President Donald Trump is in the midst of his second summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un in Hanoi, Vietnam, as part of his ongoing effort to negotiate the denuclearization of the rogue nation and eliminate the threat it poses to the U.S. and our regional allies. Trump’s goal of a peaceful and denuclearized North Korea is a laudable one that should have the universal support of all Americans. Unfortunately, for too many Democrats it seems their Trump Derangement Syndrome precludes them from voicing any genuine support. Instead, the Leftmedia and Democrats are only content to offer up criticism of Trump, seemingly hoping that his efforts fail.

Why would Democrats oppose a denuclearized North Korea? Or even more telling, why would Democrats oppose a booming economy where a record number of Americans across all socioeconomic strata are benefiting?

The list could go on, but the answer is simple: hatred of Trump. Since his election, Democrats have become by their own design the anti-Trump party. Suffering in the throes of Trump Derangement Syndrome, the Democrat Party platform has become “oppose Trump on everything.” If Trump supports it, then Democrats oppose it. No longer do Democrats seek to determine their support for an issue based upon evaluating if it is good for America. Instead, their only concern is whether it benefits their party. To put it bluntly, for Democrats, party comes before country.

Back to North Korea. If Trump is successful in working to bring about an ultimate end to the North Korean nuclear threat, that will be good for the U.S. and the world. So would any related success in trade negotiations with Kim’s puppet masters in Beijing — and make no mistake, the two are related. But this progress would also be good for Trump, so Democrats want none of it.
