What's this?

Birds of a feather.

If a dem pres does something controversial and maybe against conventional wisdom, the repubs criticize. If the repubs do it, dems criticize. Most of the Trumpies who are appalled, just absolutely appalled, at critiques of Trump would be screaming their heads off if this had been Hill meeting Kim.

Nonetheless, I see no harm in throwing conventional wisdom out the window, although I could have done without the grand photo op in prime time where Kim was made to look like Gorby resolving the Cold War, and without Trump's gushing of accolades about the boy king yesterday. But I also think the Trump Admin should be given room and time to see where they can bring this.
