Ok….
The two guys got together….
Nothing seems to be concluded …Except?
Kim Jong Un of North Korea has gotten something even Putin and Chienese leader hasn’t….
The world swooning over a broke, poor country ran by a dictator who seems to have successfully played the President of the United State with threats to do something , he would never dare to….
Kim isn’t talking about giving up his nukes or ballastic missles….
Trump just got a sit down and photo op and is out…..
President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un of North Korea came face to face on Tuesday, with Trump predicting that the pair would “have a terrific relationship“ and Kim pledging to work with him as the two held a historic summit with potentially far-reaching consequences for the North’s nuclear program and America’s national security.
The two leaders briefly met before the cameras in an outside section of Singapore‘s posh Capella resort, simultaneously walking toward each other on a red carpet and shaking hands at length in front of a row of alternating U.S. and North Korean flags. It was the first time a sitting U.S. president had met with a North Korean leader.
Shortly afterward, at the top of a private one-on-one session, the pair sat close to each other and exchanged additional pleasantries as conveyed by translators.
“I feel really great. Going to have a great reception,” Trump said. “And tremendous success, going to be tremendously successful. And it is my honor and we will have a terrific relationship ahead.”
“It was not easy to get here,“ Kim said, adding that “old prejudices and practices worked as obstacles on our way forward, but we overcame all of them and are here today.“
“That’s true,” Trump responded.
Later, as other aides joined them, Trump said the two would “solve“ their nuclear dispute. “Working together, we will get it taken care of,“ Trump said. Kim replied: “There will be challenges ahead, but we will work with Trump.“

From where I sit, North Korea got the better of the agreement by far. They got good propoganda for home that should help Kim Jong Un stay in power. Trump publicly called the So. Korea – US war games a provocation. This now makes them more politically difficult to do in the future if such exercises are needed. The US and No. Korea can’t even agree on the definition of nuclearization, never mind how we will monitor it. I was hopeful, even though I was skeptical before. Now I am even more skeptical, and much less hopeful. I am genuinely saddened with the results of this meeting

Note to news media: there is no North Korea “deal.” If you use the word “deal” you’re spreading Trump propaganda.
A deal has terms, requirements, dates, numbers, specific consequences for violations of the deal.
The last time Trump made a deal was his deal with Stormy Daniels.
Amen!
Clever comment by O’Donell – although it would be a stretch to say that stormy Daniels was his last deal.
Yea….
Ya never know where his Johnson has been last….
