Trump gamed in North Korea



Shapiro calls it a big nothingburger (558). It's even worse: Trump gave away a lot in return for nothing. And I've been hoping T would have a big win in this. (I'm not hoping for his failure).
Give aways:
  1. Giving Kim face and publicity
  2. Stopping "war games" (NK terminology).
  3. Because they are "provocative". (NK terminology).
  4. Easing sanctions. According to KCNA
In return:
A vague one pager which is less binding than previous ones all of which have been cheated on.
In all looks like Trump has been gamed.
