James Regan + 1,776 June 30, 2019 (edited) Big Congrats to POTUS and Kim, today history was made by DT something no other US President had the humility to do. Like him or not Trump makes things happen!! Trump and Kim make history and all CNN can focus on is the fact the press secretary may have gotten pushed in the press pool. CNN are pissed because they only managed an amateur at best attempt to cover the event. Security constantly in front of CNNs camera blocking the shot, pay back for two years of a witch hunt andΒ one sided news. Sick and tired of these late night CNN lounge lizards downing trump for BS and not reporting on much more important events, I only watch this crap because I canβt get anything eles in Brasil. Hats off to the three presidents for making history. South KoreaΒ USA North Korea πππππππππππππ Edited June 30, 2019 by James Regan 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Kirkman + 8,860 June 30, 2019 Non-CNN coverage: Incredible β President Donald Trump Historic Visit to North Korea The world was watching history being made and overnight millions of Americans stayed up to watch the first sitting U.S. president cross into North Korea.Β President Trump and North Koreaβs Chairman Kim Jong-un took a massive step toward deconfliction and peace. An incredible moment.Β Β WATCH: . CTH doesnβt want to devalue the history of this moment by over analyzing the dynamic. This is an incredible moment in history as U.S. President Donald Trump carries the hopes of tens-of-millions toward a peaceful outcome in North Korea. Β At 3:44pm ROK Time, President Trump walked out of Freedom House towards the military demarcation line between South and North Korea, located between the two famous blue huts. The North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, wearing his traditional Mao suit, was walking down the stairs towards him on the Northern side of the line. At 3:45pm, the President Trump and Chairman Kim leaders shook hands over the concrete slab that forms the military demarcation line between South and North Korea. βGood to see you againβ, said Kim in English, adding that he would have βnever expectedβ to see President Trump βat this placeβ. At 3:46pm, President Trump crossed the demarcation line, becoming the first sitting US president to ever step into North Korea. President Trump then walked a few meters into the North together with Kim. βGood progress, good progressβ, he said as the two leaders crossed back to the South. Asked to recount the moment and first words with Kim when they approached the North-South line of demarcation, President Trump later said he asked Kim: βwould you like me to come across. Kim said he would be honored. It was my honor to do it,β said Pres Trump. After Chariman Kim crossed into South Korea the two leaders briefly spoke to media before greeting South Korean President Moon Jae-in (grinning ear to ear), and then going into the Freedom House for bilateral discussions. Trump and Kim talked for around an hour.Β Notably Moon Jae-in went into a separate room to allow privacy, and President Trumpβs closest staff also left after a few minutes. Suffice to say, the outcome was much more than a handshake; and initial reactions from Asian media were stunning and excited. . President Trump, Chairman Kim and Moon Jae-in emerged from the Freedom House at 4:51pm after the Trump-Kim bilateral meeting that lasted more than 45 minutes. Together all three leaders walked back together towards the demarcation line between North and South Korea. President Trump and Chairman Kim exchanged words for a few seconds and shook hands before the North Korean leader crossed back, alone, to the North of Panmunjom at 4:53pm. President Trump and President Moon debrief the media (prompted just hit playπ Β South Korean President Moon said of the Trump-Kim agreement to set up new diplomatic teams as overcoming a hurdle. Speaking through a translator, Moon called it good news for the 80-million people on the Korean peninsula seeking an end to nuclear weapons. Calling it βa big step forward.β 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guillaume Albasini + 851 June 30, 2019 (edited) It seems really silly to compare this to the fall of the Berlin wall. The Berlin wall coming down was really an historic event changing the World. Today I just see a TV show with no real substance, no real breakthough. This is just a PR operation to attract media attention after a not so glorious G20 meeting. Β Trump doesn't enjoy multilateral summits and prefer bilateral encounters where he can be at the center of media attention and not only one among many head of State attending. So each time he has what he probably considers as a boring G20 or G7 summit it is followed now by a meeting with his new pen pal Kim taylored for TV. No real content needed just a show in front of the cameras. Β Edited June 30, 2019 by Guillaume Albasini 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boat + 1,323 RG July 1, 2019 Kim JunΒ U.N.Β murders his own people on a regular basis. He is in control of several nuclear weapons that threaten millions of lives. He also threatens other countries with these weapons. He is actively pursuing the capability of arming missiles with multiple nuclear warheads to extend the range of his threats. Is that threat still extremely dangerous to his own country and his neighbors? I amΒ not ready to join the Trump peace parade. As with most of Trumps policies we will find out over time what is smoke and mirrors and what he will stand for. In the short term he has acted like a flip flopping fool on so many occasions it is confusing to know what he thinks.Β 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guillaume Albasini + 851 July 1, 2019 Rosa Parks and Muhammad Ali are on the photo beside Trump. But they were not allowed to be Trump's neighbours. The Justice Departmentβs 1973 lawsuit against Trump Management Company focused on 39 properties in New York City. The government alleged that employees were directed to tell African American lease applicants that there were no open apartments. Company policy, according to an employee quoted in court documents, was to rent only to βJews and executives.β https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/06/trump-racism-comments/588067/ timothy l. oβbrien: "The only people of color heβs gone out of his way to try to establish relationships with are people who are athletes, celebrities, or entertainers. He became close to Mike Tyson because Donald and Don King were trying to arrange heavyweight fights in Atlantic City, to draw high rollers to the casinos. It wasnβt because he was fond of black athletes. It was because black boxers were good for his business. " randal pinkett: "I was the only person of color that I saw at an executive level in my entire year with the Trump Organization. And to put that into context, this was 2006. This was the height of Donaldβs popularity with The Apprentice. He had launched several ventures, most of which are now defunct: Trump University, Trump Institute, Trump Ice, Trump Mortgage, Trump magazine. All of those companies were up and running. All of them had employees; they had CEOs who ran those companiesβand still, as I recall, none of them had persons of color in executive roles. None of them.

Β It seems like the crux of your case is I'm not a racist, I have black friends? But it's actually not even that, it's I'm not a racist because I'm in pictures with black people?Β I always wonder though what the dynamic of a trump supporter is?Β Is it that they share the same narcissism in that they dont want to admit they were wrong or are they actually just taken and duped by his psychopathic personality and don't realize it? Maybe a combination of the two because I really cannot believe there are so many that share his xenophobia and attitudes toward women.Β Do u also support his fake support and touting of the military in an attempt to correlate himself with it?Β And way I say fake support I mean it for all his policy and ideals.Β He feels strongly about nothing but doing and saying and making policy based on what he thinks he needs to do to get elected.Β This whole military thing is his hail mary. And he is stupid, don't confuse his life long honed skills of psychopathic manipulation as intelligence or if it is intelligence it is his only facet of such.Β He's clearly an idiot...oh wait, my bad, "he's got the best words" lol.Β Oh another smart thing is how he is making China add billions to government coffers.Β China is just paying and paying, not American consumers in his world.Β Β And I mean, I dont know if I support the trade war or not but him being totally oblivious to the fact that Americans are paying the price is hilarious.
