For congressional Democrats, it’s payback time. Ever since 2015, when Barack Obama struck a nuclear deal with Iran, prominent Republicans—including Donald Trump and his top foreign policy advisers—have accused Obama and his Democratic supporters of, in Mike Pompeo’s words, “surrender.” They’ve accused Obama of signing a deal that doesn’t meaningfully restrain Iran’s nuclear ambitions and, by seeking a warmer relationship with its regime, of betraying Iran’s long-suffering people.
The irony, therefore, is nearly irresistible. In his nuclear summit this week in Singapore, Trump gave up more—and got less—than Obama did with Iran. He flattered Kim Jong Un in ways Obama never flattered Hassan Rouhani or Ayatollah Khamenei. And so, having been offered a free shot on goal, congressional Democrats are taking it. It’s satisfying to expose your political adversaries as frauds.

In their desire to prove themselves savvy and tough, Democrats are proving myopic. And they’re making themselves de facto allies of ultra-hawks like John Bolton, who may try to derail the Trump-Kim peace process, and revive the threat of war....

The Progressive Marxist Socialist Left doesn't want "safe". They will fight against anything Trump does. Why? Because the only thing the PMS Left wants is Global Totalitarian Government. Trump and a strong America people stand in the way of GTG so they will fight, lie, cheat, steal even murder, whatever it takes to stop Trump and stop America.
The Delusional Hypocritical Lying PMS Left is THE ENEMY WITHIN.
Patriots on the Right must meet and beat them with as much determination and vitriol against theme as they have for us.
Trump gave up almost nothing to achieve the Summit meeting other than some small measure of respect to someone he is attempting to create a deal with.
In the Iran deal, that Obama began negotiating before he was elected, Obama gave up hundreds of billions in cash and in sequestered bank accounts, decades of sanctions, economic access to the world, legitimization of the Iranian regime, the legal ability to process uranium, a short path to nuclear weapons in 10 years, and more.
Let's all remember that Obama after funding the Syrian Civil War drew a red line in the sand and Assad crossed it and Obama faded. Trump soon after he took the oath of office.. sent Assad a message with 59 cruise missiles.
