I suppose it's just a sign of the times when the POTUS and North Korea have diverging accounts of why the negotiations failed, and you don't see any reason why North Korea's should be considered the less truthful version.
Trump-Kim summit: North Korea says country seeks partial relief
Trump-Kim summit: North Korea says country seeks partial relief
North Korea has denied US President Donald Trump's claim that the country demanded total sanctions relief during a failed summit in Hanoi.
The North's Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho was speaking after talks between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ended without agreement.
He said they asked only for partial sanctions relief in exchange for disabling its main nuclear complex.
The US insists this is not the case.
After their talks broke down, Mr Trump said Mr Kim had offered to dismantle all of the Yongbyon complex, the research and production facility at the heart of North Korea's nuclear programme, a significant proposal.
But in return Mr Kim wanted all sanctions lifted, something the US was not prepared to offer, Mr Trump added.

So bad, right? I'm actually having some difficulty in convincing myself that NK's version isn't the version that's closer to the truth.
Objectively I think the US version passes the smell test but since trump would lie about the color of the sky...

When most Americans actually have to stop and think about who's telling the truth in a war of words between their president and the leader of North Korea it's time to admit things are definitely not okay.

How the Trump-Kim Summit Failed: Big Threats, Big Egos, Bad Bets
As President Trump settled into the dining room of a French-colonial hotel in Hanoi on Thursday morning, the conversation with Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader with whom he had struck up the oddest of friendships, was already turning tense.
In a dinner at the Metropole Hotel the evening before, mere feet from the bomb shelter where guests took cover during the Vietnam War, Mr. Kim had resisted what Mr. Trump presented as a grand bargain: North Korea would trade all its nuclear weapons, material and facilities for an end to the American-led sanctions squeezing its economy.
So, if the NYT has the story straight, North Korea was indeed more truthful than Trump.Mr. Kim also miscalculated. He bet Mr. Trump might accept a more modest offer that American negotiators in Hanoi had already dismissed: The North would dismantle the Yongbyon nuclear complex, three square miles of aging facilities at the heart of the nuclear program, for an end to the sanctions most harmful to its economy, those enacted since 2016.

Trump has cancelled the regular exercises again.
Remember that the first time he did it was at Putin's suggestion.
As it happens, Putin's foreign minister made a trip to Hanoi to coincide with the recent Trump-Kim summit...

Don't sell us short like that. We have [ur=https://abcnews.go.com/International/st ... 17&page=1l]a long history[/url] of supporting our own dictators.
The “School of the Americas,” in Fort Benning, Ga., which has for 54 years operated as a training facility for Latin American military personnel, will shut its doors after facing criticism from human rights groups for years.
The list of graduates from the School of the Americas is a who’s who of Latin American despots. Students have included Manuel Noriega and Omar Torrijos of Panama, Leopoldo Galtieri of Argentina, and Hugo Banzer Suarez of Bolivia.
Other graduates cut a swath through El Salvador during its civil war, being involved in the 1980 assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero, the El Mozote massacre in which 900 peasants were killed, and the 1989 murders of six Jesuit priests.
On Jan. 17, the school will reopen in the same location, to be run by the Defense Department rather than the Army. It will be known as the “Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation.”
...
But critics say the military is doing nothing more than changing the name of a school that over the years has won the moniker “School of the Assassins.”

It's not just pure ineptitude and not just Jung Un.
Russia sells a ton of oil to North Korea off book and against sanctions. Remember, Trump's lawyer who set up the meeting also represents Russian businessmen. And the Russians were in Viet Nam this week too, IIRC. Nothing like billions of dollars to make things happen.

WTF?It was announced today by the U.S. Treasury that additional large scale Sanctions would be added to those already existing Sanctions on North Korea. I have today ordered the withdrawal of those additional Sanctions!
Trump just cancelled sanctions that Treasury imposed yesterday. Sarah Sanders defended the move by announcing that Trump likes Kim and doesn't believe sanctions are necessary.
Do we even have an administration?

He cocked it up too. It's not the sanctions from today/last night. There are more sanctions apparently coming next week and those are the ones he was saying wouldn't happen. Complete clusterfuck.

So let me get this straight. He spent he week shitting McCains's grave and ends it by overriding sanctions on NK because he "likes" Kim. We deserve everything we are going to get.In explaining the president's sudden announcement, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, "President Trump likes Chairman Kim and he doesn't think these sanctions will be necessary." Trump's tweet and the press secretary's clarification of it sent waves of confusion throughout Washington, from the Pentagon to the White House itself.

WaPo
North Korea issued a $2 million bill for the hospital care of comatose American Otto Warmbier, insisting that a U.S. official sign a pledge to pay it before being allowed to fly the University of Virginia student from Pyongyang in 2017.
The presentation of the invoice — not previously disclosed by U.S. or North Korean officials — was extraordinarily brazen even for a regime known for its aggressive tactics.
But the main U.S. envoy sent to retrieve Warmbier signed an agreement to pay the medical bill on instructions passed down from President Trump, according to two people familiar with the situation. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
The bill went to the Treasury Department, where it remained — unpaid — throughout 2017, the people said. However, it is unclear whether the Trump administration later paid the bill, or whether it came up during preparations for Trump’s two summits with Kim Jong Un.

Worse, imo. Drumpf agreed to pay for the outcome of torturing an American.
That said, it's not even a drop in America's bucket and one of it's citizens will come home.
That said, America has nukes, air force and economic power. NK should get it's teeth kicked in if it wants to start trying to embarrass America on the world stage. There's defiance. There's yipping like a dog who's bark is too big for it's bite, then there's this sort of humiliation.
For all the redneck tough guys and war hawks in America, they are just going to stand back and eat this humiliation on the world stage? MAGA indeed.
