR SETTLING DISPUTES, ALL SHOULD TRY TO WIN WITHOUT KILLING AND GETTING KILLED, AS WE HAVE NO MEANS TO BRING ALIVE THE DEAD, PLEASE!
What credit? If Trump wants the authoritarian Maduro out, he should also try to unseat the despot-for-life Kim. DoubleStandard ImpeachTrump
People always look at their side of the coin.
Umm...No. Trump gave up the request that N Korea provide any acocunting of its nuclear weapons. That is not a 'success.' BTW, what were Jared and Ivanka doing with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia today? Probably more newsworthy than the cringing performance in Hanoi.
he hasn't had any success yet he has managed to legitimise a brutal dictator, and all he has done is calm down a crisis he created in the first place Kim hasn't made a single concession yet
wow, Independent actually posted smthng INDEPENDENT from democratic agenda. Go on please
Is this for real Well what you know..good for you
NO
A broken clock tells the right time twice a day. Let's all smash our clocks. 🙄
HE IS SURE TO GET THE NOBEL PEACE PRICE FOR THAT!
Success?
Very outstanding job Mr President
