Trump’s failure in N. Korea

Trump blamed the Cohen testimony to Congress as the reason the Vietnam summit ended in a failure. That is a lie.

The ineptitude of President Trump’s foreign policy strategy is shown by U.S. national security adviser John Bolton saying that the “Libya model” of nuclear disarmament would be a good precedent for the talks with North Korea.

The North Korean leader clearly knows that the leader of Libya was murdered after he agreed to cancel his nuclear program and the international community agreed to lift all sanctions.

President Trump now publicly acknowledges what U.S. intelligence officials said they have been long telling him: Even during the last eight months of diplomacy, Kim Jong Un has steadily added to his weapons arsenal and nuclear infrastructure. Satellite photos from 38north.org show that the construction to rebuild the launch pad and rocket engine test stand at Tongchang-ri began before the Vietnam summit.

Kim Jong Un received what he wanted from the U.S. in the cancellation of joint U.S and South Korean military exercises. The U.S. has received absolutely nothing in return from two failed summits.

Verdict: We have a totally incompetent, lying president.
