Folks consider that a success? The bar set by Trump supporters is too low for an American President.
It's almost as if Kim and Putin is elevating the American President on the world stage. That is disgraceful.
In addition, Kim got invites and meetings from at least four other heads of state. My concern is that this summit made sanctions much harder to enforce. It was an opening for Kim, not the US. The photograph of Kim and Trump on the world stage with equal footing still grinds me.
China also wanted the US to cancel its annual military exercise. Trump can always re-start it. But if he does, then what was all the "success" of the summit? Things that fool Trump into thinking "accomplishment" also fool his supporters, at least until Helsinki.
On the other side, though, Trump did get very general, unenforceable agreements and massive world attention. Obama never achieved that.
