Trumpworld takes to Fox to proclaim Trump’s a great negotiator all while Jong Un’s mugging Trump for all the world to see and is doing what they’ve done for years.

North Korea isn’t going to give up their nuclear weapons. They’re the ones making demands and watching to see who blinks first. They know Trump is so vain that he’ll likely blink and cave to North Korea. Trump’s more likely to leave our allies hanging than he is to drop the idea of a summit.

All the while, his followers still think he deserves a Nobel Prize.

Trump repeatedly negotiates against himself; as president that means he keeps making concessions to foreign powers and gives up leverage and strategic and tactical advantages with nothing in return.

Trump single handedly elevated Jong Un to parity by giving up precondition North Korea must first give up nuclear weapons before meeting with the US in direct talks. We got nothing in return.

GOPers think this is excellent negotiating skill? They’re still pushing this nonsense.

Of course, it’s on Fox, where the audience that matters still watches: Trump himself. He wants to hear how great a negotiator he is all while everyone snickers behind him.

Then there’s the ongoing leaks from this admin as everyone is trying to get in pot shots at everyone else, because that’s how they show loyalty to Trump by turning on everyone else. Sanders warned staffers not to leak, and indicated that the details of that meeting would leak - it did: 5 people independently confirmed that the secret talk with staff occurred and that it dealt with how people are leaking. You can’t make this stuff up.

No one in this admin knows what they’re doing and it shows.
