How long before Donny further capitualates to and appeases Kim by ceasing more war games?

Donald Trump agreed to hand over the wartime command of USFK troops to Korea and will drill under that scenario in August.

In a first, South Korean general to head joint U.S.-Korean combat command on peninsula

A South Korean general officer has been selected to lead future combat operations involving American and South Korean forces on the divided peninsula, in an agreement reached by the militaries of both countries this week.

Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan and South Korean Defense Minister Jeong Kyeong-doo agreed to nominate a four-star general from Seoul to lead the joint command in the country, dubbed Korea-U.S. Combined Forces Command or CFC, which is the “warfighting headquarters” for U.S. and Korean forces, should hostilities again break out in the country.

No sanctions lifted, nothing taken away.

Trump cancelled new sanctions put on by the Treasury department. They were put on, then Trump ordered them to be cancelled, which helped Un and NK. You also have the stopping of the war games, a huge Korean demand for years that Trump handed over, so that's been taken off the table.

But what I haven't seen are any results.

Putin has obviously given tips to lil Kim on how to play Trump.

If he plays his cards right Trump might even gift him S.Korea.

After all our genius businessman is good at giving away other peoples' stuff.

Trump cancelled new sanctions

But they are on standby should things really, really get ugly.

You also have the stopping of the war games, a huge Korean demand for years that Trump handed over, so that's been taken off the table.

But still sanctions in place and Kim, poor guy needs money desperately and can’t get it, so he knows what to do, if he wants his money and sanctions lifted, he’ll do that, I’m sure none of his people want to go through another negotiation and come out empty-handed or that will lead to someone again being executed.

But what I haven't seen are any results.

Takes time, even Schumer knows it, that’s why he told the President to hang tough. Schumer is right for once.

Two years ago:

A former presidents suck! They didn't fix the NK problem!

Now:

It takes time...

Seems like Team Moron is finally starting to get a dose of reality.
