Trump-Kim statement overpromised on return of war remains

Source: AP




WASHINGTON (AP) — ....................................

That was more than a month ago, on June 12. Although Trump said eight days later that the repatriation had happened, it had not. It still has not. So, it was not “immediate,” though the Stars and Stripes newspaper reported from South Korea on Tuesday that the North has agreed to transfer as many as 55 sets of remains next week. The Pentagon and the State Department declined to comment on any specifics promised by the North......................................................


There is even some doubt that any remains turned over would be of Americans. Trump admitted as much in a CBS News interview July 14.

“You know, remains are complicated,” he said. “Some of the remains, they don’t even know if they are remains.”

And all the fools who support him jumped around for a few days gleefully. The deal is...make talking points for hannity etc. they absolutely don't have to be true. Very little propaganda ever is. They beat their opponents over the head with it and the next day something else outrageous happens to wash it all away like Kentucky Bourbon.

Donald uses the bodies of our servicemen as tools for his propaganda lies.

Of course, Donald does not actually care about them. He likes soldiers who were not captured.
