Regardless of whether it is smoke and mirrors or bona fide progress, the events in Singapore will assure Trump a second term. Suddenly those Democrats who cheered Hillary Clinton when she said Sanders was naive for being willing--in principle--to talk to the North Korean leader, look pretty foolish.

I'm going to take a leap here and guess US-NK relations are around 45th on the list for GOPers and Indies.

But if you are looking for hypocrites, remember that virtually the entire Republican establishment mocked and insulted Obama for suggesting he would meet with NK. But now our morals-free president and GOP are all for not just talking to, but praising and gladhanding killer tyrants. Got it.

I mean how can you watch this video and remain a republican? The cognitive dissonance must be paralyzing.

Or maybe not. I keep forgetting that the real goal of the GOP is to own the libs. All is secondary to that.

Nothing wrong for having multiple streams of income. They never sold their business interests. Unless they are in trouble with the IRS, nobody cares except for the triggered libs. I smell lib envy here.

Is there also nothing wrong with nepotism? is there nothing wrong with refusing to release your tax returns to hide your net worth and any potential public scrutiny? Is there nothing wrong with not completely severing your control of your business interests and then receiving sweetened business deals from other governments while sitting in the WH? Is there nothing wrong with procuring loans from powerful world leaders before inauguration and after having been elected President? Do you see nothing wrong here even if you believe there's been no crime?

Are you capable of answering any of these questions without bringing up Obama, Clinton or liberal envy? Please, I'd love to see you give it a shot.

Trump has absolutely no obligation to disclose his tax returns. Just like you & I, his tax returns are nobody's business except for the IRS. And what happened when Rachel Maddow snooped around & found his tax returns? Oh yeah, he paid more taxes than Bernie & Hillary.

You should provide proof that Jared & Ivanka received "sweetened deals."

It boils down to something you stated previously and a bit more:

1. Trumpers have lost all values by continuing to support him. We know this is true because Trump has openly violated all supposed values of the right, has gone against the traditional agenda of the right, and has often done exactly what the GOP criticized Obama for trying to do for 8 years. The only explanation for continued support at this point is simply to spite liberals.

2. Trumpers are simpletons, they believe the world's problems are simple and that the solutions should also be simple. Trump appears to be a successful simpleton, so they love him and can't get enough of the kool aid.

3. Trumpers have been so desperate to see change they think is needed that they do not care about the who, how and the actual results. They are now infatuated with Trump for simply messing with the order, seeing past any and all failures and horrible decision making. This is what brought that famous German leader to power quickly, but Trumpers will keep denying this is nothing like that kind of blindness.

4. Trumpers have very short attention spans. Twitter is most effective, followed by the often outright fake headlines on FOX. There is no more need for real content, context and substance... trumpers don't need to see any facts, they are wholly satisfied with just the idea that something they like is happening.

5. Trumpers are hanging on desperately to this only "win" of their lifetimes. Thus far, Trumpism is a blip, a one-off. They know it, otherwise Hillary and Obama wouldn't be part of the daily discourse. Trumpers are unable to defend Trump by his own merits. Living in the past is the only way to keep their good feeling going.

The reality is since WW2 all the things Trumpers stand against are the things that have ensured peace and prosperity in this world. That a 400 lb toothless and uneducated citizen in a backwater town can't compete with others and has found a scapegoat in Trump's justifications for their failures does not change this reality. That we have seen historic peace in the world and record economic prosperity since WW2 under the type of democracy that Trumpers are against is proof of which system and kind of leadership works best. Lets keep revisiting the results of this new world order, the one in which the POTUS blasts our allies, throws his own people under the bus daily, sides with dictators he admires, lands giant kickbacks in the form of business deals... lets see if this new system will yield the most economic gain, general prosperity and peace in the world.

Thank you for serving our country. Other than that, I disagree with all your wackjob liberal beliefs.

let me get this straight. You loathe (presumably) the Iran deal in part because you don't trust the entire international nuclear testing organizaion to keep Iran from cheating...but you do trust freaking CHINA, NK's best pal, to test and verify. Despite China's deep need for NK to stay in place, stable and a bulwark against the US.

Is that right? Because that is one of the most insane ideas ever broached on this.

There is no starker example of shameless Republican hypocrisy than their cheering for this phony deal and Trump's endless, pathetic praise for a long-time tyrannical regime, and their response to both the Iran deal (Remember the treasonous letter Republican senators sent to Iran, telling them that any nuclear agreement would be scuttled as soon as they had the ability?) and the mere notion of Obama engaging in talks with North Korea. These inconvenient memories have apparently been wiped from their collective consciousness.

The best part is, should this "deal" go haywire and Trump decides Kim Jong Un is no longer his best friend, these very same champions for peace and diplomacy will hop on-board the "Bomb North Korea" bandwagon without a second thought. Or a first.
