Trump's going to hand North Korea a massive win. We all understand that, right?
North Korea needs validation as a player on the world stage. Just having the summit is big for them, but even more so as they'll be meeting an idiot who also happens to be fascist.

Trump validates dictators, because he likes dictators.

It's that simple. It's going to happen.
There's little doubt in my mind Trump will be more at ease and in his element in Kim Jong Un's presence than he was with the G7s leaders. His lizard brain will instinctively cause him to seek the approval of someone who's established such unquestioned dominance within his realm.
They're going to flatter him, and he's going to come back and start saying nice things about them.

I'd worry about this sounding all smoking-gun mashed potatoes conspiracy theory, but we've literally seen this happen before.
Anyway, Mitch McConnell told a room full of conservatives that this has been the best time in his political career for conservative values, and all the conservatives clapped, in case you thought national security and strategic foreign policy were aspects of conservatism.
Again, we are sending *Donald Trump* to meet with North Korea. On purpose.

When Dennis Rodman was going to North Korea we all told jokes about hahahaha wouldn't it be wild if Dennis Rodman were actually doing N Korean foreign policy.

This reality is significantly worse.
Can we all please remember that when people say "Donald Trump" it's still the same clearly stupid person who pretended to be a billionaire on that teevee show that was all about firing Meat Loaf and Li'l John for messing up a 7-Up marketing campaign with the Harlem Globetrotters?
Relevant previous experience for shaping global policy on the Korean peninsula for the next several decades.
It shouldn't be any less shocking that Donald Trump is going to go literally wing it in nuclear talks with Kim Jong Un than it would have been if Bush or Obama had sent him to do that job last decade.

He hasn't learned anything new since then.
When people try to convince me to be "open-minded" and listen to the Republican perspective right now, they're asking me to literally forget everything I already knew about who Donald Trump is and pretend along with them.

Even the request is so amazingly alienating.
He. Is. Donald. Trump.

You don't get to think he should be the leader of a country and still get taken seriously. You just don't.
