KJU - where is the proof any of the past Presidents have had a dialog with N. Korea? He is the only one who has gotten N. Korea to do things! Maybe not much but it is a true start. "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" Oriental quote!
Your Quote:"with the NAFTA renegotionations with Mexico and Canada" Both Canada and Mexico specifically stated they were not going to renegotiate NAFTA. Low and behold there is a new NAFTA agreement by both countries.
Let's add another - China. Tried to negotiate trade with China and they said no, so tariffs were placed and the normal reaction tariffs are placed by the other side. This lead to the sky is falling by the Dems. Yet in the paper yesterday China economy is faltering and that China is getting now in the mood and starting to put forth effort to want to talk about trade deals now!

The only thing that was accomplished with the KJU meeting is that he got the sucker trump to meet with him without actually promising to end his nuclear program. It was nothing more than a propaganda photo op for KJU.
In the new trade agreement with Mexico and Canada, just what did the USA get out of it? Almost nothing!
The trade wars and tariffs with China are still holding our farmers and manufacturers hostage.
The farmers can't ship their crops.
The government shutdown is preventing their Agriculture Relief Checks from going out.
Manufacturers are having to pay higher costs for their raw goods with tariff charges being tacked onto the invoices for their parts. Yes I see those charges on the invoices that I process daily! Those costs are being passed on to customers in the form of higher priced goods.
The stock market fell 660.02 points again today, closing at 22,686.22.
800,000 Federal Workers are either furloughed, or have been working without pay for almost 2 weeks now, and trump is digging in his heels (ouch, those bone spurs must be hurting an awful lot about now), refusing to budge on his vanity wall.
Our National Parks are being trashed because the Park Service employees aren't allowed to police the parks, or oversee the facilities.
The sooner that trump realizes that he's not going to get a penny from Nancy Pelosi's House, the better off he'll be.
The majority of American v**ers do NOT want to fund the vanity wall, when the Federal Budget is out of control, and the 2017 Tax Cut Bill only added to the Debt and Deficit. One month of higher tax collections doesn't offset the tax losses in the other months.
