Nah, the RINO's are getting the picture. It takes time teaching old bought dogs new tricks.
Fact is, no country gave two shits about US diplomatic efforts, let alone the north koreans:skull. Stainless must have lived under a rock in the last 8 years.

Everyone thinks they view things objectively. It is why we have divorce.
You believe that Trump's tweet that Obama tapped Trump's personal phones in Trump Tower has been proven correct, I don't. I believe that Trump's EO was a muslim ban, you don't.
So people see his track record through their respective rose colored glasses. For example, Obama was a racist but Trump is not......or is it Trump is a racist but Obama was not......it gets all confusing depending upon whom is posting.
As you wisely point out, N. Korea is going to continue down this path as they have done with prior both R and D presidents, and even if we had a massive war, Trump is not going to stop the inevitability any more than any prior president has. So in reality, what people are really arguing over is style as opposed to substance or results.
You believe in twenty years people will "realize he was just telling it how it is", whereas I believe everyone pretty much fully understands "how it is" already and that over time more and more nations will end up with nuclear capabilities and everyone already realizes that now. So in twenty years people may just say, can you believe that idiot stood up at the UN and told them that he was going to stop N. Korea........
In reality, Trump supporters will support Trump no matter what he does, no different than Obama supporters supported Obama no matter what he did.
Look back at Ron Paul "Telling it how it is" in 2003 on the floor of the House, telling everyone that the housing market was a bubble that was gonna burst, did they all "know how it was"?
I'm not necessarily drawing a direct parallel there, I'm just saying that sometimes everything we may believe "everyone knows how it is", it has a lot more impact when someone actually goes public and says it, and it carries a lot more weight. Especially after the fact....
As to objectivity, Trump never said 'personal' phones so lets not muddy the waters, but regardless personal phones were absolutely caught up in the blanket dragnet and unmasking, as just about everyone today carries a personal cell phone that they use for both personal and business communications as a matter of convenience.
It is proven that certain members Trump's campaign's phones were tapped, and everyone receiving or placing calls to those phones are caught in the taps as well, including Trump himself if/when he spoke with Manafort (for example) or anyone else that was "unmasked". Manafort's phones were tapped directly and explicitly, and EVERYONE's phones are tapped right now, including yours, and mine, non explicitly via systems that Snowden revealed, and certain calls within his campaign were explicitly unmasked in those blanket tappings, under the directive of Obama's administration. Sooo....
If Trump's travel ban was a muslim ban, then he would have enacted on the countries that have the largest muslim populations, which he didn't, his travel ban only affected a few percent of the total world Muslim population so that makes it rather hard to objectively call that a Muslim ban, but hey, if you wanna double down it fine.
Following your logic above on tapping phones, it would therefore be accurate for Obama to now state in a tweet "Terrible, Just found out that Trump had my wires tapped in my home upon becoming President. This is McCarthyism".......
