The leaders of North and South Korea met this week and set a course towards peace and nuclear disarmament in the Korean peninsula. At least it seems as if that is the course that has been set. After all, with Kim Jung Un of North Korea, one never knows if he will keep his word. Still, it is undeniable that this week has seen more progress in pacifying Korea than has happened at any time since the end of the Korean war in 1953. It is also undeniable that none of this progress would have happened but for the efforts of President Trump and his administration. In fact, there will soon be the next step in the peace process when President Trump meets with Kim in the next month or two.
The country and the entire world owes a hearty congratulations and thank you to the President. He has managed in a little over a year of effort to accomplish something that no other American president managed to do for over 60 years.
It has been very hard for the Democrats and mainstream media to come up with a narrative to use to criticize the President for his Korean efforts. Sure, in the beginning when Trump started building up forces near Korea, the Democrats said he was a warmonger and could start World War III. They and the "experts" who appear as pundits in the media criticized Trump for his unschooled methods of international relations. We were repeatedly told that Trump would only make things with Korea worse than they already were. Then Trump started hurling insults at "Little Rocket Man" and telling the NK leader that the US nuclear button was a lot larger than the one in North Korea and that the American button actually works. The media, pundits and Democrats went crazy in their criticism. Trump was a wild man who had no idea how to act towards a foreign leader, or so we were told. Trump would surely get us into a war, or so we were told. People like Madeline Albright (who as Secretary of State was fooled by the North Koreans into a very bad deal) denounced the President as an amateur. (I do wonder what she is saying now.) Even after word first came that the North Korean leader wanted to meet with President Trump, these same pundits and Democrats denounced Trump's every move. They told us that there was no way that the USA could ever get ready in time for such a summit. It would take more than three or four months of preparation. Also, they told us that Trump was falling into Kim's trap. The USA would make concessions while the NK's would not. Of course, since those warnings, Kim has halted nuclear and missile testing and shut the main nuclear test site in North Korea. The USA has kept its sanctions and pressure campaign in place. In other words, the pundits and the Democrats were wrong once again.
It's high time for the Democrats and the media to acknowledge the truth: President Trump has pulled off something that they all assured us could not be done. Trump has demonstrated a mastery of how best to "negotiate" with the North Koreans in ways that the "experts" were sure would not work.
I don't expect much acknowledgement of the great accomplishment by Trump; they "experts" and Democrats all hate Trump after all. Nevertheless, it certainly would be appropriate for these people to admit, just this once, that they were wrong and the President was correct.
