BEWARE! People acting under the influence of human nature.

Three things, actually. Someone recently pointed out that there was an impeachment in S. Korea. Politics in S. Korea changed as a result. I don't understand S. Korean politics, I know Jack about who is who. But, it's possible that progress toward a peaceful solution was blocked by S. Korea all along. Food for thought.
And, one more thing. You might want to wipe the foam from your mouth and chin, so that people don't think you're just another rabid Trump hater.

Your point about South Korea is noted. Somebody else pointed out China's influence.
I was just irked by the idiot lumping all dissent and negative comments against Trump in one irrational anti-Trump group. Then to top it off, started sounding like a rabid Trumpanzee, with, "Dear Leader can do no wrong. It's not wrong if Dear Leader does it.". That bullshit about doing wonderful things constantly. Uh, no. That just isn't true, and I certainly don't consider getting obsessed with Twitter and black athletes kneeling during the anthem to be worthy of a president, and evidence of a distraction from real world problems. His immaturity is a problem, and people from all sides have made comments about that in Washington. If we were to be honest.
He's mostly bad at the moment with his bullshit, but has done some sparingly good things mostly related to trade. The rest of it, like the tax bill, is up for debate. If I take away the partisan stuff, what's left is an orange asshole embarrassing us in front of the world with his belligerent behavior. If he was a true deal maker, and master businessman, he would be more like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet than Andrew Dice Clay.
I understand from the other side (that being a Trump supporter) that Trump does not look apoplectic as he does, especially when he is accomplishing at least part of the Republican agenda. Still, there has been a lot of questionable bullshit, some outright lies. Did you really expect him to be this petulant once taking office? He's a sore winner that can't get over crowd size for fuck's sake. It's outright ego to make Mexico pay for the wall, especially when it's so outlandish that he thinks the US has that kind of unilateral power with another nation. If the US did enough bullshit, we could also be removed from the G-7.
He's done some positive things, some things we expect of a US president anyways, but he is not as wonderful as described. When it comes to this Korea situation, I'll give credit where credit is due. We'll see what his contributions are beyond yelling on Twitter.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.

Actually - I didn't expect it, but it doesn't surprise me.

Amazing!!! Something else Runaway1954 does not know! Will the shocking revelations ever cease? Doesn't stop him from posting, however. Got to keep those rubles rolling in.
