TO EVERYONE ARGUING TRUMP SHOULDN'T TALK TO NORTH KOREA: If getting Kim to the table isn't the point of sanctions, and war's a bad idea, what's the strategy? No one capitulates. Ever. But sometimes in talks they give something to get something. If there's no good deal, walk away.
This is a variation on the no-confidence-in-Trump criticism. As you know, I'm quite critical of him as well. But I think the effect is much more dependent on the results of the meeting than having the meeting itself (though I share some skepticism that the meeting will succeed).

Why would we have confidence in Trump? Trump has gone out of his way to exhibit authoritarian impulses, has consistently failed to protect the US from Russian cyberwarfare tactics and has shown a disinterest in both American interests and those of our allies. Topper-over 2k lies

I didn't say we should.

So is the no confidence in Trump criticism valid or not?
