That thing Trump said after his jovial meeting with Kim? “There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea”? Apparently it was one of his jokes.
US President Donald Trump has renewed sanctions on North Korea, citing an “extraordinary threat” from its nuclear weapons – just 10 days after saying there was no risk from Pyongyang.
“There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea,” he tweeted on 13 June, a day after meeting the country’s leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore.
…
Democrats say the latest White House language contradicts the president’s earlier boasts about the success of the Singapore summit. In another tweet on 13 June, he said Americans could “sleep well tonight!”.
Democrats say? Come on now. It’s not a party matter. Trump did say what Trump did say.
Just landed – a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office. There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea. Meeting with Kim Jong Un was an interesting and very positive experience. North Korea has great potential for the future!

“There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea.” That’s what he said. Many of us pointed out at the time that the claim was ludicrous, but the claim is what it is; he said it.
Before taking office people were assuming that we were going to War with North Korea. President Obama said that North Korea was our biggest and most dangerous problem. No longer – sleep well tonight!

We said that was ludicrous too. He still said it.

That’s so June 13th. It’s only Democrats who are going to point it out, or people who want to make Trump look bad, who might as well be Democrats.
“Trump says he trusts Kim Jong Un. And if he’s wrong? “I may be wrong, I mean I may stand before you in six months and say, ‘Hey I was wrong,’” said Trump, before adding, “I don’t know that I’ll ever admit that, but I’ll find some kind of an excuse.”
He said he’d find a way to deny it if it all went south and pear shaped. Here’s your proof.
We’ve always been at war with Eastasia.
There they go again, digging up that ancient history from ten days ago.
Is there a full moon or a lunar eclipse or something over Washington tonight?
That could explain everything.
