North Korea's Kim backs away from Trump relationship two years after historic handshakeNorth Korea said it was pulling away from its relationship with the U.S. two years after a historic handshake between President Donald Trump and the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, in Singapore, saying there had been no actual improvement in ties. When looking at the accomplishments of the Trump Administration, guess we can't include ending the Korean War. Looks like The Conservative Treehouse got this one wrong.

We should note who got it wrong back then. Wonder what old Sundance is offering these days? Oh yeah: The theory was originally posted to a conservative blog, Conservative Treehouse, according to NBC News. The post, from a user named "Sundance," claimed Gugino was a “75-year-old professional agitator and Antifa provocateur” who “was attempting to capture the radio communications signature of Buffalo police officers" but did not provide evidence to support the allegations. link |

Trump didn't fail. He had to break up with Kim in order to save America from the democratic uprising. Once he's settled back into office with his second term don't worry there will be so much winning on the NK front that we won't know what to do with ourselves.

Trump didn't do what Paul said he would do, but it doesn't matter. The Treehouse was wrong about new voter engagement and the huge win Trump was supposed to pull off. For Treehouse peeps I'm guessing the fact that NK is not at war with us is considered a win even if they weren't at war with us when Obama was President either. Its about the spin, not the reality.  |

From 'beautiful letters' to 'a dark nightmare': How Trump's North Korea gamble went bust
WASHINGTON — North Korea officially declared an end Friday to its diplomatic dalliance with the U.S. But experts say it’s been clear for some time that President Donald Trump’s bold but risky effort to sweet talk Kim Jong Un into relinquishing his nuclear weapons never really went anywhere. Two high-profile meetings with North Korea’s leader bought Trump a hiatus from bellicose rhetoric and nuclear tests, but Kim never stopped building nuclear warheads and the missiles to deliver them, U.S. intelligence officials and private analysts say. Now, on the second anniversary of that first Trump-Kim summit in Singapore, North Korea is renouncing the diplomacy while promising to expand its weapons program, even as experts say it is ever closer to perfecting a long-range missile capable of reaching and destroying an American city. Trump therefore joins a long list of presidents who tried and failed to cut a deal to get rid of North Korean nuclear weapons — but the first one who met face to face with the leader of the outlaw regime, lending it a measure of legitimacy. Trump at one point mused that he and Kim “fell in love,” and he showered praise on a dictator who is said by human rights groups to keep tens of thousands of political prisoners in vast gulags. Trump made a series of other concessions, including the unilateral cancellation of joint U.S. and South Korean missile exercises. He got very little in return. “In terms of the so-called goals of the summit, we made no progress in any of those things,” said Victor Cha, a former White House adviser to President George W. Bush and now senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and an NBC News contributor. “And this was arguably the one piece of diplomacy into which Trump put all of his personal capital.” Complete article here: From 'beautiful letters' to 'a dark nightmare': How Trump's North Korea gamble went bust

North Korea blew up a building that was on the border with South Korea and used for diplomatic talks. NK claims it’s because SK keeps sending over propaganda balloons but who knows why they ever do anything. Trump appears to have abandoned his attempts to create a beautiful deal with them, though. |

The tides of reality washed away their love letters written in the sand. |
