Kim Jong Un has Won

He got exactly what he wanted. The crowds are cheering for him in Singapore. He got the U.S. to recognize him as a world leader and NK as a world power. If Kim Jong Un gets nothing else, he will have been completely satisfied with this “summit”. Trump, on the other hand, still wants something from this meeting. And to make matters worse, Trump is going in with the appearance of someone who trashes their own allies... why would an opponent trust him to keep his word?

Trump is going in with a weak hand and Jong Un in the position of strength. Trump will give away everything just to look like he has equal footing.

He might have a tantrum. He's already cranky and jet lagged. It won't take much to push him over the edge.

Orange Clown and Rocket Man can come of their meeting and straight up say anything.

Rocket Man is a dictator who controls information in North Korea.

Orange Clown is a dictator who makes failed attempts to control information in the U.S.

Keep in mind it is only a Dotard and not really OUR President!

You would have been better with the cast of Team America.

A photo op with a traitor means nothing!

16. Dems are too patriotic to say what Reps would

Reps would be railing on a Dem for meeting with and legitimizing an evil dictator. Kim Jong got exactly what he wanted.
