I agree tbh, Trump's statement wasn't out of the norm. I have to concede that he did better than I expected in the summit. No foot in mouth yet, which is a good thing. A +1 on his scoreboard.
its a fairly good result, first contact made with no real plans made. good. neither Kim nor Trump should make solid plans without a lot of talks with their people. The eyerollingly predictable propaganda video that looked like it came from NK instead of the whitehouse was a cute touch for Trump's base. I see many conservatives from the Shapiro strain that aren't happy about that or lavish praise, but the actual tangible results are pretty ok by everyone i'd think. that article reads like a hit-piece, from title to end. if anything the skeptical perspective from the media should be on the non-specifics, propaganda video, and praise on Kim by trump. Not making bland concessions that we can pull off the table in a second problematic.
from my perspective tho, if the camps get shut down all of trump's praise in hindsight will just be him massaging the madman. if all we get is nukes off the table and camps stay open its not going to look as good.
