And he's wearing a MAGA hat. He's fucking lost his mind. What an asshole.
Old man hired to angrily lie through his teeth recovering from heart attack.
Look, I'm not going to say "ha!" or anything stupid like that. Heart attacks suck ass. I'm just saying that the only thing I find surprising about this is that Kudlow is the first person in the administration to suffer one.
^^ I was positive that was photoshopped.
Nope
Trump is turning me into a conspiracy theorist, especially after the Cambridge Analytica revelations. This whole situation feels scripted, like there are puppet masters behind the scenes of what is going on. Basically is the US just going to align itself with dictators from now on ?
Well, there it is.Trump says he trusts Kim. If he's wrong? "I may be wrong, I mean, I may stand before you in six months and say, 'Hey I was wrong,'" said Trump, adding, "I don't know that I'll ever admit that, but I'll find some kind of an excuse."
The Devil is in the details.
NK as real estate asset for the Trump family? Chinese CP must laugh their asses off right now. what a fool.
Really happy for the people of North Korea. Socialism is a cancer. Trump did a good thing for them.
If you hated the Iran deal but celebrate Trump giving NK the propaganda photo opportunity it wanted (but didn't get for 60 years!!!) in exchange for the same vague promises it's been giving for decades and never kept... then you're a fool!
Praising a dictator that runs his country like a gulag as a great guy who loves his people... while shitting on the democratically elected leaders of our allies says a lot about who Trump is.
North Korea is no joke. It's a REAL dictatorship where people starve, get sent to concentration camps and forced to worship their leader.
This is not a great moment. Sorry, but Trump is wrong here.

I fear this is the beginning of an unholy alliance with the U.S., North Korea, and Russia. Oh God, we're fucked.
trump is doing what he does running the hype machine, there are no details to this deal no time table no anything basically doing propaganda for N.K. the only thing he's done so far is screw the south. and the US.

I'm really sorry you guys, but I have a hard time seeing this as a bad thing. Everything else about Trump is objectively terrible, but we just got lucky with this throw-shit-at-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks approach.
Consider this -- you don't actually have to give Trump credit here. South Korea recently elected Moon Jae-in for their president, a progressive (leftist) who emphatically campaigned for peace and reunification of the Koreas. He currently holds an 86% approval rating and the vast majority of South Korea's citizens are pleased with this outcome.
I'm cautiously optimistic, but this isn't the first time (by a long shot) that NK has lied about being willing to halt their nuclear ambitions. We are left with a vague celebration, loaded with praise for Kim, lacking in criticism for crimes against the NK people, propaganda, and concessions without clear reciprocation of any kind. He's done this on the heels of lambasting our allies, while legitimizing the NK regime as an equal as far as optics go... and that goes a long way as fodder for the glorious leader on his return to NK.
I'm not going to wail about where we're at right now, but I'm not buying the sunshine and rainbows. For Trump, this is all about optics to make him look like he's getting a win, and he's already acting like he has achieved one... but this is ALL political theater, and I guess both sides benefit there.
I do think this might work out OK but, for the history-averse/people with lives, they did this exact shit with Jimmy Carter in 1994
edit - which calls to question... how many trumpets who hated the iran deal want to sing Carter's (oh god!) praises for that
You don't have to give him credit because you can't give him credit. But his entire base will give it to him anyway.
Korea's nuclear program crumbled when they blew up their own damn test site by mistake.
Trump has taken a shit on an extremely large number of US allies in recent months - including Canada, FFS.
WHILE doing so, Trump then went on to meet with a dictator who is guilty of severe human rights violations on a massive scale and calls him an "honorable man".
Trump also used NK's own language in regard to longstanding US military exercises in the region, which he abruptly cut with no concessions and apparently without consulting ANYONE in his administration about it.
Trump has now given Kim an appearance of legitimacy to the North Korean people, despite the atrocities he continues to commit.
And of course, let's not forget the fact that the American Cheeto failed to actually detail ANYTHING that was discussed at the summit - meaning everything they talked about is, for all intents and purposes, a complete load of crap until we actually see results years from now.
I'm having a hard time seeing this as a good thing. Best case scenario right now is that it doesn't make things worse - but given that Trump just took a massive shit on Canada and other close allies while smiling and shaking hands with fucking Kim Jong-un is very much a bad thing.
Hey, guys, I have great news!!! North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat!!!!

Wow... that is awesome news. I also heard they're making a deal with Russia in creating some super-duper venture for real estate. El Stupido and Kim Jong-Un spent much of Singapore drinking and bullshitting each other as they made calls to Putin going "Wazzup!" and Putin will help Kim get China off of his ass. That's what I'd like to believe in what really happened.
Sorry for the double-post but.... there's now rumors that Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Raj Shah are leaving the White House later this year: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sarah-s...e-white-house/
priceless

The Republican Party is starting to show very big numbers. People are starting to see what is being done. Results are speaking loudly. North Korea and our greatest ever economy are leading the way!
he keeps talking about the economy it's not doing well the tax cuts put us in a huge hole the exact same leading practices that lead to the 2000 crisis are being repeated, the clowns performance @ g7 possible trade wars the over inflated market i think an October surprise is headed our way. a lot of the safeguards that were put in place are gone this is going to hurt. most corps know this if you look at what they did with the tax cuts most of it was spent on doing with out workers money was spent on consolidation, stock buy backs and automation,
