I do agree he is a racist and misogynistic climate change denier. As for business, I’m not sure. I certainly wouldn’t mind being a couple of billion behind him.
As for the deal being done since the Obama era, I highly doubt that. With all the rhetoric and missile tests over the last year including endangering Japan by flying misses over them, I just see that as virtually impossible. Are you saying that the missile tests were all for show just to throw everyone off the scent?
I do agree Trump has some major character flaws, but you know what, so have a hell of a lot of good leaders over the years, including Churchill, who was just as racist as Trump, if not more so. Doesn’t stop them from being a good leader.

Which issue exactly?
I have a problem saying he's racist. We need a SC thread, 'What is a racist?'. I mean to be a racist do you need to be waking up in the morning and the first thing you think about is race or do you need to think/speak/act about race a certain number of times a day/week/year or what are the requirements.
Growing up in NYC where, and whether you like it or not, black people commit more crimes, it would be hard not to express an opinion now and again especially if the crimes/attitudes directly effect you or your close ones. People also have natural tendencies to massively generalise.
He's more an elitist than anything, a perfectionist. Can't bear seeing things wasted or damaged.

Denuclearisation.

However, the communique lacked specifics or concrete measures showing how the goals would be achieved. Analysts noted that many of the pledges had been made by both countries in the past and that the rhetoric was similar to previous declarations.
“It’s very comprehensive. It’s going to happen,” Trump told reporters afterward, saying he was sure Kim would follow through. But he added later: “I may be wrong. I may stand before you in six months and say, ‘Hey, I was wrong.’ I don’t know that I’ll ever admit that, but I’ll find some kind of an excuse.”
Lol

I called it, I know it. It's a god damn full blown mind virus these people have, a mental illness.
This post was hacked by the Russians.
Newsflash, crackpots exist on both sides. The issue is when people use one stupid comment from a small minority they disagree with justify their entire stance, and use this as rationale to stop listening to other reasonable arguments. Which is basically T_D in a nutshell.

Hearing the deal, Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., slammed the administration for "actively reneging on its assurances that it would not provide any financial incentives or food aid to North Korea in exchange for dubious commitments of cooperation toward denuclearization."
"I am deeply disappointed, but not surprised, by the about-face. This is just par for the course for an administration that has a demonstrated record of misleading Congress and disregarding U.S. national security," Kyl said.

Amazing. These people? Come again?
Would you put your name on the line and outright, categorically state that no dodgy dealings with Russia have or potentially ARE going on in the background? I don’t trust a word trump says, not that I trust many politicians.
The fact that Putin is likely to have had a hand in putting him there, means he probably has a hand in potentially swaying his focus.
Would you put anything past him?
There was a really interesting article by a guy who used to write for Forbes. The jist was that he drastically over inflated his wealth (which most of he accumulated via his father) and property holdings. I think this was it: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www....762b08-4287-11e8-8569-26fda6b404c7_story.html
Whilst yes, I’d love his millions - when you’re given millions I’d imagine it’s quite easy to build on that.
The US economy is booming under Trump even though before the 2016 election the Democrats/media were saying (much like with Brexit) that it would collapse if he won.
If anyone is doing the bidding of Russia it's those who would rather see their country fail than see recent democratic votes that they were on the wrong side of succeed.
I would vote for a new World order, where the U.S, the Russian Federation and China are close allies.
North and South Korea reunify to form a united Korea.
Czechia and Slovakia unite to form a united Czechoslovakia.
Croatia and Serbia unite to form a single country.
But I don't know where the UK and EU would be in this picture

Do you work for fox? Are you sure it’s not on the back of unsustainable tariffs?

It's a lost cause expecting some people to understand his anti Muslim / immigrant rhetoric that probably went a long way to getting him elected, they won't forgive him and whatever he achieves for the US and his voters will be condemned outright because of that. I also find it very odd that in two generations the left leaning folk have gone from loving the Russians and Chinese to vilifying them 
When I was at school and college the (many) left leaning teachers virtually used the USSR and China as their manual for the world's financial future and well being! I disagree with President Trump on some matters, and heartily agree with some of his other policies, but do not have such a chip on my shoulder about him as not to be able find some common ground and balance.

Nothing democratic about a foreign country interfering in an election and manipulating people to vote a certain way!
Or are you in denial and think ALL of Americas (and other countries) secret services are part of a big conspiracy and are lying about the Russian hacking and election interfering ???
