Bigger game than North Korean

President Donald Trump's Singapore thing with Kim Jong Un is a nice piece of a larger puzzle. Certainly the Korean peninsula is in a strategic location bordering China and within missile range of Russia and Japan. But as historic as ending the Korean War would be, President Trump has a larger game plan.

On Saturday, he brushed aside the G7 as irrelevant, and it is with its nonsense about climate change and gender equality. Japan's Prime Minister Shinzō Abe is a stand-up guy, and maybe the new guy in Italy is too. But the others are two teenage boys and their shrewish mothers.

I've long been a believer in the "look at the solution, not the problem" theory. In this case, the solution is clear. We will have to leave borders behind and go for global unity when it comes to financial stability. - Donald Trump to CNN

Shhhh...you're not supposed to notice that.  Or remember it.  Or you're supposed to say, "That was then; this is now."
