Opinion: So much for Hanoi. Trump has already done irreparable damage to America’s international reputation.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Trump at their summit in Hanoi on Thursday. By Anne Applebaum Anne Applebaum Columnist focusing on national politics and foreign policy Email Bio Follow Columnist February 28 at 3:44 PM Yes, the details were engrossing. The photograph of the empty lunch table where President Trump and Kim Jong Un were supposed to celebrate the deal they never signed.

I am afraid the events of the past day are proof that we won’t. Trump is creating facts on the ground that cannot be erased. On the Korean Peninsula, we have enhanced the power and prestige of one of the world’s bloodiest and cruelest dictators.

Great deal maker 😂🤣😂

Of course he has. He destroyed all trade treaties. Ignored allies. Clashed with foreign leaders. Isolated the US. He has given gigantic advantages to russia and china to take over the global economy

He is making America look as ridiculous as his hair.

Exactly

No...pretty sure that was Obama. Get the names correct in your stories. realDonaldTrump has done more for the US than anyother President since Reagan.

the SECOND he won that Election, America's reputation was in that Trash!!

Wow truth is the elephant in the room with u guys

Bull 👎🏻🤬‼️Total Propaganda!

So have you

What Dems has done? Always anti-Trump first, never stop, just like China's ally to destroy USA.

🤣🤣🤣

Guys, the guy is a Russian ASSET. He's PAID by Putin to create this CHAOS!

Why didn’t u criticize Obama when he bowed to the Saudi’s and apologized for America everywhere he went?

Now that’s the biggest BS story! Fact: Nations around the world now recognize America positively! The WP has no credible journalist or opinions!

WP Said in past; 1. OMG POTUS is going to create WWIII 2. OMG POTUS is going to make a bad deal with N. Korea NOW WP says; 3. OMG POTUS stopped the N. Korean threats. 4. OMG POTUS walks away with NO deal N. Korea because N. Korea won't denuclearize. WP forked tongue 🐍's

What did two leaders do in Vietnam? Is it right summit?

Propaganda. Leftist hit piece.

Barf-o-Rama fake tabloid WashingtonCompost news! The deal is not finished by any means. You are not paying attention LiberalLogicBafflesMe

Kim is laughing at him and us 😐

I wish I could read the article. The premise seems absurd.

You are so fake. FakeNewsMedia

Bone spur Coward in Chief has now done his tour of duty in Vietnam.

America's international reputation broke long time ago. it's only getting worse day by day...

Trump is a terrible guy in many ways. Forget a little about it. In spite he only pursues personal success and nurturing his ego, the idea of stop harassing a country, deactivating a nuclear crisis is not bad at all. At the end, beyond his infinite stupidity, he is right this time

China's build up during the Obama years didn't help either.

You know what they say about opinions, just like you little brown hole, everyone has one. And I can smell yours from 700 miles away

God bless Donald Trump!

Far from the damage Obama did

What did Obama do? At least he is trying!

Yep, he has...all by himself and the GOP that put him there. I saw nothing in candidate Trump that led me to believe anything different. He is unqualified for the role of president

Another expensive trip to re-inflate his ego with hot air.

Moronic opinion but of course you simpletons would tweet it. It is anti Trump....

And Obama let them shoot missles nonstop so whats you opinion of him. Obviously worse right?

This is the most uneducated, ignorant story every!!!

Irreparable damage to the Demonicratic party...MAGA2020

You America-hating leftist so-called 'journalists' keep pushing non-stop fake news b.s. One day, this is going to take an ugly turn

Same old, same crap. Send Obama over with a shed load of tax Dollars.

Bravo anneapplebaum

Reputation? Where? Canada? Germany? France? How are their leaders doing?

It’s reparable. Why not do your part? Making things worse is not “both-sides-ism”.

AMERICA HATES THE WASHINGTON POST!!

Who cares about our international image. You’re just mad that most Americans no longer want what the NWO is pushing. People are waking up

Trump has been the best president for international reputation he made our country look better than its looked in years

The rest of the world now sees that Trump will not compromise on national security. Unfortunately millions of NOKO people remain as Communist slaves because of Kim. Let's all hope that President Trump is successful in negotiating the full denuclearization of NOKO.

The US lost it's credibility when Bush war criminals went unquestioned and no justice was granted to innocent victims. Iraq exposed that international law only applies to others and not those who wrote it.

What is America' reputation ? To contribute to the world peace, your Trump seems to have been checking the dangers in person. I can't really understand your medias, which have sharp and tough mouth against Mr.Trump, enjoying delicious bread and luxury dream he tries seek.

WE KNOW!!!!!!!!

President Trump’s critics may not without conspicuous hypocrisy repeat the unproven allegations of a proven serial liar, cheat, and con man (Mr. Cohen) as if they were established truths. How can any decent person trust the words of this disbarred shameless prison-bound wretch?

You are a laughing stock. Watching the Cohen hearings from Australia, I've never seen a worst bunch of ignorant, low hanging fruit on the GOP side.

I guess the writer has to make money writing senseless political hits. biasedmedia

Reputation? Has it ever existed in US.

Donald looks glum, how did it happen?

What damage? Should he have offered $$$ for a hollow promise? NO! That's Democrats solution!

Yep. Look like a bunch of clowns....

I applaud Trump for his efforts in Asia. An American president seeking peace is the only path to peace. He may have fallen short of an ideal goal, but he’s a lot better than the last few clowns, that’s for sure.

You post way too much opinion. I thought you were a news organization

He got elected, the GOP are along for the ride, regardless of the cost to America, he favored Putin, KBS and Kim above his own state intelligence, what does that say about the electorate

You can’t blame Trump for the Hanoi fiasco , the same day of the meeting or hours before you have Cohen dismantling POTUS , the timing was wrong , so in order to show some results he walks Away , and Suddenly Reykjavik comes to light !! All Wrong from the start !!

What a backwards opinion 😂

Americans international reputation? Like war mongers who kill millions of people around the world for oil or because they didn't like their leaders Or perhaps funding terrorism and radical groups Illegal sanctions ? Supporting apartheid Israel? That reputation?

Oh, the Washington Post. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. The Washington Post has a collection of them. They call them editorial writers. nytimes

Which reputation are you referring to? War mongering, arms manufacturing, creating puppet regimes, arrogant and entitled tourists, rampant and unregulated consumerism, world policing, celebrity soap boxing...? Just wondering if you’d please clarify?

And yet.....crickets from the Republican Congress. And yet.....polls showing Trumptard approval remains stable.

POTUS is a worldwide political and social leper. Only z-zone dictators and autocrats embrace his dumb agitation.

I Never knew there are also wailing media in the US realDonaldTrump

He walked when he couldn't get a decent outcome. Good on him .the only joke here is the Washington post as usual

Another shitty opinion from a blogger at wapo

What reputation?

Credibility under Don the Con Trump, LOL.

Who wrote this, a 12 year old?

FACT-Our allies, NATO, Intelligence, pundits and the intelligent (MAGAs excluded) agree! We are a joke on the global front. Our allies can't/don't depend on us. World leaders laugh openly at Donald Trump during UN summit.Thanks to Trump, Germany says it can’t rely on the U.S.

Before you have to change underwear, remember this country is strong, resilient, resourceful and angry. Coming together to work out how all of us working together are healing, building and enjoying this great land. Soon.

The president realized his scenario. In my opinion, he planned to be there as much time as he was, a master of building tension.

'Irreparable damage' is bullshit, the greatest potential for repair is to make this orange POTUS black, by not re-electing him.

You’re not just fake news you’re dangerous .

His bone spurs must have been acting up!!!!

It is endless!

iraq leader hang libya leader shot after give up weapons so why should north korea give up weapons

Where were these headlines and opinion columnists when they were actually true, under the Obama administration? You guys are five years behind schedule. democracydiesindarkness

Very sobering.

ImpeachTheMF !

It's not the first time an American got beat up in Hanoi

Forget Hanoi? Would that be because the Vietnamese *love* Trump and you need to focus on something, anything, to support your flagging narrative? 🤔

You're not fooling us Washington Poopoo, You're just a rogue from an rogue element of the C1A, but now that those are expelled, yo're a dinosaur on the way out.

What happened to the ' Bromance '? More like ' wham bam thank you ma'am. Kim did the old ' I love you, the check is in the mail and I promise not to c*m in your mouth.

Trump damages America's reputation daily.

His boss, Putin is very Proud of him and his Fascist, Repub Party of Tools. The Russian Asset is Delivering the goods for America's Enemy. As the World looked on in Dismay. Astounded by the Impotence of America against the Diabolical Puppeteer, Smirking from the Kremlin. Sad.

So what? Does WP want to request U.S. government not to try to improve the relationship with hostile country? At least Trump tried to negotiate with the enemy instead of leave it as it was. We only make peace with our enemy, not our friends.

An sorry example of when you take the 'making a quick buck' policy onto a very complicated international stage.

Think Obama did that

Trying to secure peace is harming our international reputation? What kind of superficial nonsense is that!

Pres Trump is repairing the harm Obama did with his apology tour, bowing to foreign leaders and letting nations walk all over us

Maybe now Trump will understand why no other President has engaged North Korea. realDonaldTrump

WaPo is no longer a credible news source.

NotMyPresident

So much for all that 'winning...!'

You're lying as always. The one who walks, is the strong one.

With the right person as our next President in 2020 all that can be rectified.

Why? Because they're not a pariah state and have something to lose. If NK can become economically open and start getting rich (better late than never) the nukes will stop being such a huge issue even if they're still there.

Opinion | Trump’s hubris and inexperience set up the failure in HanoiTrump’s entire outreach to North Korea has been built on a mountain of misconceptions.

Opinion | The Hanoi summit failure exposes Trump’s weak diplomacyHe was right to reject Kim’s empty promises, but failure was all but inevitable because of the president’s scattershot approach to the dangerous nation.

Trump-Kim summit offers Hanoi artists inspiration -- and a quick buckThe summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appears to have yielded little politically. But in the host city of Hanoi, Vietnam, quick-thinking creatives from painters to T-shirt designers have been taking inspiration -- and, in some cases, made sales -- from the buzz surrounding the meeting. Well at least they both got hair issues in common! Lol The Trump impersonator looks like a combination of Trump and Lindsey Graham. Especially Jim Acosta impersonating a reporter.

Takeaways from the Trump-Kim Hanoi summitPresident Donald Trump arrived in Hanoi eager to demonstrate progress in his high-wire diplomacy with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, confident that his personal touch could bring Kim closer to abandoning his nuclear weapons. Trump caved like the coward he is. That, or he took his marching orders from his puppet master, Vladimir Putin. Yes, we say Lavrov was in town too. Impeach trump!

Not so fast, Chairman Kim: Hanoi summit disappoints, but Trump shines: COLUMNPres. Trump made the smart choice to walk away from nuclear disarmament talks with North Korea at the leadership level—at least for the time being, former Trump Homeland Security Adviser to Tom Bossert writes. Oh ok, let me see if i got this right: realDonaldTrump made a stupid decision to meet a despot and made a smart decision to walk away from his own stupid decision? I feel like i’m living in a washing machine during the spin cycle... What else could be done. Kim is a little thug.
