I totally agree he probably got elected because of grade school language. That says alot about America more than it does Trump. You basically using words that any 5 grader should know is not difficult or subterfuge. When you are in your preteens and teens you insult people this way because thats what everyone does but at some point you grow up. In a position of power that effect billions, you learn that someone your enemy can easily become your ally and treating people with respect but still be firm in your position is what separate a leader from the average bum off the street. As you say if politicians go down the namecalling, personal attacks route discourse becomes harder and it takes us closure instead of futher from a solution that does not involve war. |
While I agree to some extent you have to look at history. How many Presidents have treated N Korea with white gloves? We pulled out weapons and agreed to pull out more for more cooperation. We gave Humanitarian aid which was diverted to Kims personal pockets and his missle programs. N Korea has skirted around sanctions for over a decade and shows no sign that they are willing to play ball with anyone. Without Nukes everyone leaves them alone and he has the chance to make his country great, instead he chooses to continue down the nuke path and pretty much gaurantee his demise. Nobody wants him to have nukes or build his military any more. I think China is starting to realize the more power he has the worse it is for them.
