North Korea claims they only asked for partial removal of sanctions in exchange for monitored dismantling of Yongbyong plus a permanent end to all nuclear and missile testing. Trump may have missed an opportunity here but with the amount of crap he gets for trying to do a deal I'm not surprised.
He doesn't care about that. Sean Hannity and the rest of the Fox News crew will sing his praises to the high heavens and celebrate Peace in Our Time no matter how sh[inks]y or inconsequential any deal actually is.
Im just stating the facts. North Korea's stated position, a phased approach, is not unreasonable. It's clear that some Dems are so invested in partisan bashing of Trump that they are rooting for failure.
I am not "rooting for failure", just pointing out that Trump is a poor negotiator and that having an effective State Media which is never critical of him and endlessly strokes his ego doesn't help the situation. Furthermore, Trump's approach to the Iran deal shows that no agreement made with him is worth the paper it's printed on because he's so erratic. This has been a trend throughout his business and political career. Note that Trump pulled out of the Iran deal and re-imposed sanctions even though Iran was in full compliance. Why should Kim expect to be treated any differently?
