    There certain things that are required to be done in diplomatic settings. and in parliamentary ( Congress for us 'Mericans) settings and in political campaigns that the other side will use as propaganda.

    Furthering the April talks with Moon while agreeing to further talks are nothing? Agreeing to turning over the remains of over 7600 remains of POW/ MIA is nothing?

    You do know for the war to end NK, SK, US AND China have to sign right? So Trump formally showing he supports the end to the war after Kim and Moon agreed is "nothing" to you?

    I'll agree with you here. Nothing really improper. Awkward, sure. Will this be used in NK propaganda? Without doubt. Does it matter? meh. I really don't care about it.

    I wrote a song about their salty tears, wanna hear it? Here it go!

    Salty salt in a sandy pail
    They more they cry, the more they fail
    The more they fail, the more we win
    So keep it up Trump and we'll win again

    Returning a military salute to a top General of a country trying to broker a peace deal is a bad thing?

    Wanting the same level of tariffs that are imposed on us is "insulting our allies"?

    Dear god read past headlines and learn what is going on..

    Yep, ya gotta teach the haters. In the military culture so in the salute. I
    would be very happy if DJT had a military background but hey O'Bama never served either and I only heard Obama mention that one time that he admitted that since he never served in the military that he felt it strainfull to send Americans into harms way. That is something we will never hear DJT say.

    Bowing to a leader of an ally country is a bad thing?


    You might do the same. The Trump spin on "tariffs" is lies and bullshit.

    I think that you have been caught up in this media bashing for so long that you are not seeing the fact that the press is there to report what happened. Sadly one of our sides has been brainwashed into believing that all of the media should be bowing down to their POTUS yet think about it isn't that what you are criticizing the NorKors for.

    The so called MSM is reporting what happened in reality instead of ordering the gown for the Nobel PP and simultaneously design a statue on the Washington Mall for the negotiator of the century as the propaganda organ for DJT is doing.

    If you bow much lower. Yes.

    There is no spin... Trump wants the same level of tariffs imposed on other countries as we have imposed on us.. its called a level playing field.. If Tariffs are "trade war" then those countries went to "trade war" with us long ago..

    Three options

    1) Continue to take it up the ass
    2) put out equal tariffs to balance the field
    3) put out equal tariffs while trying to negotiate their removal.. ie no tariffs for either party.

    Trump is doing 3..

    You want to continue #1

    After cuddling up to one of the world's most horrible, brutal, murderous tyrant, lavishly praising how smart he is and how he loves his people (when he's not killing them), cutting off our allies and sanctions for nothing more than a warmed over promise NK has been proclaiming for decades, now we see donald saluting the military of this terrible dictatorship.

    Can you image if Obama had done that? It would be top line news for weeks on the RW propaganda and we'd have a score of threads on it here.

    But with one of their own in office, the Republicans are just fine with their president kowtowing to murderous communist dictatorships.

    Truly unbelievable the depths the apologists will go.

    Double standards and rank hypocrisy. On a daily basis.

    Let's see, the US has been the world's #1 superpower for decades and has a per capita income the envy of the world.

    And you want to start a trade war which at the very least will cause price increases and inflation, and which history proved repeatedly is a disaster.

    I'll pass on the trade war, and continue "taking it up the ass" thanks.

    Your judgement is skewed in favor of an unAmerican dictator-wannabee. He wants Americans to sit up at attention "like the people of North Korea do when Kim Jong Un speaks".
    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...-us-north-korea-people-fox-news-a8400571.html

    He wants Americans to treat him like North Koreans treat Kim Jong Un.

    Just answer this: DO YOU WANT A DICTATOR? YES OR NO?

    They all act like Trump should have disrespected a North Korean General. Well of course he should've, then we would be in a thread about how Trump shits all over people we should be trying to make allies with.

    "He speaks and his people sit up in attention. I want my people to do the same," President Trump said, later adding that he was "kidding."

    You really need a sense of humor.. Being constantly outraged cant be good for your health and the screaming must give people close to you migraines.

    I don't have a doubt that Obama felt inferior to all of those he met with. He was bent over so far he almost gave himself a BJ.

    My "problem" is your willful groveling at his feet and worship of his authoritarian and unAmerican regime! This has gone much too far!
