You Can't Break Up With Me, Trump Tells Kim Jong-un, I Broke Up With You!
President Mean Girl gives the Supreme Leader a high school burn.


BY CHARLES P. PIERCE

...You can’t break up with me. I broke up with you. No, you hang up first.

So, after all the big talk about the Nobel Prize, and about how this would be the foreign policy triumph that would make the president* a president, the Singapore Summit is off. The South Koreans are back on a knife’s edge. The Chinese are laughing up their sleeves. And the rest of the world doesn’t trust the government of the United States as far as it can throw Trump Tower. However, we do have those commemorative medallions that already were struck, which likely will be the highest-priced items on whatever our future robot overlords have for an eBay.

And it's all because something went bad wrong at prom. Also, it might also be necessary to egg your house.

You talk about your nuclear capabilities, but ours are so massive and powerful that I pray to God they will never have to be used.

Why do they laugh at my mighty sword?...

So far, the spin on the cancelled summit from the lapdogs in Congress is that the president* has Stood Firm. That he is not Going To Make A Deal Just To Make A Deal. That he is not going to settle for anything except everything he wants from an authoritarian leader who’s as nutty as he is, and who has no motivation at all ever to speak to him again. And, at the end of a very rich, full morning, we must all come to the conclusion that Jeff Flake is about as useful as a straw hat in a snowstorm.
