MSM scramble to find reasons to ridicule Trump's North Korea triumph
Thomas Lifson: Three reasons why North Korea's offer of direct talks is a victory for Trump . . . "Now, make no mistake: there is no guarantee that the forthcoming talks will be successful. But the framework is far more favorable than for any other previous negotiations with the Norks. They must realize that Trump is a different kind of president from the ones they have been able to lie to and extort and bamboozle while they keep going toward an effective nuclear strike force capability. All of the many critics who fretted that President Trump could blunder our way into nuclear war have egg on their faces."
"If you expected the media to hail North Korea's urgent request for talks –from the position of supplicant – you have underestimated the force of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Only one mainstream media figure came close to acknowledging the potential for greatness. Poor Erin Burnett of CNN apparently didn't get the message before going on air and acknowledging the upside potential of this development.
"Lawrence Bonk of the Media Research Center:
. . . "Samantha Vinograd, of the Obama national security adviser's staffer that did nothing to stop North Korea's nuke program, is dead certain that there simply is not enough time, a view from within the box of failed diplomacy:" . . .CNN's Erin Burnett had some startling words for the president, should he pull off denuclearizing the country.Burnett actually said that he would go down as a "great president" if his talks with Jong Un go well.

Make that five administrations before Mr. Trump came along.
CNN's Camerota Demands Democrat Give Trump Credit for NoKo Meeting, Other ‘Successes’ . . . "While speaking with guest Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Camerota asked the Democrat what he thought about the agreed to meeting. Of course, he had only negative things to say, doubting the meeting would go anywhere and also calling it a “risky” move “which seems to validate this totalitarian regime.”

"Surprisingly the CNN anchor gave some pushback. “But do you give President Trump credit for the economic sanctions that have allowed this to happen and brought Kim Jong-un to the table?” she asked.
"Blumenthal predictably gave Democrats credit for the sanctions, saying Trump bowed to their pressure. Again, Camerota pushed back, asking, “Why do you say he only reluctantly imposed the sanctions, when he, let’s be honest, he is the first U.S. President to come this far with North Korea. Doesn't that say that he is doing something different?' ” . . . CNN? Really?

"FOR ALL THE TALK ABOUT TRUMP BEING AN INCOMPETENT TODDLER, I notice that Saudi Arabia is liberalizing at a previously unimaginable pace, other Asian countries are siding with us against China, and now Trump’s going to meet with Kim Jong Un, which if he were a Democrat would be celebrated as a masterstroke no matter what the results. But my favorite take is actually Trump’s:
