The return of the 3 men imprisoned in North Korea is a triumph, for which we should all be grateful. But it gives me agita just thinking of Mr. Trump receiving plaudits for anything on his watch.
He was certain to mention the Nobel Prize (he would never speak of it, he merely noted that we did). And here we go again counting crowds (the most media ever at 3 AM). This was not all about him, until it was.
I can't even quantify the level of my distaste for everything Trump and the wrecking ball he has taken to this nation's standing in the world, destroying relationships and dismantling agreements at every turn.
And yet, whether by sheer luck (even a stopped clock is right twice a day) or maybe, just maybe because his one flew over the cuckoo's nest strategy with Kim Jong Un proved effective, we find ourselves staring directly at the possibility of the easing of tensions with North Korea.
Is there something less than damming with faint praise? If so, that is my sentiment as Mr. Trump takes a victory lap while those, like me, who find every second of his presidency mind boggling wrong, shudder.

The release of some prisoners, while cause for celebration, should not be the measuring stick for success or failure in North Korea. It will be nearly impossible for the U.S. to monitor activities within this gruesome murdering regime. Trump's talk of a Nobel Prize is "Quatsch", (my mother favorite response)--RE

Today’s blog only begins to echo my revulsion….."I can't even quantify the level of my distaste for everything Trump and the wrecking ball he has taken to this nation's standing in the world……”
I also have trouble “qualifying” what he’s done, is doing. I quiver and shake at what tomorrow’s news will plop on my welcome mat. I truly am out of words/phrases that can summarize my total disgust. Oy. It’s a blessing that my father and mother never had to listen to and witness his fecal barrage.
Keep it going
