    Had Trump won reelection there is no telling what could have happened. I doubt he could have got them to change much but getting them to be far less of a loose cannon and not lobbing missiles over Japan was not out of the realm of reason.
    President Trump did far more to make peace with North Korea than any other recent president. The left mocked him, but his meeting with Kim on N. Korean soil was a significant accomplishment and an historic moment.

    Staged Trumpism is alive and well reaching for straws to justify Trump in any way possible.
    Whatever you did a short while ago that brought about a return to lucidity for a couple of days has left no trace as you are back to incoherent mutterings that rarely relate to the post you're "responding" to.

    There is no evidence of this since North Korea continued their development of advanced missile systems. The pause can be easily explained that Korea was developing the advanced missile they fired over Japan. North Korea never has made any statements nor overtures to Trump nor Biden to indicate they have changed their isolationist militerist goals. It still stands as a fact the Trump increased the sanctions of North Korea, which is in contradiction to your previous claims.

    Keep in mind that this was exactly what was said about Trump "meddling" in the Middle East. All the "experts" said that striking any sort of peace deal there was impossible and that Trump will make it worse.

    And yet, here we are with treaties between Israel and Bahrain, UAE, Sudan and Morocco. Go figure.

    And the Saudis looked to be on the verge until old Joe stumbled into the White House and did his level best to scuttle the agreements by delaying and canceling parts that we had agreed to.

    Leftists with TDS are the ones who are deluded. Just who do you think put North Korea back on the list of terrorist nations?

    Well. . . .ah, this contradicts your previous assertion that Trump made every effort to improve relations with North Korea.



    The Soviet Union was most certainly considered a sponsor of terrorism.
    The Soviet Union nor during previous administrations is not presently considered a State sponsor of Terrorism, though Biden is urged to make that judgement. He is hesitant to do this, because it effects diplomatic relations and negotiations over ending the war in Ukraine.

    You are completely brainwashed.[/QUOTE]

    Your Trumpism brain is no brain at all.

    Russia was not considered a rogue nation a 'state sponsor of terrorism,'
    The Soviet Union was most certainly considered a sponsor of terrorism.

    as North Korea was and still is classified, and we had diplomatic relations with Russia,
    You are completely brainwashed.

Trump took that away, and it changed the balance of the world dramatically.

    I explained the basis. Trump treated Kim like Ford treated Brezhnev, or Reagan treated Gorbachev: which is the leader of an adversarial country. No warlike rhetoric from afar like warmongers like to do, but up close and personal so they can communicate without all the virtue signaling. It isn't meant to make them friends, but to cool down hostilities so both sides aren't sitting on hair triggers while talking smack. I don't expect you to understand because the Military Industrial Complex has too many Americans brainwashed into thinking we must always be confronting someone somewhere.

    Than what was the basis of the claims that our relationship with Kim would be any different?
