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

What is the difference between Trump today and prior administrations?

Who were the controlling interest in prior administrations that blocked them from coming no where close to where President Trump has our current relationship with NK?

Is/was China key? Do finally have a POTUS that called China’s bluff (I know we do)?

I think it's his "my way or the highway" approach that undoubtedly has never been used.

Because true politicians have no interest in solving problems. They only care about power and money which Trump already has both to begin with

Because he doesn’t apologize for America. The world is our bitch.

Cause he actually wants to make a deal. It’s not just lip service and puppet strings

Because he's not a pussy and uses the unprecedented position of strength in negotiating.

He wasn't afraid to leverage China's economic interests against its desire to keep an increasingly belligerent NOKO as a pet buffer. Barry was deathly afraid to go toe to toe with China. He never would have made it this far.

Combination of using leverage and not caring about optics.

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.

Trump has surrounded himself with a badass group of geopolitical alphas who have been working the back channels tirelessly to set this up for months. For him, the fruition is being there, in person, to shake hands and sign deals.

Our President and his staff are absolutely owning foreign relations. The MSM says otherwise because TRUMP is a big meanie head, but when you look at the body of work, did Obama's approach get shite done, or has Trump's approach worked (rhetorical, because there's no argument).

The guy has been making massive deals for years and doesn't need to ask his handlers what to do.

This is the part I really want to learn more about. “Strings cut” implies there were some bad actors in the US benefiting from a NK/US adversarial relationship.

Trump is one of those people who doesn't know the word "impossible." There are others like him, but they're rare and most have never been president.

Not one comment addressing the OP.
