If Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump have conflicting stories about what was said at their summit?

Who do we believe?

There is no one there to verify what was said or agreed to, it is my understanding?

We know they are both liars so who to believe?

no matter what happens, Trump will declare victory, Fox will spin it as such, and the MSM will equivocate that there two sides to the story and no one really knows.

Why else would Hannity be there in Singapore for the first face to face interview with Trump after the talks???

This is kabuki theater and, I'm afraid, a good chunk of folks will fall for this crap.

This way both of them can go back to their domestic audience and say whatever they want.
Trump will declare it a victory. Move onto signing a peace treaty and pull the troops from south Korea. All that to try and get a nobel prize. Never mind that it will leave south Korea, Japan and others totally exposed as well as consolide China's hegemony in the region.

Always have a witness. They like to have private conversations to "control the story."

That's the one sure bet, that they'll both lie.
