Interesting to hear trump say the biggest thing is nuclear proliferation. Hopefully negotiation does lead to nuclear disarmament, trump would go down as the greatest president in history.

[sweetrocka]

They have already tried negociating, now is time for action, Trump has been the same all along, smart man

[RavenR]

We have negotiated for 18 more years. It does nothing, and he's right here.

[Metallikid]

If he was so dumb...why would NBC, Chris Mathews Wolf Blitzer and other anchors in 1998/99 bother to ask questions on issues like this? Good headlines? Genuine insight? The dude was right then and he's right today! Doing great Mr. President!

In 1999 north korea havnt done successful intercontinental misil tests yet v:

[Texasguy]

Really 1999? Lol 18 years later and a different leader doesn't matter to anyone?

[hotbello]

Crazy...To think how close we were! On the is everything and Trump proved that! I have defended him on so many occasions....People hate on him, bash him, put him me...He saved the day! He is our Commander and Chief....As a veteran, i was trained from an early stage to respect anyone who was able to earn that Women, White, black or Asian! Hooorraahhhh Pres. Trump....Keep up the Amazing work...Thank you Sir!

[XRinger]

At least Trump is consistent. He's still thinking the same way today..
He is not a kick-the-can down the road president. Never will be.

[TheFamousMockingbird]

I can't believe it. He didn't go off on a tangent about something totally unrelated. He even managed to string together multiple coherent sentences that are not structured like a 4th grader

[gianca]

If only CNN had watched this....they would have avoided to look dumb.

[RovanRCTube]
