That's the defining symptom of all the "derangement syndromes" in the first place. If you have TDS or any of the other ones, of course reality isn't reaching you. As to the story, I have really low expectations both based on past North Korean and Chinese behavior and because it's Trump.
I'll believe it when I see it, maybe. Sure, there's potential for radical improvement in the region, but that's always been theoretically possible for the past 65 years. Didn't happen then.

Still pining for Hillary? Can you even vaguely imagine this happening on her watch?
Trump's shown yo what theoretical looks like. In spite of all the ankle biters with nothing to offer.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

Nobody's pining for Hillary. We're reminding you that North Korea is not trustworthy whatsoever and not to get your hopes up.

"Still pining for Hillary? Can you even vaguely imagine this happening on her watch?"
With or without every republican demanding her head for treason for even suggesting peace talks with North Korea?
(You know, the kind of things they were doing whenever this came up under Obama's watch. It's kinda hilarious how republicans will view any particular action depending ENTIRELY on whether or not it's a republican or a democrat suggesting it.)
