First, I wasn't mocking the attempt. What I was mocking was the spiking of the football that it was done, by both Trump and his worshippers. IIRC, he even suggested he should win the Nobel Prize.

Second, your question is a little complicated. I suppose all presidents "try" in one form or another. Is the question whether I am happy with his particular strategy? I don't know. He backed down on sanctions and made Kim a legitimate world leader, seemingly to reduce the tensions that Trump himself ramped up. But it's hard for me to predict how things would have turn out otherwise, or what the future will actually hold. That said, I am generally in favor communication, so I think it was probably good that he did that. I suspect that many knowledgable about these things would disagree, and not just on a "partisan" basis - There is a reason no president met with Kim before, Republican or Democrat.

First...fair enough.

Second...do you think "strategic patience" is "trying?" Regarding sanctions, I don't see how he backed down. Aren't sanctions on N.Korea the worst ever? I agree it is hard to predict. I certainly don't have all the answers. I just figure trying something different may be a good idea when what we were trying wasn't working. No guarantee that the new strategy would work either, of course. I agree that you have to pick the time to talk. Trump may have been a good time. His election was a fractal event in POTUS history, and if it wasn't going to happen with him, it likely would not have happened successfully. Usually the most aggressive leader is the best to make an overture. A friendly leader making an overture is usually taken advantage of.

And since those meetings are more rare these days, they barely talked at all.
