Trump To Meet Kim Jong Un

[Charles]

So you genuinely think a random journalist somehow knows more about these things than the teams of experts with access to classified information who are advising the President?

Yeah, OK.

I have not said so, so I don't know how you got the idea.

I have no problem believing that most journalists know more than Trump. I actually think that is rather obvious. And I think it is rather obvious that Trump is rather bad at listening to his experts.

By the way is your usual approach to assume that the president somehow must be right since he recieves advice from experts with access to classified information? Or does that only go in the Trump case?

Just like you don't have a problem believing any of the fake news slop the liberal media serves to you while you bury your face in the trough.

When the news broke the MSM were, very grudgingly, praising Trump with CNN's Erin Burnett's reaction being fairly typical:



Yup, "there's no way around it" no matter how much it might gall you to admit it.

You even heard similar comments on MSNBC!

Of course the MSM and the Democrats (increasingly one and the same thing) quickly got their act together and, within an hour after announcement, began scorning Trump's meeting the little pot-bellied gargoyle from North Korea (as well as mocking those who dared offer praise earlier^[1]).

They were back to their meme that Trump is a blithering moron^[2] who is way out of his league and Kim Jong-un is going to run all over him. Kind of like how they told us that Trump was going to be ignored or heckled at Davos only to be greeted with standing ovations.

Leon Panetta, who worked at various capacities for both the Clinton and Obama Administrations, fretted on CNN's Anderson Cooper's show, that Kim has "figured out Donald Trump and, what makes him tick" and expressed doubt that Trump can lay down "the kind of ground work that has to be laid for the kind of serious negotiations that are going to take place." For his part Cooper speculated that this might be a "major victory" for Kim as a "major boost to his legitimacy."

CNN correspondent Paula Hancocks repeated this line declaring that Trump had bumbled his way into "a massive trap." And echoed again on NBC's Today show by former Obama administration official who served under Penetta, Jeremy Bash. He proclaimed that Trump found himself out-smarted and got himself "boxed in here" and in spite of resulting in a potential major diplomatic coup declared that Trump has "actually made the situation a lot more dangerous."

Dutifully repeating this talking point James Clapper, who was Obama's Director of National Intelligence, declared that Kim was merely using Trump



While this is certainly possible he wouldn't even entertain the idea that this could be a major diplomatic breakthrough

After declaring that Trump deserves absolutely no credit here, former Kerry State Department spokesman John Kirby insisted that Kim was "running the table here."

Emphasizing the Trump-is-an-idiot meme, Samantha Vinograd, a former senior adviser on national security under Obama, resolutely claimed that Trump simply doesn't stand a chance.



This was reiterated over on MSNBC's Morning Joe1.2. Which is the left's knee-jerk characterization of every Republican president for the past half century or so

If you could point to any of what I have pointed to being fake I'd be interested. The above seems more like a personal attack than actually providing any reason.

The average journalist knows less than the average person, there's simply no comparison between them and Trump, a political genius the likes of which we haven't seen in decades.

Wolf Blitzer's turn on JEOPARDY is a classic.

I still have this one from well before the crash that I used for a poster named Becca who was a shrill nutter that loved to explode into babbling tirades: Becca.gif

Is this how desperate you are? You certainly need something of substance if you go that low.

You can't be serious.

Trump is an ignorant, barely literate, weak, easy-to-manipulate president and moral reprobate. By contrast the average journalist is well-informed and responsible.

Maybe Charles can whine at Charles about it?
