Sarah Sanders tamps down expectations ahead of Trump's summit with Kim in Vietnam: "[Trump] has had great success here in the fact they were able to even sit down at the table. The fact he is able to do it again is in itself a big success."

Why is this meeting a 'success'? I guess when you're losing on every other front, you will declare victory wherever you can?

(82,849 posts)Kim has already "won" this episode because getting a face-to-face meeting with the U.S. President has been a goal of the Kim family literally for generations. Trump's reckless disregard of America's foreign policy conferred instant credibility on Kim, provided succor to his murderous regime, and hurt immeasurably the cause of dissidents everywhere. Same thing happened with Dutarte of the Philippines and Erdogan of Turkey.
