Trump says summit is on before reading 'nice' letter from Kim
By Rebecca Kheel - 06/01/18 03:06 PM EDT
President Trump has not yet read the letter to him from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un despite announcing that their summit is back on and moments earlier saying the letter was “very nice.â€
“I haven’t seen the letter yet,†Trump told reporters outside the White House. “I purposely didn’t open the letter. I haven’t opened it. I didn’t open it in front of the director. I said, ‘Would you want me to open it?’ He said, ‘You can read it later.’ I may be in for a big surprise.â€
Kim Yong Chol, a close confidant of Kim’s and North Korea’s top nuclear weapons negotiator, became the highest ranking North Korean official to visit the White House in 18 years Friday to deliver Trump a letter from Kim.

Did anyone catch how he said he did not want to use the phrase ‘maximum pressure’ anymore in his chat with the press? *****rollingeyes*****
President Trump insisted on Friday he hadn't canceled a planned summit with Kim Jong Un, instead saying he was simply responding to provocative statements from North Korea.

Mrs. Liberty and I have been wondering how this was going to be spun to make the President look like crap....
-
Who needs spin, when you can just report the meaningless things he says? I got a nice letter, but I haven’t read it yet. I’m terminating the summit, but I didn’t cancel it. We are going to keep maximum pressure on North Korea, but I don’t want to say maximum pressure.
LSD and has absolutely nothing on this MFer when it comes to the ability to warp reality.

There is only one person who showcases the imbecility of this president.
-
So it was another reality show stunt?
