Kim, has played this game well, getting all he wants from tRump. It will be interesting what

the next round will be. My hunch is Xi and Kim already know their plans. And Putin is in the wings. tRump is being fully played while possibly/probably being led to believe he won the game. Frankly, would anyone really give up their nuclear weapons based on tRump's word.

Trump will claim it was a success

Then afterwards there will be a whole lot of "well know more in a couple weeks" bullshit

At the most, Trump might get a McDonald's in the NK capital.

7. American People Getting Played

I think it is the American people who are getting played. I think Trump is just using this summit to get a luxury vacation on the taxpayer dime. I think Trump already knows he is either not getting anything, or not getting much out of this meeting. I think he has known/felt that very little, if anything, would come from this summit from the moment he cancelled the meeting the first time. I think the meeting was rescheduled so that Trump would not be completely embarrassed. Now he can claim he was able to do something no other President, especially Barack Obama, could do. He and his allies will also be able to claim that he is, once again, being mistreated by liberals and the liberal media in that they are not giving his the due congratulations he deserves for performing such a terrific feat.
