North Korea: Trump Agreed to Lift Sanctions

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/north-korea-trump-agreed-to-lift-sanctions

North Korea’s state news agency KCNA reported Wednesday (local time) that US President Donald Trump agreed to lift sanctions on North Korea, in addition to agreeing to halt military exercises and other security guarantees. There was no immediate comment or confirmation from the White House.

No one knows what was said in that room.

exercises, both of which could have been used as negotiating points to get maybe on-the-ground inspectors to verify destruction of nuke sites and actual nukes.

The great negotiator gave up key bargaining chips for nothing.

He go fleeced.

Got help us.

he'll have some beachfront property to build condos on.

There's a rhyme to this reason - son-in-law and daughter made $81 million in sacrifices to government service last year.

This is a family business - as in 'La Familia.'

Because there were no witnesses. The whole thing was a sham so they both can claim victory to their respective cults.

I won't name which sites I lurked on tonight (briefly, very briefly) but they're LOVING their cult leader after his stunning "victory" with North Korea. I kid you not, they're singing his praises for having the GUTS to demand absolutely nothing in return for his concessions. Some other comments were, "What's the alternative? Having constant tension in the Pacific rim? At least the dialogue has calmed down, and no Democrat ever did that".


Can you imagine if a Democrat had done this? They'd be drawing up the articles of impeachment at this very moment. Hypocrisy, thy name is 'Republican'.

Dump cedes SK and Japanese security to murdering dictator and he gets building rights on the best places in NK. And Ivanka must have got a deal as well.

Plus undisclosed bribe $$$.

Yeah...what a deal.
