Kim/Trump Summit Disaster

So while I agree that the prior Presidents have not had much luck in containing Kim at least they had a consistent position.  All Trump has shown the world is that they can't trust a thing our President says because he has no plan and changes his mind more often than a teenage girl shopping for shoes. 

OT but I've said similar things about "the wall".

If there were a reasonable discussion on where it would be, what it would look like, how it would work I could get more behind it.  But just demagoging that it will stop all the Mexican rapists and drug dealers and gang members and then not really having a plan or an ability to negotiate with his own party to get it done just isn't going to convince me we need it.  

Show me that it will indeed do something that makes the cost worth it. Stats, data, reports.  Not just feels that it will make us "safer".  That's just advertising.

I mean at least with the wall he was consistent in getting people to chant for it, but the payment for it not so much.
