Did we not learn from Reagan? Trump did

It is amazing to watch Democrats and the news media attack President Trump for trying to bring peace with North Korea just as they attacked President Reagan for doing exactly the same thing with the USSR.

First they attacked Trump for being too tough on North Korea, which forced them to the table. Just like they attacked President Reagan. Then they attacked Trump for agreeing to meet with North Korea just as they attacked Reagan. Then they attacked Trump for pulling out of the meeting just as Reagan walked out his meeting with Gorbachev in Iceland.

Now that the meeting is over, was more successful than anticipated and North Korea has agreed to denuclearize, Democrats are attacking Trump for giving too much for nothing. How outrageous. Trump gave North Korea nothing except 25 hours of his sleep.

Our sanctions remain in place and Trump has said many times he will increase the pain of those sanctions if North Korea does not keep its word. On the other hand, North Korea has given back three American prisoners, stopped shooting missiles over our ally Japan and has destroyed one of its nuclear testing sites in return for nothing from America.

While Democrats had no problem with Democrat President Obama giving Iran billions of dollars (some in cash at night) in return for a lousy deal that forbid us from inspecting their military bases and let Iran have nukes in just a few years, they dishonestly attack President Trump for getting much from North Korea in return for future talks for peace and denuclearization. Can you spell hypocrisy?

Democrats are attacking world peace and President Trump for political advantage. Have you no shame Democrats? Did you not learn from President Reagan?
