re: How is President Trump making these NK peace talks look so easy?

It's easier to justify big government when the constituency is afraid of a problem that would require a big government to protect them. So rather than make the relitvely easy deals or actions to make the problem become resolved, they drag it out or make the problem a bigger threat than it really is.

This right here. Establishment politics 101: Every problem you solve is one less club to bash your political opponent with, and one fewer thing the citizenry need the government to accomplish.
