Breaking: Trump, Kim Jong Un to Meet
From CBS News:
South Korea’s national security adviser Chung Eui-yong said President Trump has agreed to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong un, and the North is “committed” to denuclearization. The meeting is intended to take place by May.
Chung also said Kim Jong un has agreed to refrain from nuclear testing, and routine joint military exercises between the North and South will continue as planned.
The announcement was made at the White House after President Trump walked into the White House briefing room Thursday and told reporters that South Korea would be making a major announcement at 7 p.m. He added that he has spoken with South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
“South Korea is going to be making a huge statement tonight on a big subject … on a big subject…on North Korea,” said Mr. Trump, according to CBS News Jacqueline Alemany. Journalists were instructed by the president to turn off their cameras. South Korean news agency Yonhap reported that the South Korean national security adviser, Chung Eui-yong, would be holding a joint press briefing with White House press secretary Sarah Sanders at the White House at 7 p.m.

I always thought that was a terrible line of argument wrt Obama.
Can’t he just be wrong? Does he have to hate his country too?
And why would he want to be President of a country he hates?
I form my opinion by his words and deeds. You will know them by there fruit.
Why would anyone want to hold the most powerful office in the world. Hmmm….
Aslo. “Fundamental Transformation ” his own words.
His wife ” This is the first time I have been proud of my country”. Birds of a feather flock together.
We can disagree. However, to say there is no evidence for my opinion is silly.
The left will tell you who they are if you listen closely. Most of them are not like the Obama’s.
Some just refuse to believe a president can hate their country. The Obama’s made this observation easy for me. Your mileage may vary.
It is clear that they did not love America. They are both Post American. I think the Clintons and Pelosi and Schumer care more about the USA than the Obamas.
There is a recording of Obama somewhere where he wants to overhaul everything so we have a constitution of positive rights. Anyone with a brain knows this is crazy.
Nice. Good for others to read but this will have no effect whatever on Fred. Also, the biggest reason I say this is that Fred never seems to give any feedback as to when the discussion is making progress. He usually just changes the subject.
This is an important insight. Biden is much to be preferred than Obama, too.
It’s not enough that he’s wrong about [x]. It has to go beyond that. He has to hate his country too. After all, hate is the only explanation why he could possibly be wrong about [x]. He must hate America.
Youre damn right it’s unmoving to me. It’s a non-argument. And it’s cheap. We can’t just disagree with the other guy. We have to demonize him too.
Obama wasn’t wrong or misguided – I think he did exactly what he intended to do, which was weaken America.
His disdain for the Military was obvious. His actions against fracking weren’t just wrong. Fracking was good for America; he was against it.
He knew all along that Obamacare was going to provide lower standard care at a higher price. Why his determination?
I told all the Obama voters in my life – you might like him, but he doesn’t like you
He’s a red diaper baby. He hates this country. At the very least he hates most Americans. Iran deal proves that. He likes our enemies and hates our friends. There much much more to prove he’s anti American and he has been since first suckling the red milk from his mother’s breast.
