Just like a couple of middle schoolers, Donald Trump and North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un are passing notes saying they like each other.

Brutal North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un got everything he wanted from the summit with Donald Trump. He got the photo ops and he got the legitimacy on the world stage, which makes him appear equal to the President of the United States in stature.

Trump Sec. of State Mike Pompeo’s claim that the American people share objectives with Kim Jong-un was crazy and a fundamental violation of the democratic principles that the United States is based on.
In Korea, nothing is what it seems. What they call the demilitarized zone is actually the most heavily militarized area in the world.  Technically the two Koreas are still at war, even though they’ve had over 60 years of peace. The leaders of North and South Korea met yesterday and agreed to “denuclearize” the peninsula, even…

“If we have to, we’ll go to war,” Graham told a South Carolina CBS affiliate.
After eight years of an administration who took these issues seriously, we now have a president who loses his cool at the slightest provocation.Â
