(SINGAPORE) — President Donald Trump declared on Twitter Wednesday that there was “no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea,” a bold and questionable claim following his summit with leader Kim Jong Un that produced few guarantees on how and when Pyongyang would disarm.

Trump is a fool that L'il Kim played like a cheap kazoo. While Trump stabbed South Korea in the back by ending bilateral war games North Korea did not agree to any timeline for denuclearisation. They can drag it out for decades. Pretty sure the champagne corks started popping in both Pyongyang and Beijing immediately after the document was signed.
Wolf Braun had died a fiery death and the Archangel emerged.

Hey, guys.

Or at least pretend to play ball, we don't really know yet if they'll really play ball.

Here's the deal. Was this a meaningful break through in our antagonistic relationship with North Korea? Maybe. It's certainly not a bad first step. But that's all it is, a first step. It hasn't eliminated the nuclear threat from North Korea. It hasn't really done anything of significance other than to perhaps show Kim Jong Un that he can get Trump to agree to things that other Presidents would not agree to, while offering very little in return. Now, nothing Trump has done is irreversible and maybe he has done it as a show of good faith. But it also leaves others doubting that he is this great negotiator he claims to be. And it could all be reversed tomorrow on a whim by either man.

Meanwhile, some Trump supporters are trying to pump up the situation as though Donald Trump has, single handedly, established world peace in our lifetime. No, he really has not.

Try to keep it in perspective.

Kim won by being on the same stage as, whatever you think of him personally, the leader of the free world... Trump won by doing something none of his predecessors had done... a live meeting with the leader of the DPRK. We can now return to the norm... barely simmering hostility.

That is certainly one assessment, and not a completely unfair one. I'm going to give Trump the slightest benefit of the doubt and cross my fingers that something more comes of it. But my gut says that things will probably pretty quickly revert to the status quo.

Trump is right again, and Trump will have success with NOKO because he knows that little Kim wants his country to prosper and Kim doesn't want to be under constant war.. he isn't like his Father and Grandfather..

little Kim lived outside of NOKO in his Youth and wants the pleasures of being westernized.. food in his stores, McDonald's, and his people working like the rest of the world and like SOKO.. Building hotels on their beaches for tourism.. why do you alt-left think Trump showed that video he had made to Kim himself in Singapore? for fun? lmao Trump is right again.. and Little Kim will prove it..

My God! you'd think you alt-left would be getting tired of losing at some point! you clueless left are really glutton's for punishment by losing and being wrong all the time.. lmao

Trump doesn't start things he can't finish successfully.. unlike Obummer who failed miserably at everything he started..

and to all those alt-left who don't believe it that Trump is right about little Kim!

here's a quick reminder..

The turn began when Kim Yo Jong returned from the South to the North following the Olympic Games. She saw how it could be and wanted it for her people.
