Very true! Trump's cheek warming diplomatic exercise gave one of the most horrendous cruel dictators international credibility and boosted his image.
Maybe another love letter from Trump will turn things around.

The nature of the effort is the problem. He virtually glorified and complemented him, and increased his international image,
and compromised our relationship with South Korea by canceling joint maneuvers.

The Left is very hung up on words and image. Maybe that's why Hollywood is solidly Left. The Left would more quickly support a matinee idol for POTUS than a statesman.

Not talking to the regime hasn't seemed to do any better.
NO, but Trump's methods and efforts guaranteed failure, appealing to a horrendous cruel dictator with flattery.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

What exactly changed? Did people not recognize that the Kim family has been in charge of NK for 70 years? Unfortunately their "legitimacy" as the rulers of the country becomes solidified due to the passage of time, whether or not their claim held weight at the time it started.
