How many "predictions" have there been now? How many have come to fruition? Let's see, cheap, high quality healthcare for everyone - nope.
Getting rid of Obamacare - nope, just trying to get it to die from neglect.
No Wall.
No fabulous infrastructure program that will put everyone to work and fix all the broken roads/bridges, etc.
The tax break that went to big business to enable them to give raises and bonuses to their employees ended up providing raises and bonuses to just 10 of the top 100 US manufacturers, the rest of them used the money to pay down debt, which is what economists predicted would happen.
And, by the way, the Harley Davidson plant that Paul Ryan visited is closing it's doors, 800 jobs lost, 340 of them moving to another US plant. Oh, and Harley is opening a new plant - in Thailand - probably because they're afraid of a huge jump in the cost of steel due to Trump's trade wars.
Didn't lock Clinton up.
Didn't (yet) get to round up all the non whites and Muslims and reverse immigrate them, but I'm certain he's still working hard on that one.
Didn't decrease our debt - in fact, he made it explode.
MAGA folks.

Yep. Trump and his administration are the Make America Great Again Team. MAGAT for short. Mostly appropriate, but there is a difference. Maggots find rotting things to feed on. MAGATS create their own rot.

Satire from The Borowitz ReportTrump Furious After Nobel Committee Gives Him Participation TrophyBy Andy Borowitz WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump was reportedly furious after the Nobel committee informed him on Thursday that he would not receive a Nobel Peace Prize but would get a participation trophy instead. In Oslo, a Nobel spokesman said that Trump would have the distinction of becoming the first world leader to receive such a trophy, also known as the Nobel Consolation Prize. The spokesman displayed the prize, a gold-painted plastic trophy measuring eleven inches in height and featuring a small man at its pinnacle, holding a tiny laurel wreath over his head.

Trump doesn't need their stinking peace prizes. He can make his own.
Just like his habit of making fake Time magazine covers showing him 'man of the year' - then framing them and hanging them in his golf resorts.
Guarantee, the Trump Tower and all the golf resorts will each have their own authentic Nobel prize statue with Trump's name on it, displayed prominently under a gold and silver MAGA banner.
Real or fake doesn't mean anything anymore. Reality is what you want it to be, and how much money you have to make it true.

Trump cancelled the summit. There goes his peace prize. GOP Senators with egg on their face. I think maybe our current regime has a spy on this forum and they found out that nominations for this year's nobel price for peace are closed so they decided this should wait another year to get better recognition (deep state in action)

That is the difference between business and government. You can walk away from negotiations for a new golf course and never look back. The world just ends up without one more golf course. You can't just walk away from negotiations with North Korea.

I do a lot of instruction, and suffice it to say this is not the advanced class. NK does this all.the.time.
To every single president.
Promise they will talk, insist on certain conditions, stomp off in a huff, declare they're going to bomb us, promise they will talk about again, etc etc.
Anyone who has even halfway been paying attention over the last few decades knows the dance.
Which is why we laughed when you started this ridiculous thread and did your post touchdown high fives and end zone dance - it was too early to celebrate. It's still too early to celebrate. It will continue to be too early to celebrate until Kim places his chubby fingers on the pen and inks the final deal - and even that won't be the end of it, because it's NK, and they're all bat shit psychotic.
But now Trump's left standing like a fool, holding a box of silly commemorative medals he made for a meeting that probably won't ever happen, and all his boosts about the Nobel Peace prize have been captured in sound bites and will be played over and over again, in the upcoming election cycle, along with all his other very public failures.
Loser. Again.

Waiting to cut out the deadwood Waiting to clean up the city Waiting to follow the worms Waiting to put on a black shirt Waiting to weed out the weaklings Waiting to smash in their windows And kick in their doors Waiting for the final solution To strengthen the strain Waiting to follow the worms Waiting to turn on the showers And fire the ovens Waiting for the queens and the coons And the reds and the Jews
Waiting to follow the worms -Roger Waters

He is teaching me about those who believe emotional logic, not facts. Thing is, he doesn't actually believe it. He's pitching it, hoping to find someone who IS dumb enough to believe it. Truth doesn't matter. Convincing someone of untruth does.

Kim must be looking for June 12th playdate. In an odd twist, a list of potential concessions by North Korea in the CIA analysis included the possibility that Kim Jong Un may consider offering to open a Western hamburger franchise in Pyongyang as a show of goodwill, according to three national security officials.
It suggests Kim is interested in a peaceful gesture to an American president whose love of fast-food burgers is well known — and who, during the 2016 campaign, had said he wanted to talk nukes over a burger with the North Korean leader.
CIA report says North Korea won't denuclearize, but might open a burger joint I Wonder if any of the Singapore McDonald locations have a Playplace?
