You get the same input and come out with he's a "fucking clown".

I think the difference is the prism that we are viewing info from. You take what CNN and MSNBC say as good news reporting. I look at them as completely biased and filtering everything through an anti-Trump bias.

Yes Mark...there is a NEGOTIATION. And you have to be willing to walk away from the table.
And of course there isn't a deal yet. That's what the negotiations are for.

And the build up to actually meeting is a vital part of any negotiation. It determines who is going to start out with leverage.

Trump has the leverage right off the bat because he is the President Of The United States. So you can't blame Kim Jung Un for trying to get leverage.

So he made the U.S. team sit in Singapore for 3 days and his team never showed up and went dark on all communication with them.
And then he made threats (again) to destroy the U.S. with nuclear weapons.

Then Trump said I'm sorry...but I'm canceling the summit.

THEN...North Korea did a 180 degree turn and released that statement last night with a peaceful tone.

As of today, Trump is saying the meeting MIGHT still happen.

Mark...to me that is a masterful piece of work by Trump. He is doing what nobody else has done.
You are a very smart guy...and to see you caught up in the hatred of Trump and be blinded shows me that it can happen to the smartest of people.

I don't mean that in a smart-ass way. I mean it very sincerely. This illogical hatred of Trump and denouncing of everything he does is affecting half the people.
Doesn't matter if you are dumb as a rock, or smart as a whip...the emotions of it seem to blind people to the truth.
