Trump Cancels Singapore Summit With North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un (cnbc.com)
President Donald Trump has cancelled his much anticipated meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that was scheduled to take place in Singapore on June 12, he announced moments ago. In a letter to Kim, the president said; "I was very much looking forward to being there with you. Sadly, based on the tremendous anger an open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it is inappropriate, at this time to have this long-planned meeting. Therefore, please let this letter to serve to represent that the Singapore summit, for the good of both parties, but to the detriment of the world, will not take place." He added, "You talk about your nuclear capabilities, but ours are so massive and powerful that I pray to God they will never have to be used."
and then there is Kim Jong Un to worry about . . .

BINGO! I win my Donald Trump bingo.
Pulls out of Paris. Messes up with Iran. Get's his ass handed to him by Russians in Syria. NK summit fails... that completes my line across the middle.

The comments were pretty harsh.
Compared to the US saying that we were going to use "the Libya model"?
He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse.
What else exactly does Trump think he's going to get? The North Koreans already offered unilateral nuclear disarmament and negotiations on reunification with South Korea. That's basically everything that matters.
Spin this as him being smart all you want, but in reality it's him throwing away the best chance at peace on the Korean peninsula in history because his ego is so big that he couldn't deal with the North Koreans legitimately pointing out that telling them Kim Jong Un would end up dead like Gaddaffi isn't a smart move.
Right now the whole world sees the North Koreans having said all the right things, and made all the right moves, and the Americans saying all the stupid things, and making all the wrong moves. The fact is, even if this was just a political game or a negotiating tactic, American has already lost as it's now the country that blew it with North Korean peace talks.
Yes, including one where Gadaffi was overthrown and eventually murdered. Making threats (or just using such ridiculously clumsy language during such a critical phase of diplomacy) is pathetic. It's amateur hour in the White House apparently.
The US never agreed to the Iran deal. And Iran never signed the deal anyway, so...
What's that in the top left corner then?
And voting for UN security council resolution 2231 was a strange way of showing that you never agreed with the deal. You can complain about the kindergarten you call congress refusing to support anything and everything Obama did all you like, at the UN, we expect you to send qualified adults that can make decisions befitting their position within your administration.
Had the meeting gone as scheduled, he would have said it was brilliant and just as Trump had planned. Adams worships the ground that Trump walks upon and has convinced himself that all democrats are demon scum. Trump is incapable of doing any wrong in Adams' eyes.
Coincidentally, remember when Dilbert was last funny? It was a fair bit before the 2016 elections. Now it's just Mallard Fillmore in an office; often forgetting the punch lines as well.

Romney was an up-tight and out-of-touch sellout to the rich (pretty much the same as most Republican nominees), but "the Left" never called him the next Hitler. I dare you to find any kind of meaningful consensus that shows otherwise.

Bill Maher comparing the Romeny campaign to the last days of Nazi Germany? http://thehill.com/video/campa...
Did you even read that or watch the interview? Bill Maher is comparing the end of the republican campaign to the last days of Nazi Germany -- basically saying that they didn't realize or admit that they were going to lose until the very last days of the election. There is absolutely no comparison between Romney and Hitler in terms of personality, politics, ideals, or anything else.
Besides all that, Maher is a single comedian. He is hardly a consensus for "the Left". Try again.
