On MSNBC, Nicole Wallace doesn't like this one bit.

She thinks this is bullshit and is of the opinion this is a staged photo op, that Trump is clueless, and that this will backfire on the U.S. She has a nervous laugh and seems genuinely upset.

Because he had no filter, this is crazy no advisor in the room . How will we honor what really was agreed too ? Because trrump lies.
There will be 2 different Versions come out out once rocket man gets back to North Korea and trumps version. You know that will happen. Inspectors going in to verify??? So will verify ? For all county's ii

the GOP got suckered into a hostile takeover, because the rank and file voted for a (ostensible) "strong man" leader. Betrayal is a feeling you should not necessarily get over, and some clearly don't. I'm sure for some of them it's painful every day. The only way they can get away from extremist demagogue candidates is to actively discourage extremist voters -- something the GOP hasn't done for a long, long time. Until then, those of them that have consciences will feel the death of a thousand cuts every day that man is in office.

Whatever way it goes, Trump wins because all the media attention is on what he does and says and not on the scandals.

in any neighboring country. So, that sets the stage for any negotiations regardless of what Bolton wants. I doubt if tRump understands that fact. Plus, China in essence controls NK's economy with a very short leash.

That was when he was running in 2008 and said he would be open to it. Even the mere suggestion brought their wrath. Now look at em. Btw, CNNs gushing coverage is GROSS.

Trump is there because he admires this guy. A strongman. Like Putin. This is what Trump hopes to become. We are doomed if we don't fight like hell this fall!

how angry I am that nobody will call bullcrap.

The men on msnbc were all just talking about how fantastic trumpy's handshake is going to be. They were swooning.

Maddow wasn't even saying much but just taking things as they come.

And I was angry.

Then Nicole Wallace spoke up. I didn't know who she was, took some looking. But Maddow's blog twitter had the exact comment tweeted and that gave me her name.

I am now an instant fan. The clearest thinking person in media?? Ready to call bullcrap?? Nice!

she has Steve Schmidt on fairly often. It's the only news show I watch with much regularity. That and Chris Hayes. She has been aghast at Trump from the beginning. Even though she worked on McCan's campaign, she couldn't vote for him because of Palin.

according to Steve Schmidt's HBO movie, Game Change. According to the movie, she confessed to SS that she could not vote for McCain after seeing how mentally, emotionally unprepared Palin was. She skipped voting.
