Ross: Conservatives can now cut communists some slack

Even some of President Trump’s critics admired his recent improvised meeting with Kim Jong Un. His dramatic step across the border into North Korea was covered like the moon landing.

He took that step, didn’t even bother to flash his passport, and made history.

I know Trump is being accused of sucking up to a communist dictator. And I know a lot of you are saying that if Barack Obama had done this, Trump himself would have called it sucking up. But there was one clear achievement because of this event.

It is now acceptable for conservatives to cut the world’s most horrible communist some slack. Trump is doing it, and so is his newest Fox confidant, Tucker Carlson.

“It’s a disgusting place, obviously so there’s no defending it,” Tucker recently said of North Korea.

But then he added: “On the other hand, you know, you’ve gotta be honest about what it means to lead a country, and it means killing people. Not on the scale the North Koreans do, but a lot of countries commit atrocities including a number that we’re closely allied with.”

So you tell me that if by building a nuclear bomb, Kim Jong Un has managed to make friends with Trump, and has anti-communists willing to accept a little murder now and then — do you think he is ever going to de-nuke himself?

I think he will pretend to de-nuke, and we will pretend to believe him.
