Obama was good friends with the Saudis. And every president going back to the clintons, maybe all the way back to nixon, has been good with china. Putin not so much. Obama and him definitely were not friends.

It's true that American foreign policy in the Middle East has been a trainwreck since at least the Iranian Revolution. Donald Trump has done nothing to change that. In fact he has enabled even more Saudi shenanigans than possibly every other POTUS in recent history. Meeting with Kim yielded pretty much nothing beyond granting the Divine Emperor in all but name legitimacy. At least swapping the idiot in charge right now for Biden will put a stop to pointless insults at allies, headless foreign policy and cuddling up to even more authoritarian dickheads.

Just a little piece on Obama china relations. Was Obama openly praising massacres? No he wasn't, but he certainly had no issue being friends with people who abused human rights. Trump is just more open about how little he gives a fuck about human rights. With Trump, there is no filter or attempt to sound remotely friendly. He just speaks whatever is on his mind. He never says "how will people other than my fans react to this?"

Biden would not insult our allies but headless foreign policy would definitely be his thing. It's why they bombed Libya in 2011, turning the country into a hellhole. And as for tyrants, theyll just be less open about supporting them. Biden is everything trump but with a fake facade of "guys we're the good guys." No we aren't. We've been a pariah state for years.

What love letter? Trump says a lot of dumb shit and some of it is to troll people like you. You’ve probably fallen for it

Given that Donald Trump doesn't even bother informing himself via the daily briefs the intelligence community prepares for him it is very likely he's been completely hoodwinked by some simple gestures of appreciation from people like Kim.

Trump says he plans to resume travel next week with trip to Arizona.

I suspect we'll see people requiring to wear masks but he won't, or they won't at all. That should be interesting to watch. There's also still the speculation that he'll pardon Roger Stone. I can see that being controversial.

I'm sure he'll try. The GOP keeps coddling him.

Never said it was sarcasm or a joke but that Trump does troll a lot of people.

In this case it seems he’s trying to butter up Kim to get a better deal
