I’m still so delighted over the latest news on North Korea. I don’t trust that cheese eating maniac as far as I can throw him (which isn’t far because I have SpongeBob arms and he’s short and fat), but the fact that he’s even willing to HAVE a conversation about denuclearization– that speaks volumes.

Kim Jong Un talked about denuclearization with the South Korean Representatives, not just a freeze. Also, no missile testing by North Korea during this period of time. Great progress being made but sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached. Meeting being planned!

This is all thanks to Trump. This is huge. Even CNN’s Erin Burnett knows it.

.@POTUS greatly appreciates the nice words of the S. Korean delegation & Pres Moon. He will accept the invitation to meet w/ Kim Jong Un at a place & time to be determined. We look forward to the denuclearization of NK. In the meantime all sanctions & maximum pressure must remain

Remember these?
North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me “old,” when I would NEVER call him “short and fat?” Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend – and maybe someday that will happen!

And remember how everyone was all, “Holy crap WWIII is nigh!”
Good times.
Liberals are totally in denial. They don’t know how to handle it. They can’t stand that this is a significant development. Imagine how liberals would act if Obama managed to make this happen. Holy crap, they’d give him (another) Nobel Peace Prize right on the spot. But since TRUMP is POTUS and TRUMP made this happen, they have to find a reason to hate it. Hence, this hot take.
North Korea has been seeking a summit with an American president for more than twenty years. It has literally been a top foreign policy goal of Pyongyang since Kim Jong Il invited Bill Clinton. (1/3)

I wonder if Trump’s “aides” have explained that to him. Or, if in their toddler-handling, they have led him to believe that this offer is something unusual. Or perhaps he imagines that only he can go Pyongyang. (2/3)

This is literally how the North Korean film “The Country I Saw” ends. An American President visits Pyongyang, compelled by North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs to treat a Kim as an equal. (3/3)https://t.co/l3TqT2v8KL

PS: To be clear — we need to talk to North Korea. But Kim is not inviting Trump so that he can surrender North Korea’s weapons. Kim is inviting Trump to demonstrate that his investment in nuclear and missile capabilities has forced the United States to treat him as an equal.

Wait. So actually, North Korea is winning now? Seriously guys? I’m not saying we can trust Kim Jong-un, but this doesn’t signify weakness. Liberals are making the mistake of saying that Trump is legitimizing North Korea by meeting with Kim Jong-un. No. He’s not meeting with him as an equal. This is a “shape up or else” conversation.
Also, MSM is still talking about Stormy Daniels.
Just listened to the South Korean statement on the Conservative radio station. Moment they wrapped I flipped over to the Liberal station. They were talking about Stormy Daniels. He’s ending them and they don’t even realize it.

“Kim Jong Un”
Reagan understood Peace through Strength.
Trump understands Peace through Strength.
The Democrats only know Fear through Weakness.

Remember when media told us Trump wouldn’t win?
Then he did.
They said economy would tank if he won.
It didn’t.
They said he colluded with Russia.
Still no evidence.
They said he’d start a war with North Korea.
Now, unlike Obama, he’s meeting to talk peace with Kim Jong Un

I don’t care what they say. I’m still not tired of #winning.
