"Donald Trump Has Successfully Cleaned Up North Korea's Brand"
"Only a couple months ago, North Korea’s brand was synonymous with some of the worst and most menacing threats to global stability. Horrendous human rights violations. The prospect of nuclear war. Debilitating cyberattacks."
"The summit has significantly strengthened North Korea’s brand. They got conditional re-admittance to the respected community of nations."
"The most enduring result of the summit may well be that North Korea emerges with a significantly enhanced global image. They are now viewed as a relatively reasonable and even respected actor on the world stage. In all likelihood, the country will enjoy this position while still retaining its nuclear weapons."

So Kim got legitimacy, a postponement of US/South Korea military operations, a US commitment to lesson sanctions while offering the prospect of substantial outside aid and investment
Other than another promise to denuclearize, what substantially did the great dealer maker get for the US?

Trump gave away the farm. He called a ruthless dictator, smart, funny and talented. He said his people love him. Trump suggested that NK would be happy to denuke. Really, what is North Korea without nukes? Sorry, but Trump blew a big one.

Is that something? What does that mean, "a process?" Is that an agreement to agree on something?
It was a serious question, I'm having a difficult time understanding what the US accomplished in Singapore compared to what North Korea gained
Waiting for any conservative to explain it

What exactly did Obama do to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize?

He got another piece of paper from the North Koreans saying "Yeah, sure, we're going to 'de-nuclearize'.
Plus, a big photo op for his base to rally around. There will be Parades with Huge Banners exclaiming "Peace in Our Time". Aloyisious, PMP, volsrock, sirthinksalot, and Eagle eye will be out front with giant American Flags followed by dancing Cheerleaders.
The News Conference Trump gave after the Signing actually sounded optimistic and positive. I hope it's true and Trump was able to 'read' Kim Jong-Un. Maybe we can get a Peace Treaty, that WOULD be a start.
When you start a race, is that nothing?
I guess Trump should have done nothing like Obama and we can be in the same place in 10 years.
Yeah, real good.... Hey kids, don't start college, it takes years to get a degree, you don't get squat your first day, so do nothing.
