.MaddowBlog: North Korea talks up ‘new strategic weapon’ as Pres. Trump’s policy fails.
In the summer of 2018, Donald Trump was so confused about his engagement with North Korea that he started making boasts about having “solved” the problem posed by the rogue nuclear state. As the Republican put it after a summit with Kim Jung-un, “There is no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea.”
In the months that followed, as North Korea engaged in missile testing that Trump pretended didn’t exist, the American president continued to pat his own back, telling Fox News what a “great job” he was doing with North Korea. Reflecting on the road ahead, the Republican added that there’s “great progress being made.
Trump gambled on a curious strategy in which he’d make a series of bold concessions to the rogue nuclear state, in exchange for nothing. Indeed, as regular readers know, the Republican gave the North Korean leader the bilateral talks he wanted. And the international legitimacy he wanted. And the cessation of military exercises he wanted. And the public praise he wanted. And the propaganda opportunities he wanted.
