Opinion | Jeff McCausland: 'So much for that Nobel Peace Prize. What happened in Hanoi says a great deal about how Trump perceives his own negotiating skills.' - NBCNewsTHINK

One of Trump’s biggest mistakes was his assumption that Kim needs the U.S. to dramatically improve its economic situation, and thus the nukes for sanctions trade makes sense. This is not accurate. An improved economy is not an ends for Kim, but rather ato avoid social unrest and gain access to Western goods and technologies to modernize his military. But his primary goal is to maintain his iron-clad control over the regime.

the demise of both Moammar Gadhafi and Saddam Hussein. The lesson was clear: Forfeiture of a nation’s nuclear weapons program was an invitation for destruction.

THINK Trump believes he has a magic wand and can forgive and change people like Putin, Kim Jong Un into saints. They recognize him as a wannabe dictator that wants their favor.

THINK After 0bama’s phony award the Nobel is useless , he got one for dividing America then set the mid east on fire , people are still dying a decade later .

THINK BS! Let’s see what you can do!

THINK Every world leader knows trumps a moron that's as easy to manipulate as a three year old. Sorry, that's not fare to three year old's, you have to actually give them a cookie.

THINK Who is McCausland and who made him an expert? President Trump has done more to improve relationships with NK than previous Dems presidents

THINK Played like a hillbilly fiddle ...

THINK Ronald Reagan walked out on a meeting with Gorbachev. They met again and again and finally signed one of the greatest nuclear reduction treaties in history. The MEDIA also attacked Reagan. Trump will get the treaty he wants before he returns to private life.

THINK no bell.

THINK Maybe realDonaldTrump will get the Ignoble Piece Prize. He is, after all, a piece of work that’s far from noble.

THINK He was NEVER worthy of a Nobel Prize! He couldn’t even win at the Westminister Dog Show! But he might win one of these real awards... “The Foot In Mouth Award” Dumbest Comment by a Public Figure, or maybe the “Stinky Shoe Award” Worst Odor in a Pair of Sneakers!! GOP DUMP TRUMP!!

THINK He has none unless lawyers are involved

THINK bashtrumpmedia shxt news nbc

THINK He’s talked to him in person twice, chill out...gotta build a little trust between each other first. If it doesn’t work, he tried. No other president can say that.

THINK So, who's paying for the wall?

THINK This clown doesn’t deserve the prize in a Cracker Jack box, never mind the Nobel Peace Prize.

THINK Give it a rest NBC. So disappointed with NBC.

THINK A Nobel Prize for the guy that: - ashamed of his school grades - overstated his accomplishments - has 9,014 (as of 3/3/19) documented lies and misleading claims - a draft dodger - and much more... Only the delusional princeling mind of Trump could think he deserved a Nobel.

THINK That's a unfair & harsh opinion. He's afterall a businessman & a bad deal is a bad deal. He would have pretended everything is good & signed the deal to save face but he didn't. He should be credited for putting American's interest above his ego for an egoistic man like Trump

THINK Trump should get an IgNobel Peace Prize

THINK

THINK He's a stunted guppie in an ocean of sharks.

THINK We all should wonder why the Democrats Questions Michael Cohen exactly the same day of the Denuclearization meeting Between president Trump and Kim Joung un maybe the north Korean generals told Kim don't trust Trump no even in his country trust him .bad democrats

THINK 'I don't need preparation, it's all about attitude'

THINK Obama won a Nobel peace prize, then he proceeded to drop bombs on the mideast and north Africa averaging a bomb every 20 minutes for 8 years. So much for that prize.

THINK Walking away is part of the negotiating process. Trump got this despot to stop firing missiles over Japan. That's a helluva lot more than the last 3 presidents were able to do. After Obama the Nobel became a participation trophy. Meaningless now!

THINK Unlike the last administration he didn’t sneakily hand over billions of dollars on pallets..TRUMP2020

THINK Organizers of 'Unite the Right' rally drop lawsuit against Charlottesville

THINK Soooo, you would rather him make the same deal past Presidents have all made in the past, which ultimately caused Hawaii to realistically think that they were getting bombed just over a year ago? I'm confused on what timeframe expectations are comparable in nature?

THINK Nobel Prize in fiction still up for grabs.

THINK worst photo op/fake negotiation ever.

THINK Maybe Trump can fix the election for members of the Swedish Academy that picks Nobel Prize winners. The Oscars have Lifetime Achievement Award maybe he can get the reality TV version of the worst performance of a President trying to make a deal. The Bulgy Award?

THINK He got played like a fiddle. His ego won't allow for advice. A hard head makes a soft ass.

THINK

THINK No one understands what Kim wants. Kim is evil. I am happy with ignoring No Ko, as other presidents have. Take our chances.

THINK This Tweet proves the elites don't know much about how things work in real life_at all. ElitesAreActuallyStupid

THINK Well, at least he wasn’t dumb enough to actually give in to Kim. I guess that’s something.

THINK Kim played him like an ol' yo-yo, Then snapped the string-along, Bounced him on the floor, And out the door!

THINK Was never going to happen anyway. The rest of the world laughs at Trump, he is the antonym of peace.

THINK Celebrate much? I thought an attempt at reducing nuclear tensions would be bi-partisan.

THINK Gee, another failure for POTUS.

THINK ...or lack of. Obviously has a self-inflated image of his abilities. He is lacking in any ability to negotiate. All postering and no substance.

THINK So people don't want peace in Korean Peninsula because it may get someone else an award is what this says. Take the award off the table and get the peace anyway.

THINK StupidTrump

THINK

THINK Just like Bezos showed us, walking away is part of negotiating...

THINK NBC says no more negotiations. Show is cancelled I guess.

THINK

THINK Trump's 'Negotiating Skill' is.. do what I say or your fired ... when it fails.. it's your fault not mine. That'd be Trump.

THINK

THINK Clearly, Trump is a horrible negotiator. Art of the Deal was a fraud.

THINK At least it would have been deserved, unlike Obama's.

THINK Yeah, that Nobel peace prize is looking more and more like a long shot.

THINK

THINK Shit? Is it shit? I bet it's shit

THINK This fool here was never going to weasel out a Nobel.

Opinion | Why are progressives more focused on disagreeing with Trump than countering a dictator?The proper response is not to castigate Trump for opposing the strongman in Venezuela but to urge him to do more to oppose other despots. TDS Why are liberal media more focused on defending the empire than anything else?
