Where is/can Donald Trump take US (sic)?

[moXJO]

I can't see how this summit is going to achieve anything. Kim isn't going to give up his Nukes so all I can think is Trump is hoping to build rapport with Kim so NK doesn't view the U.S. as an enemy/target.

Open dialogue is a massive start. Millions of people will benefit.
The nukes may have just been a ruse to get NK to the negotiating table.

US has already freed their political prisoners. And research and test sites shutdown (doesn’t mean much).
But the news would rather cover De Niro spazzing out yet again. I noticed he apologized to Canada as well.

Funny how the US always wants others to give up their nuclear weapons but doesn't offer to do so themselves.

When ?

Only free, responsible, peace-loving, international law respecting countries get to keep their nukes SirR.

Soo... is Kim still a lil bastard who had his elder brother killed, oppressed his people etc. Or is Kim now an acceptable, cool kind of guy?

Or is he only cool if, until, he side with the good side?

--------
In other news,
Canada just agreed to loan and guarantee Canadian corporations affected by US tarriffs.

If every country get into this trade wars, and every country uses its tax payers money to relief those with the biggest campaign donation... So consumers will pay the higher prices, their tax dollars goes to "protect" jobs... all while corporations get to make their same profit margin?

Is that just being too negative or the plebs are getting screwed again?

In kims case- free the people and it usually takes care of itself. If the society opens up more, then it allows more scrutiny.

As for Canada, the taxpayers have been grabbing their ankles for years.

When ?

De Niro did, not trump.

What does "grabbing their ankles" mean? Serious, I don't understand some catchphrases. ESL student here.

Stand up straight then grab your ankles without bending your knees. Stop and ponder it's significance.

 

[luutzu]

Really!!!

I know it's obvious, just a few generous souls out there overlook the grammar and focus on the content instead.

Not possible. So how does that apply to Canadians? You know that it also apply to Australians if it applies to those half French half Poms guys right?

Same as here. Overbloated public sector and waste.

I know, using taxpayers' money to pay for their grandkids weddings, housing estate and weekly allowances.

We all receive welfare, just for some it's not called "welfare" but are "incentives", "jobs creation", "growth something", "partnership" and the like.

I get zip and was too well paid to get any benefits so when you say all, that is not true.

Trump, despite all the naysayers, appears to be achieving more in his short stay as President, than the last three put together. IMO
Maybe the "experts" didn't call it right, when they said he would be a disaster, time will tell.
The Dow is up massively since his election.
The dude from North Korea, is talking, rather than giving everyone the "bird".
China's massive trade distortion, is on the table, as it should be.

If you call the destruction of the Western Alliance an "achievement" then you may be right.
