Analysis: After traveling halfway around the world for a face-to-face meeting with Kim Jong Un, the president, who considers himself the world's ultimate deal-maker, pushed away from the negotiating table with nothing more in hand than he had arrived with.

It would be easy to simply stack the summit atop a gathering pile of political, policy and personal humiliations for Trump in recent months.

Victor Cha, the Korea chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and an NBC News contributor, called the summit"an outright failure" Thursday. But, he said,"Trump made the right decision to push for more than minimal steps and take no deal over a bad deal." Even before he landed in Hanoi earlier this week, Trump's appetite for an accord appeared strong enough to North Korea experts thatSome of his critics saw a president desperate to score points on the international stage because of his domestic political troubles.

He didnt lose his lmfao

Trump comes back empty handed and embarrassed by NK’s declaration that what Trump said was not true about why there was no deal

There is no prestige left to lose.

Trump didn’t loose anything, this was a success! Now N Korea knows what’s at stake and that we’re not playing!

Now print the story that was written about how bad the (deal) was, had one been agreed to.

Why is it your analysis always runs to one side of the political argument. I dare say, you don’t have one conservative voice reporting for you. Prove me wrong.

Trump’s “pile” of personal humiliations in office is huuuuge. You left out Helsinki, Charlottesville (which promoted business people to quit his task forces), and Syria withdrawal declaration (which prompted a written rebuke from Defense Secretary)

I tell you, either we got lucky or some civil servant we will never hear about did something heroic for his country

This article is not an analysis paper. It is just a narrative of your feelings for President. Noways within you made a comparison of the situation before and now or after. We want you to inform us not filling us with your remorse of past losses. But is Ok. It’s your business.

The left before summit: trump is going to be pressured into a bad deal. The left now: oh no trump walked away from potential concessions. People see through the bs

Fake news

Could have been done with a phone call!

Hey, at least he didn’t surrender.

Well he did get fcked pretty hard, would you stick around?

So in other words, NBC thinks Trump should have agreed to Kim Jong Un's terms. They probably think Trump should have brought pallets of cash with him too!

NO HE DID NOT !!!

This is so much Bs. There is a dialogue. We are not at the brink of war. Are you negative fckrs only hope for failure for Trump. You’re not for peace

Truly the bar has never been lower.

No loss here , grow up nbc .

We lost dummies. Was he there representing us? America? And while there what were you airing? Cohen hearings? Really?

What he didn’t do was make a deal at all costs!

More garbage by a corrupt so called news organization. You should be ashamed to print such garbage. You want historic house seat loses? Look at your hero O. WorstDishonestNetwork

I’m guessing no one here has ever walked away from a deal to gain a better one later. That is basically the only way to purchase a car anymore. They didn’t give what we want so we walked, now hopefully things loop back to a better deal.

As long as the lines of communication remain open and unhindered there is chances for future talks.

He lost nothing........everything that had been negotiated before remains in place

He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.

How many communist can you fit in one picture?

Lolololol see under “Lowest Bar Ever” 🤣🤣🤣

He is discovering that not everybody is a pushover and that he does not rule the world outside his own little conclave.

Correct... it could have ended as badly as Obama’s deal with Iran.

This won’t age well. Among other things Trump sent an important message to the world. China heard it - even if didn’t.

I haven’t seen any missiles launched or nuke test lately. Remember when Hawaii was in dead panick over the threat of a missile launch not to mention Japan.

All I heard is that trumpf want to have the US control the North Korea nuclear weapon.

Trump loves that guy. Trump Tower NK.

You people are hilarious. You act like he is dealing with clingons. Hearty chest thump. Kah blak. Lol.

The time and energy spent on work pales in comparison to what I might've lost for not go to work.

Only a 100% dishonest press would suggest that Pres. Trump 'failed'... He is the ONLY President to create a real dialogue with North Korea; he is the ONLY President working towards PEACE with North Korea -- you folks, in the so-called Media *never* criticized Obama, etc. Liars

Plz stop ppl! He did not walk away because he couldn't get a deal! He walked away because he was freaked out about Cohen's testimony and wanted to come back! Use your head how long was he there not long enough for talks? Stop normalizing this abnormal man! Walked away my ass!

What deal?

Should’ve never been having a summit with Kim Jong Un. This whole thing is a total embarrassment. Trump is a disgrace.

Trump did NOT Lose Big at Summit. This is a “process”.

At least he walked away instead of applying KY and bending over---like Obama did for the mullahs in Iran.

Just so we’re clear: Your expectation is that every time they they meet if that doesn’t result in denuclearization the meeting was a failure? Paint chips are a decoration not a snack people.

Fake news

🙄

How about if he never went and gave Kim the platform? Wouldn't have sacrificed anything then. He still thinks he can get a Nobel, just like Obama. And Kim thought he could fleece him again like he did last time. Too much ego. Too much stupidity. Bad mix.

Just WOW..
