Korean Drama Queens: "Experts Say"...and Say and Say and Say and Say...

"Me! Me! It was supposed to be me! Why am I not 38 Parallels ahead?"

How 'Bout Saying This:

"He was right. We were wrong. We're sorry."

And then I woke up.

Candidate Trump: "It's something I've been talking about for a long time. You have this madman over there who probably would use it. And nobody talks to him, other than of course Dennis Rodman,. That's about it. China has … total control over North Korea. And China should solve that problem. And if they don't solve the problem, we should make trade very difficult for China. We are holding China up. They're taking so much money. They're draining our country, and they're toying with us with North Korea. China should do it. They say they can't, they 'don't have that power.' They're toying with our politicians, who don't know what they're doing. I'd get South Korea — that's making a fortune, they're our trading partner, if you want to use the word 'partner'. We get almost nothing for what we do. We defend the world. We defend so many countries. We get nothing. They get everything. We get nothing. South Korea's going to have to start ponying up, OK? And we'll do it in a very nice manner. They'll like us even more than they like us now. We got to close it down, because he's getting too close to doing something. Right now, he's probably got the weapons, but he doesn't have the transportation system. Once he has the transportation system, he's sick enough to use it. So we better get involved."--DONALD TRUMP: Here's how I'd handle that 'madman' in North Korea, Business Insider, Jan. 6, 2016

Oh, how they mocked him:

*Of Course North Korea Is Endorsing Donald Trump | Vanity Fair
*Trump on North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un: 'You Gotta Give Him Credit'-ABC
*Donald Trump on North Korea going to war: 'Good luck, enjoy yourself folks'- The Guardian
*Trump has never had a plan for dealing with North Korea - The Washington Post ...

Here's a typical one from the New York Times, May 18, 2016:
*Donald Trump's Views on North Korea Test Hillary Clinton:

"Foreign policy experts said Mr. Trump’s openness to a presidential meeting was problematic because it would legitimize North Korea’s status as a nuclear-weapons power, unnerve American allies like South Korea and Japan and likely fail to persuade Mr. Kim to give up his weapons. ...

The comments came after Mr. Trump talked about withdrawing American troops from Japan and South Korea, which he suggested should acquire nuclear weapons to defend themselves. Mrs. Clinton and her surrogates have said these statements show Mr. Trump to be reckless, uninformed and unfit to be commander in chief. ...

“She wasn’t averse to testing diplomacy with the North,” Mr. Sullivan said in an interview. “She did have a clear-eyed view of what was possible.”...With her long experience, foreign policy ought to be an undisputed advantage for Mrs. Clinton. ...

Experts on North Korea said a meeting with Mr. Kim was different in several respects from one with President Raúl Castro of Cuba, for example. The North already possesses nuclear weapons; it is guilty of widespread human rights abuses, and Mr. Kim would insist on holding any meeting in Pyongyang, where he could exploit it for propaganda value.

 

“Kim would control this reality show,” said Michael J. Green of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “This is not like holding the Miss Universe contest in Moscow.”".......

"...he sniffed."

Donald Trump is THE ONLY ONE who had a "clear-eyed vision". And the guts to pull it off. THE ONLY ONE.

 

Sadly, I fully expect the #FakeNews and Democrats--but I repeat myself--to try and team up with North Korea to defeat America in the negotiations, such is the degraded state of a once-proud party.

 

...and here they go, right on cue: New York Times:
*As Two Koreas Talk Peace, Trump’s Bargaining Chips Slip Away

 

They just can't help it anymore.

 

"Oh, please don't throw me into that Briar Patch, B'rer Acosta!"

 

 

"Experts say 'They never learn'. That I can tell you"

Even Lefty Katrina vandenHeuvel gets it: "Forever let it be recorded that American cable news led with & devoted more air time to RussiaGate, broadly defined, than to truly historic day of deescalation, peacemaking between South & North Korea—"

Barack Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize for nothing, absolutely nothing, while Donald Trump got a Special Counsel for nothing, absolutely nothing.

Yet President Trump is truly earning a Nobel--if they even have any meaning at all anymore.

Salute

Update: While Trump Rally patriots chant "No-bel! No-bel!",
Don Surber writes: "Trump alone earned the prize by forcing Kim to surrender. And that is what this is, a surrender. I hope Trump makes it clear he does not want the award. The Nobel Peace Prize committee does not deserve validation by President Trump."

Roseanne: peace IS the prize. Pray for more of it.
Amen.
