N. Korea peace talks get the 'Libya model'

This coin redeemable for one MAGA ballcap.



The news this week threw The Buzz into a bit of a panic — by which we mean we hope those June 12 airline tickets to Singapore are refundable. Here’s a look at the week that was.

Not worth the pot metal they’re printed on: President Donald Trump on Thursday called off his planned June 12 summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, citing the “tremendous anger and open hostility” in a recent statement by the isolated communist nation.

Much like earlier abrupt actions by Trump rattled the stock market, this announcement triggered a panicked sell-off of those really weird commemorative summit coins the White House had issued a few days earlier.

It’s back to “lock her up!”: The summit cancellation means it’s curtains for Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize aspirations, which were fanned by chants of “Nobel!” “Nobel!” at his pep rallies.

It’s just as well, because some puzzled Trump supporters were asking each other, “what’s the problem with bells? Do immigrants like them?”
