Trump got punked by Kim Jong-Un

Everything he's done so far has ended very well for the country, not well for the scurvy Democrats but very well for the country.
Yeah, he’s even getting a Nobel Peace Prize for his great achievements with North Korea, no?

Hmm...better hold off on that.

Will the June 12th summit happen or not?

"After all this it was just five days later when the North Koreans canceled a planning meeting and began signaling that “denuclearization” was not up for debate. It’s all pretty clear (and this was widely predicted by area experts). Kim waited and waited and waited, fluffed and fluffed and fluffed until Trump had locked himself into a time and a place before threatening to cancel and saying publicly North Korea would not give up its nuclear weapons. This way Trump is either faced with attending the summit in which the two men will meet as equals and with nuclearization not up for discussion or canceling a meeting upon which Trump has banked so much both domestically and internationally.

I heard a former staffer say that Obama told them "when in negotiations, the other side must want it more than we do." I guess Obama didn't offer that advice to Trump during the transition. <smirk>

Not “Dear Little Rocket Man”?

Putin thought he'd pile on.

"Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday he was disappointed the planned summit between President Trump and Kim Jong Un was cancelled and said North Korea was not to blame.

Putin said Kim “did everything he promised in advance.”

President Trump Is a Better Dealbreaker Than Dealmaker

His blown-up North Korea summit proves it.

Even before the collapse of the North Korea negotiations, it was clear that this week was not going to do much for Trump’s vaunted self-image as a dealmaker. Not only were the prospects for the Kim meeting in doubt, there were setbacks regarding Trump’s two other top priorities: China and Iran…

Sixteen months into the Trump Presidency, it is finally time to say: we really do know. There are no deals with Trump, and there are increasingly unlikely to be. Not on nafta. Not on Middle East peace. Or Obamacare or infrastructure. On tax cuts, the one big deal that did get passed, Republicans in Congress agreed to give their grandchildren’s money to American corporations and wealthy families and put it all on the nation’s credit card; Trump championed it but, by all accounts, played little role in shaping the legislation, and did nothing to build consensus with skeptical Democrats. On North Korea, Trump spontaneously (and over the fears of his advisers) agreed to meet a dictator whose family, for three generations, has made the acquisition of nuclear weapons the centerpiece of its national security; Trump’s negotiating strategy was to demand that the Kim dynasty completely give them up. How surprised are we that it didn’t work out?

Oh, he will. Unless Trump manages to squash the investigation.
I heard a former G-man say that Mueller has a strategy to deal with that. All the evidence and indictments they've been holding onto are ready to SEND at a moments notice to SDNY and AGs in other states. :)

You REALLY need to contain your enthusiasm for the end of the world. Nothing is written in stone. The meeting will either go the way he wants or it won't. Nothing else will change. Kim Jong just might surprise the world by de-nuking. Right now, it looks like he read THE ART OF THE DEAL and is looking for some negotiation points.
"You REALLY need to contain your enthusiasm for the end of the world."

Are you predicting that Trump will follow John Bolton's advice and invade N Korea?
