It'll be a "Hi, Hello."
And both dictators claim a huge diplomatic victory. dt says it will be a process, (and plays it out until the day he dies)....'he was a very nice man'. etc.
Ivanka and melania will do a risque hoola dance to take up time.
Talking points for the next 20 years.
We need results. ANY president would've had a meet and greet w him. We didn't bc it's literally beneath the dignity of the nation and the US President...enter dt....limbo dancing to a bar set at a new low. "I did it!!!"
He will golf for a month thanking himself for make work, that did nothing.
KIM goes home to a people ten times more despairing then us..and turns the screw on the next ugly thing. Americans look in the mirror, and see a hollow shell of a starving unhappy N Korean, looking back at us. Our future bc we are allowing federal crimes to continue. Mueller ....what good does it do to prosecute dt after he's broken the Ming Dynasty (figuratively) vase in the front room? The bell can't be un-rung, and the longer we allow a thrown election and the recipient of same to carry on, the further the irreparable harm. This has to stop, and I don't think I'm the only one who may think so.

North Korea isn't giving up its nukes, and 45 knows it.

But the Rubicon has been passed, all he's got to do is say that he scored a great victory for America, Fox & Company will bloviate about the Nobel, his base will be justified in their faith in him, the liberal media will gladly enable it, the mushy middle will think this will justify their belief that he's getting unjust scrutiny.

The slide toward totalitarianism one step further.

Trump will claim an amazing win. The reality is that Kim already scored the win by being recognized in a way that other American Presidents refused to do.
