North Korea was never going to denuclearize, and this is probably posturing before talks. But still. Trump and Trumpist media declaring victory before the meeting took place was very stupid. Obviously stupid at the time, and even more obviously stupid now.https://twitter.com/joshjonsmith/status/996576704054181888 …

But the mainstream media really didn’t help. So desperate to find something nice to say about Trump to show “balance” and counter charges of “bias,” they acquiesced to the Fox News narrative on North Korea, saying “credit where it’s due.” 3/x

North Korea’s showing the limits of Trump’s bullshitting. With hyperpartisanship, and friendly media providing a domestic propaganda apparatus, you can fool a large voter base. But that bullshit doesn’t work on foreign countries. International relations is a higher level game 4/x

What’s so frustrating is we told you. Repeatedly. Of course North Korea isn’t going to denuclearize. Of course they’re being manipulative. Didn’t need to be an expert to figure that out. But we kept shouting it. The confidently ignorant POTUS, and his fans, wouldn’t listen. (END)

It didn’t take long for the foolishness to be exposed. This administration is so outmatched on the international front it’s positively frightening.
