NO MATTER WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP DOES or does not do, the Democrats find fault.
There is a suspicion that when there’s nothing to embarrass the president, they invent something.
Politics as usual?
THERE IS NO QUESTION that the president’s tweets and speeches strongly encouraged North Korea’s Kim to meet with newly confirmed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Likewise, there should be no doubt that the president’s “bellicose” comments had the desired effect on Mr. Kim.
North Korea’s leader
- Released three Korean-Americans to the custody of Secretary of State Pompeo.
- Has agreed to a face-to-face meeting with President Trump
- Is alleged to have agreed to stop missile testing and to denuclearize North Korea (with the caveat that the entire peninsula is nuclear free).
Did Mr. Kim agree to any of that during the Obama administration’s eight years?
For all that, Sen. Schumer (D-NY), the Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) of the Senate, are unable to choke pout an “At’ta boy” for the president’s accomplishment.
What Schumer DID tell sundry media friends was:
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says he's glad to see three detained Americans returning home from North Korea. At the same time, he is warning the Trump administration not to use Americans being held abroad as bargaining chips in negotiations.
The New York Democrat says he hopes President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are clear in their talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and other countries that "no regime has the right to hold Americans in captivity without cause."
He added that "under no circumstances should Americans be viewed as bargaining chips."
Schumer made the remarks Wednesday in the Senate.1
- On Capitol Hill, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer celebrated the detainees’ return but warned that “we’ll see many more hostages” if the administration provides an incentive for imprisoning Americans.
“We are happy they’ve returned, but North Korea shouldn’t gain by taking Americans and then releasing them,” he said.2
- Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Wednesday that he was "delighted" that three Americans are being released by North Korea but warned the Trump administration against linking the individuals to broader negotiations.
"We cannot forget: No regime has the right to hold American citizens in captivity without cause, and under no circumstances should American citizens be viewed as bargaining chips," Schumer said on the Senate floor. 3
"Chuck” also managed air time on CBS News4 where he complained about Trump talking with Japan’s leadership before talking to South Korea’s government. Schumer went on to tell the CBS interviewer that we have to tell the Chinese to “put the wood” to Korea.
- I wonder what Schumer would have said if President Trump told an interviewer that “we” need to tell China to “put the wood” to North Korea. How loudly would Nancy wail? Oh my.
Schumer is quoted (ibid) stating “No regime has the right to hold American citizens in captivity without cause, and under no circumstances should American citizens be viewed as bargaining chips,"
I’m not certain what the senator means by “right to hold American citizens in captivity without cause.”
The senator’s quote continues “under no circumstances should American citizens be viewed as bargaining chips."
What about Democrat Carter and the Iranians?
What about Democrat Obama and the Iranians?
Democrats apparently are blind to their own presidents’ actions – and inactions.
