>Would you give Trump credit if this is a success<

I would.....but neither party is known for truthfulness.

What Trump says today he denies and reverses course tomorrow

Kim is no better at being honest

Two crooks in the same room will not come to an honest agreement. At the end of the day they will each blame the other party for a failure "to understand"..

Also to get a major piece of legislation thru both house and senate is a major accomplishment. Most sitting Presidents don't see that accomplishment till second year.

That's all i have to say.. Don't want to junk the board with political

In search of a " very honorable " leader.

This phrase will come back to haunt Trump and the Republicans in the next general election this fall.

Compared to other dictators Kim Jo.un is just as despicable as the rest.

On a comparative basis the following can be verified in the history books.

Genghis Khan murdered over three million people

Stalin about 4 million

Hitler about 6 million

Nuon Chea leng Sary. Pol Pot leader....1.5 to 3 million

Kim Jon un ( N. Korea ) between 600 thousand and 1.5 million (mostly in N Korea prisons.}

Tyrants do a lot to cover up these crimes. N. Korea has about 17 prisons some holding as many as 50,000 prisoners i. .. (Do a search on Google ).

There are some prisons reserved for Political Enemies and people trying to escape the country, or those extradited from China. In those prisons very few prisoners last a year. (Otto Wambier of Ohio for example).
Kim has added a new wrinkle.... prisoners taken from the prison's mass execution site are burned, their ashes used for fertilizer and any record of them is destroyed. The mass execution sites are clearly shown on Google.(do a google search on N Korean prisons)

Historically, our state department has policy of not rewarding tyrants or leaders of despicable character.Why give them all the attention they crave on the world stage, without their cooperation?

So here is Trump giving Kim center stage in world politics for behaving so terribly.

In my opinion, Trump is free to do what ever he wants because he still has 3 more years in office.

But a lot of good Republicans (mostly centrists) running for election this fall will get defeated for being tied to Trump.

Now Kim has threatened the W.coast of the US, Taiwan, S. Korea, Japan, with a nuclear attack. History has shown us that real tyrants don't threatened....they just do it.

So what is it that Makes Kim a
"very honorable Leader"
