President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Hanoi on Feb. 28. By Paul Waldman Paul Waldman Opinion writer covering politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 25 at 3:02 PM Like other presidents before him, Donald Trump has failed to negotiate a deal to eliminate North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.
The presentation of the invoice — not previously disclosed by U.S. or North Korean officials — was extraordinarily brazen even for a regime known for its aggressive tactics. Imagine for a moment the paroxysms of rage Fox News and the rest of the conservative media would be in right now if this had happened during the Obama administration. They’d cry that President Barack Obama was a traitor, a weakling, someone unfit to walk past the White House, let alone sit in the Oval Office. There would be a week’s worth of spittle-flecked segments about the shame brought upon us by our pathetic excuse for a president.
That performance was so appalling that even many Republicans were disgusted with the president. Nevertheless, one might be able to say that it was worth it for Trump to debase himself in that manner if it had actually produced some kind of breakthrough with Pyongyang. Why? What it comes down to is that Trump has an absurd faith in his alleged negotiating prowess, which we long ago realized was a fiction. He has so much faith in it, in fact, that he never bothered to familiarize himself with the relevant facts on the subject of North Korea and nuclear weapons. Before the first Trump-Kim summit last June, the New York Times reported that “aides who have recently left the administration say Mr.
What stupid people. Trump's at least attempting to deal with North Korea.
Kim Jong-Un has been playing Trump like a puppet. Pathetic.
POTUS is played like a toddler by a Z-list dictator. DerangedDonald
Kim Jong Un and Putin are real Gangsters and tRUMP, well he's Fredo
Any guesses as to where those $s came from?
So much winning.
So far Trump achieved much more than Obama when it comes to North Korea or any other foreign policy
So he paid 2 million for a dead prisoner! That was not what he said at the time! He said he was on such good terms with Kim, that Kim just gave us our American back!
Trump is really a weak, cowardice, sleazy, destructive, mentally unstable FRAUD. If you cannot see that your brain belongs in the toilet. End of story. After murdering OttoWarmbier, that assh0le Kim now is sending the US a 2-million dollar bill for 'taking care' of Warmbier!
What a deal maker!
How so? So the rocketman kid did not get what he wanted from realDonaldTrump and he runs to see if someone else will listen to him. That is humiliation to whom? RudyGiuliani realannapaulina JackPosobiec seanhannity
Wake up deal done already! Bullshit fakenews
NK used IQ45 to get on the world stage. And with the 2 Mill he received he got much needed funds for his country.
Trump is the 🐐
*sniff sniff* smells like media desperation.

realDonaldTrump is a political humiliation waiting to happen.
He's being played by both Russia and North Korea

Love, love is strange... Old song.
Rocket-man! No more rocket.
North Korea try to blackmail U.S, and realDonaldTrump accept that. This's bad,it prove realDonaldTrump is useless.
BS!
Donald Trump doesn't care. Love is blind and he loves the guy.
Trump...just one shameful act after another. He is a walking humiliation on the world stage.
Why am I not surprised? The great negotiator is a joke. What he is is a narcissistic bully, and Kim and Putin are killing trump. No morals, no ethics, no credibility ...
Anyone gonna go behind the paywall or just gonna run with it? Yea, that’s what I thought.
Trump is being played internationally, but his supporters don’t notice.
How is this humiliating for Trump? I don’t get it. As long as he doesn’t pay it, who cares? Obama would’ve paid it. No doubt about that
your pathetic fake news hack bullshit is tired AF
Obama was a mistake and failed his nation
Best Korea. The correct is Best Korea.
This is how a real leader treats an underling.
Wonder if Putin showed Kim the pee pee tape?
I'm just old enough to remember when Trump promised there would be 'so much winning'.
Did he pay it out of his own money out of the generosity of his heart? Wait, ha - no way
This is So horrible. Just when I think it can’t get any worse! The Trump-hole must be stopped!
WaPo. Enemy of the Public. WaPo. Trump haters.
DerangedDonald aka realDonaldTrump needs to fork over that money out of his pocket and stop hosting those stupid summits for that airfilled grown child (including realDonaldTrump )
Et Tu Kim Jong UN!
Trump is being out trumped.. by Kim and Putin .. it ain’t that hard let’s face it
Liberal propaganda
The role assigned to Jong-un by Putin is humiliator by proxy.
IMPEACH realDonaldTrump
Every post I think 'one more humiliation for WAPO.'
realDonaldTrump: '$2 million is a small price to pay to be able to crow in front of the cameras for 15 minutes!'
