To use one of President Trump's favorite words, the Hanoi Summit between him and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un was a disaster.
Trump dropped a key demand that North Korea make a full accounting of its nuclear program. And in return Trump got nothing. If this wasn't bad enough, Trump exonerated Kim for any responsibility of the death of American student Otto Warmbier who was taken hostage in North Korea in 2016. "He tells me he didn't know about it, and I will take him at his word," Trump incredulously claimed. Just like when he believed Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman feigning ignorance about the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. BTW, guess who Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner met with yesterday.
This isn't America First. It isn't even America Second. It's America Dead Last. But I'm sure Trump probably still believes he deserves that Nobel Peace Prize for which he pleaded with Japanese PM Shinzo Abe to nominate him.
This sums up the Trump presidency perfectly. Trump arrived in Hanoi with zero and now he has left with less than zero. You could say that Trump has hit a wall.
