By Felicia Sonmez Felicia Sonmez National reporter on The Washington Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow March 3 at 10:40 AM National security adviser John Bolton on Sunday defended President Trump’s second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, saying the president was right not to make a deal that wasn’t in the best interests of the United States.
— FoxNewsSunday March 3, 2019 Trump abruptly cut short his meeting with Kim in Hanoi last week after the two leaders were unable to reach a deal to dismantle Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons. The president first met with the North Korean leader in June in Singapore. In an appearance on CBS News’s “Face the Nation,” Bolton said there is “no expiration date” for talks on denuclearization.
The national security adviser also defended Trump’s statement that he took Kim at his word that he wouldn’t have allowed American college student Otto Warmbier to have been mistreated had he known about Warmbier’s situation.
I really think more people wouldn’t see this as a failure if we saw more concrete results j2311OU
Then, John Bolton is not the extremist republican with the ugliest mub mustache.
Really....not a failure? Why bcuz he finally went to Viet Nam He's nothing but a failure. How many bankruptcies has he had? He was even caught stealing from his charities Stole $$$ from veterans. Putting the spin of b.s. with his special spin sauce on the story.
Ну раз военные учения отказались проводить, значит о чем то договарились.
And Kraft was just getting a massage...
North Korea won and now US is scaling back on joint exercises.
It wasn't a failure, it just didn't go right
AmbJohnBolton is a failure.
It certainly was NOT a success. You must accomplish something to be successful. It also depends on goals going in. The WhiteHouse never told us what that was. Low goals=low success.
So much whining
Trump wants a peace medal by all means.
When you have to make a public announcement saying something was NOT a failure... LOL
Newspeak
OMG...Bolton is only surpassed by Trump himself. God awful man!
🤣😂🤣😂
True. It was a big win for Kim
Facts aren’t facts. Bowling Green Massacre, largest inauguration size of all time, didn’t get Jared security clearance, didn’t know about payments to Stormy, didn’t know about Trump Tower meeting... lol
Sure. Up is down. We've always been at war with Eurasia. War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Orwellian without the prose.
In what universe is he living? Precisely?.
maybe it wouldn't have been if the signing ceremony wasn't planned ahead of time. that shows great hubris on the part of the trump administration
John Bolton is a failure.
Hahaha!
Then what were the positive results?
Well, Trump could have tried to grab Kim's sister by the %ussy. Would that push it over the 'failure' line?
John Bolton is a real danger to the United States and the World!
Yes it was and so is the Trump Presidency and the Trump administration
It wasn't a failure, we just didn't get them to do anything. Alternate facts.
No? We’re just tired of winning then.
Sure...
Liar!!!
Bullshit
I'm pretty sure South Korea has a different take on that.
Wonder what it was then lol
True. It was a distraction from Cohen at the tax payers expense
Yes it is an you know it!
It wasn’t a failure for North Korea they got our war drills canceled. 🤬🤮🤯
Spin spin spin
Riiiiiigggghhhhttt..........
Where did I get the impression the Wambiers knew people at Langley in the space program?
Dealing with N.K. and China is going to take much longer than we thought to get great results?
After Game of Thrones, why would we trust the opinion of ANYONE surnamed Bolton?
Trump Idolatry! Guy lost popular vote won EC with “scurrilous” tactics supported at ALL cost? Pretty sure something else is at play here. If this were Reagan, Bush, Nixon..wait you did do it then?! What happened to the Republican Party? Independents really want to know!!!
The US said that the last time they left Vietnam with out making any gains...
Oh yes it was for us. The North Koreans came out smelling like a rose.
If you ask him who won the George Foreman-Muhammad Ali fight, he would say Foreman.
Diplomacy is always good, kissing up to tyrants and praising them is not.
Compared to what? There have been 2 summits. Both were failures. When you can't get 2 sides to agree on the definition of denuclearization, you aren't making progress!
It's honestly best for world peace if we just believe him. Great job Donald! We knew you could do it! No need to invade North Korea now!
When you start out with explaining why “its not a failure”...it was a failure
The summit was indeed a failure.
ha ha! Fiasco!
Joa's supplication to the leaders KIM Jung-Eun and MOON Jae-In.
bolton is NOT to be trusted, EVER, on any matter!!!
Yes it was.
This whole Administration is uneducated
Well what are the Accomplishments? Listen Pops North Korea 🇰🇵 will continue to create Nuclear ☢️ Weapons until the Sanctions are lifted for them to continue to bring in goods from trade. Long live the Dear Leader.
Both summits and the entire strategy/execution have been abject failures. NK has won the world stage with the USA 2 times, the USA bowed down to the request to stop military exercises in SK, Trump praised Kim Jong Un many times and took his word on Warmbier. The USA got 0.
BarneysNose Dude ,it was a failure
White House communications director Hope Hicks acknowledged that she has told LIES on behalf of Cadet-Bone-Spurs Trump. When you know that no one from the Trump Administration tells the truth, you learn to see under the surface and use common sense.
He’s been a little brainwashed
Bolton us a failure.
No. Kore's was not a failure. WP wake the hell up!
What’s with Bolton? Is he Trump’s fixer now?
Sure it was.
Trump was able to turn a failure into another catastrophe by believing another dictator over America’s security service.
Of course it wasn’t a failure. Kim got exactly what he wanted. So that makes it a real success, from a North Korean perspective.
1984. War is peace defeat is victory.
And John Bolton is Captain Marvel.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Up is down. Right is left. Black is white. Newspeak
Only thing donnie managed to do is embarrass himself and the United States
Bolton Trump and Abrams.Go back under your rocks.
Bolton Lies 🤥
Whoa, what's he smoking? Cuz he really should share... We could use some of it.
Clearly, you don't understand POTUS. Someone who is 'all about the deal' is NEVER desperate to make it. E.g., you don't shop for a new car when you are in desperate need.
Not just a failure but an absolute loser leadership, Get a fitting job lightening Bolton cnni BuzzFeedNews BBCWorld nytimes NewYorker thehill WSJ GuardianUS voxdotcom
Sure it was and Trump admitted as much in his Tweet today. He just wanted to blame it on the Dems and the Cohen hearing.
JohnBolton is a failure.
How would that idiot know?
Wow, I guess a real failure would result in literal fallout.
Oh yes it was and everyone there representing the United States of America was a failure. Lying about adds salt to the wound.
Womb Broom.
Yes it was a failure and on top of that Trump stopping of SK military drill and getting nothing in return is a win win for Kim J Un...big time
It was. Worst diplomatic effort in American history.
Neither was the Bay of Pigs, right?
Neither seem to get the something productive. So more efforts are needed by US and two Koreas under friendly mood in the future.
Then what was it?
No it wasn't. But the entire Obama Administration was.
Senility
Not for Kim it wasn’t
It was a disaster
Bullshit
Huh?! Anybody home?!
It wasn't a failure at all. In fact it has been pretty successful. A 70 year war is now over, we git a new trade deal.with China, and Kim knows he can't get one over on Trump.
O course the North Korean conference was a success. But only for North Vietnam.
Yes it was
Republican never admits to failures.
Oh yeah, prove it wasn’t more than a shitshow.
Correction. He is a failure.
Um, yes it was.
The Titanic was not a failure, several people survived.

Wrong headline - NoKo leader tried to play the US Delegation like he has done previously to to prior Admins successfully by the way...but not to realDonaldTrump and his delegation...your paper is fakenews DO YOUR JOB!
Do These 'People in powere' Actually expect the Sane and Sensible to dismiss what is obvious? liarliar
Because thevoice of match maker, South Korea was not there.
Oh yes, Failure is Success. ' War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is strength ' We are certainly living in an Orwellian World
Don’t you all get sick of trying to put a positive spin on Trump’s ignorant choices?
I agree.
No matter what Bolton says it was not a success. Just because nothing bad happened.
Liar, liar, pants on fire!
That is what Neville Chamberlain said: “Peace in our time.”
Stop propagating the narrative that this was a bad deal. According to the State Dept. this was a pretty reasonable set of concessions from NK. Trump walked away from a good deal and will probably never get that chance again. We have Bolton to thank for the lack of forethought
In other news: John Bolton visiting other imaginary lands later this week
John bolton is correct!
Really? What a dolt.
Was it a success? Did we improve our dialogue with North Korea? How would you characterize it in terms of our goal. Was the goal to look foolish?
Thanks for letting us know Boltnuts.
YES, IT WAS.
Ah hahahaha ah hahah ah hahah ! What a moron.
Yeah !!! Sure !!!
Of course North Korea summit was a smashing success. And, I am🎅. It is Alice in the Wonderland at the WH and the United States.
John Bolton actually looks like Geppetto. This acid trip has gone on too long.
Still no missiles. Under Obama one every 24 hours.
I respectfully beg to differ. It definitely was a failure. Just like everything the TraitorInChief does. Their new brand should be FailuresRUs
Also water isn’t wet.
Emotional presence of empty spinless Machiavellian shell to it
No it was a total effen FAILURE.. to be clear you got shizza...he got exposure and won that one hands down dopes.
You are a failure for saying that
Bolton is a failure
Excuse me! Are you telling that to Donald?!
Rip roaring success in Trumplandia.
Narrator: It was.
Yes it was and I am not surprised at all.
No, it was just success challenged.
It was and so he s your appointment
John Bolton - nothing like a rehashed war criminals opinion
eegodess
And there is a Santa Claus.
Please explain...
AmbJohnBolton thinks the NorthKorea summit was not a failure because he’s starting to get jealous...he wants to be Putin’s bitch too...
DO WE HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF LIFE YET...C.I.A DIRECTOR
But if it was Obama I doubt Bolton or Trump would say that
Another one sucking up to the boss, nauseating JohnBolton ComplicitGOP
Seriously, how much did your little success there cost the American people?
But the Washington Post is the enemy to the people as they support the democratic deep state corporate beast system Antichrist Network serpent legion of death killing life itself...Thats fact.
Sure LOOKED like a failure.
THIS guy! We thought he was an old hat DECADES ago!
Tell us how
It was a DISASTER
But John Bolton is, is it too late to abort Bolton?
realDonaldTrump entered the summit on the idea that Kim wanted prosperity for his people, and Trump would show the way. This was wrong. Kim could have opened his economy already. He wants power. If Trump listened to the intel community, this failure could have been avoided.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Of course not!! It was A COMPLETE FAILURE 🤣😂😆😂🤣
𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬! John Bolton says 'Americans can renounce their citizenship by their words. And by their actions.' Jennifer Rubin JRubinBlogger Jill Wine Banks JillWineBanks AmbJohnBolton jaketapper CNNSOTU
Yet another traitor.
Perhaps Trumper can explain something, why is he cosying up to a vicious, murdering dictator in NK who has a massive nuclear arsenal but tries, with Bolton, to create a war with Iran who have no nuclear weapons? I’ve got it now, it’s OIL!
If he says so!!!!!!
Joke
Everyone else: John Bolton is a wacko who we don’t listen to.
Yeah, North Korea wasn't a failure if we're having Opposite Day.
Yes it was a failure, and his mustache continues to be.
Oh no a Failure ? Oh I got it . It was s disaster because it did not happened
The hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Not just, It was a complete and absolute Failure.
What do you call that success. I don’t think so.
*policies
Hmm looked like a failure to me
John Bolton is a Nazi
Another bad Joke! Sad!
Yeah, right
Was not a failure; it was a colossal, unequivocal, shit storm of a failure.
Says the 'Walrus of War'!
To call Up is Down, Wrong is Right & Evil is Good is a unique strategy. Repeated enough times by enough people with fancy ThinkTank titles & ‘reported’ by MSM, these lies become the American Polices. Healthy & Educated citizens aren’t easily fooled. We need free H-Care & College
Ah, the grand ol' US tradition of claiming that they weren't defeated in Vietnam. Again.
You and donny are the failures.
We probably would have had a deal if John Bolton wasn't there. NK offered to get rid of all nukes if we removed all sanctions.
It was an utter failure!
So if it wasn't a failure, how come this so called non failure isn't spread around the globe? No failure usually means something good happened, why so quiet?
Everything is relative
😂😂😂😂
El jokester with tightened jaw, hardened heart, not enough critical judgment. Hard!
Justsayin NorthKoreaSummit CohenTestimony
Yes it was.
AmbJohnBolton donnie putin is a failure.
Haha
Not
Oh you mean the Fake Summit
Sure it wasn't lol
“... for North Korea”
Lies and kool-aid
Not for Kim,he made us stop joint war games with S Korea,winning
This administration claims every outcome to be a success.
Correct! it was a disaster!!
It is not, because you spoiled the meeting
Definitely not. It opened communication for further negotiations now that both know what the other wants out of the deal.
SupaFud: the human cleaning my litter box was not a failure
realDonaldTrump Acosta nytimes AmbJohnBolton 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥SO MUCH WINNING? 🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Nor is the sky blue or the ocean wet.
Nothings a failure if you make enough money from it
Usually reserve this for others but fits him ...
just more 'alternative facts'...
Minion attempting to throw shade at the once again 'played' little donald.
It was successful in getting Cadet Bone Spurs to Vietnam 😏
Translation: Hitler was not a Nazi, Nixon was not a crook, and You are not Kompromat. roweafr
Is it bad that I keep on thinking of John Bolton the singer?
Outside voice: 'North Korea summit was not a failure. ' Inside voice: 'It was an absolute failure.'
I cannot buy Parkplace or waterworks from this guy he is a con...give me Pennsylvania & Illinois Ave for $4500..
😆 Majic stix
Was there another summit we weren't aware of?
Hahahahahahaha What a cast of keystone cops!
I'm confused by conservatives, Obama got an international nuclear deal with Iran they were honoring and got it with their own money and somehow that deal was awful, but trump getting nothing in 2 summits is all cool, I miss the old GOP where their was some level of honesty
Yes it was!
Donald Trump is
How sad is it, when POTUS is taking advice from Gulliani, Bolton and Dershwitz, with a sprinkling of Kushner and Ivanka?
The Republicans seem to have 'redefined' all sorts of things.. like what constitutes truth, what constitutes a moral person, success. It's amazing how horribly they've shifted the goal posts. Does anyone on their side even care?
Is that the mantra that you repeat over and over to yourself?
Um... wut?
Yeah, it was a *big* win...for North Korea. AmbJohnBolton
Sad excuse
Oh, that's an old one. Tell us another tale, John.
But your opinion doesn’t matter, right?
Yes it was
Well ask the 'Bush on his lip', how the Hell the American Public benefited from this fiasco?
Lol
It wasnt a failure, it just didnt succeed 😆
It was a great success for everyone who isn't donald trump. So, the usual.
The only people calling it a failure are those who want to see it fail. Has anyone seen Hussein Obama lately?
No, rumor has it he got to meet with a Russian representative.
Bolton is correct. The North Korean summit was not a complete failure. North Korea succeeded in getting the United States to stop having large scale military exercises with South Korea. And the United States got nothing. So it is really only a failure from the US perspective.
.... especially when compared to the other multitudes of failures by this administration.
Weighted for the current administration, it was a home run. If they had signed anything, now that would have been a disaster.
Has this guy been checked for severe head trauma?
The president successfully went to Vietnam, he successfully made kissy face with his boyfriend brutal dictator Kim Jong Un, and he successfully accomplished nothing. Total, yuge success. Bigly successful.
And my mustache is a stylish facial hair decision
Oh oh, so...it was a success?
Abject disaster would be more appropriate.
Hmmmm....and it was Waiting....
Our Administration w/Prez T is engaged & negotiating. Finally, real ppl addressing real issues. We need leaders, not puppets in roles of leadership solely for the perks.
Bolton should do The Limbo, he sets the bar real low for success.
Everyone is a winner. Everybody gets a participation trophy. thirdgradepolitics
Time to spin!
Black is white.
realDonaldTrump showed up, gave Kim a worldwide photo op, eliminated our military exercises with South Korea, and walked away with nothing. FINALLY, A PRESIDENT WHO LEADS BY RETREAT!
You saw kim jong in person, okay. That is not a success.
Meat is not meat 🙄
Shouldn't have even had the summit unless a agreement was in place with the handlers, but obviously trump wanted a show to try & wing it to make a big deal about nothing. Well he did back another brutal dictator so that was good for him. Wonder how much this wasted trip cost?
Hardly a roaring success though, was it John.
Everyone in the world who is sane: Yes it was.
the end of nwo and those in denial that it's so... ?!
Yes it was.
Yeh, not at all. Would’ve been if it were Obama though, so what you say doesn’t matter.
Trump didn’t start a nuclear war, so there’s that. Other than that, it was a treasonous, pitifully weak performance by a weak, corrupt, incompetent man.
ETTD
Bombs Away Bolton is luring Trump into another neo-con war.
bs
The liberals contribute nothing good to our nation. They talk big but offer only negativity and hatred. What efforts have they made to refrain North Korea from stopping their nuclear programs? Answer: NOTHING! Their negativity and criticism has hurt our nation by dividing us!
Also John Bolton: blah blah blah war blah bombs nukes blah blah kill kill kill blah blah.
Ifor Kim Jong Un it wasn't, that's true.
Putin got his way....that's why he sent Serguy Levrov to Hanoi....to get US to stop military exercises with South Korea.
in other words, it could have been worst
Ok...🙄🙄🙄
Up is down. Right is wrong. Cold is hot. It is 1984.
And tramp is not a president 🤕📉💊
Just in: Entire Trump administration’s brain scan results:
President Trump’s North Korea summit is just beginning !! However Obama’s $1.5 billions dollars to Iran for denuclearization was not only a failure but a disaster. Iran now in a economic crisis, where did the money go Obama? To the terrorists who want to kill Americans ! Pitiful
Debacle? Dramatic demonstration of incompetence? Proof that Trump should never have given N Korea such a public relations gift in the first place?
boss it was a failure to communicate
It was not a complete and total failure, just mostly a failure. At least Trump was not in Washington to Tackle Cohen before he testified. NK also got to look like a big boy. Other than that, what was positive for the US?
Trump got played. Again.
I guess he doesn't recognize failure since working for Trump.
Well it certainly wasn’t a win.
He knows nothing. He's just an adviser.
AmbJohnBolton POTUS Zero Moral Compass Zero Alliegence unprepared and still giving a murderous dictator right over our own citizens. FascistNationalistRepublicanParty Does not represent USA a DemocraticRepublic
Yes. It was.
All of these folks killing their legacies for a game show host who can’t put together a coherent sentence.
Oh so now he has an opinion.
Dangerous man
Oh...... I didn't know that we got CVID.
This crazy needs the boot out of our government period. Wtf
Uh huh.
Sure it was.........LOOK...
Then what was it ?
well,Kim got concessions, validation and praise from Trump. oh, you mean it was not a failure to America ? woopsie..
“You can’t fire me because I quit”
Easier to teardown the hardwork of your predecessors but tasky to erect one. Easily pulled out from the Paris agreement, Iranian deal & the Trans-Pacific partnership.This administration hasn't been successful on anything but a tax break for the rich which Trump is a beneficiary
BarneysNose Dear AmbJohnBolton, Just 1 q.: Isn’t there a pic of u — & your moustache — in the dictionary, next to the word “failure”? Yep, there it is. Sad John. Bigly sad. BeBest, MAGA John & groom that tremendous ‘stache of yours. Good boy John. (Btw, does Donald pull it to say hi?).
This Administration is an embarrassment and failure
When are you going to say it. All you media avoid it. Call it out and name it as the LIES they are.
JOHN BOLTON PLEASE HELP U-S-A PLEASE STOP ANOTHER WAR WOLD WE ARE GOING TO LOSS OUR CONTRY
When you get free NK hookers, it ALWAYS a win
👎👎👎
I'd hate to see what these nimrods consider failure.
Unfortunately what’s good for John Bolton is good for the military contractors and bad for American diplomacy.
In other news: BERLIN WALL a resounding success!
Bolton’s statement is factual. The meeting between Trump and Kim was a planned photo-op with no other purpose. Trump’s WH will always get along with tyrants in fear of confrontation and embarrassment.
In terms of elevating NK and disparaging the US, the GOP claims SUCCESS!!
For the dictator. Not the wanna-be dictator.
Yeah, it was a, uh, a 'rebuilding year.' Yeah, that's what it was--a rebuilding year.
Well, no missiles were launched so I guess that much is true.
i looked up “failure”. it was.
Grade ? F FAILED
For Kim Jong Un...
It worked out quite well for Russia
Really? okay!
When Bolton and realDonaldTrump Trump spend millions of taxpayers dollars just to have Dinner with the North Korean Leaderis a Gross Failure.
Is what you say if it wasn't a success...AmbJohnBolton realDonaldTrump
Actually, tRump was desperate for a deal to overshadow Cohen's testimony...a political gamble that blew up in his face when the dictator from North Korea flat out told Donnie to go back home and fuck himself
Just another up is down and black is white day in this administration, no journalism to see here folks.
Lol
Brown nosed enabler! Trading your integrity for a paycheck!
BarneysNose It was a trip to Vietnam for Trump. Who sadly couldn't serve, because of non existent bone spurs. Blah! Blah!
Sure, John, sure.
Yeah, yeah. Truth isn't truth, lies are alternate facts. You'll respect us in the morning. Got it.
Michael Bolton said, 'I'm too proud for cryin', didn't come here to break down It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end. And how can I blame you when I built my world around the hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends.'
And Howdy Doody fit the have wooden bum!🤪🇨🇦
Oh paaaleeeze!
Well, it wasn't a victory....
Delusional
Quick, say something nice so we don't get sent to the cornfield
Every time John Bolton says something positive like this, Trump throws him a fish.
Trump is getting praise for walking away from the deal. If it was so unacceptable, why was it even being considered? Amateurs.
Failure
Did we change the meaning of failure?
Cough*bullshit*cough
Trump claims if North Korea agrees to what he wants it would be an economical gain for them. Then the summit fell apart. Guess couldn't convince Jong Un to allow him to build a Trump Tower or Trump International in North Korea. No financial gain for Trump, so no deal for all.
Really ? I would hate to hear what success was !
Why you got a lot of frequent flyer miles?
it's a win because trump didn't give away the store. Sorta like when he read a speech someone else wrote from a prompter, and that the was the day he became presidential ... the bar so low ...
USA 🇺🇸 - once the leader of the free and democratic world Now reduced to a nation embracing one dictatorship after an other
Technically he is right. It was a great success for NK.
racistconmancheat
Right. It was a colossal one.
Chance at peace
He looks likevhe can't stand the stench of his own words
A major failure, trump thiught it was his ticket to getting the Nobel Peace prize, a failure
nice spin mr. Bolton. But it is just spin on a failed summit.
Yes, and can you sell me the Golden Gate Bridge.?
Yep just like that mustache you have.
Yes. It really was!🙄🙄
Spinning spinny spin spin spinaroo
The 1st NK summit Trump told everyone all was just great that he got NK to start denuclearization,HE LIED,then Trump goes again,for a Photo Op session,comes back says he walked away,from what no buddy really knows. Trump just couldn't take what was going on with Cohen testimony.
“It was definitely not a failure. I got this great shirt there, and it was only $20. You can’t even get these in the US for less than $60...”
Yes it was
It was ' very tremendous'
And we suppose your upper lip is not the repository of a thousand strands of fiberglass sucked hard from a love doll made in the Ukraine, hm?
lol let's redefine what failure means i guess
A 'fascinating' firsthand account - it was not a failure it was a sheer tragedy meeting genocidal Kim accountable to Peking and the Kremlin, Trump has proved he has but two ' true' friends - Putin and Kim ....
Not a failure but a shshow.
For North Korea for sure... they got: 1. International prestige 2. International pardon for torture is a USA citizen 3. Reduction of the military exercises... For USA, weeeell not to much !
Ya it was!
it was a failure, before trump, left.....No preparation'
Question of points of view: for some now the sky is purple, for others blue but the substance of what it is doesn't change ...
Of course it was
'John Bolton: North Korea summit was not a failure' Only because no deal was made between the two, who knows what mayhem would be abound had there been.
Sure, John, sure.
News to AmbJohnBolton: Trump’s North Korea Summit was a WORLD-CLASS FAILURE! realDonaldTrump RT_America
Not a failure is not even the beginning! realDonaldTrump was a total disaster! In the business world this would qualify as a YUGE Bankruptcy! Impeachment is inevitable now
it was, as is he and his handler, unhinged trump
Panicked Mieller found 00000. Won’t work
Wilford Brimley needs to go back to making oatmeal commercials
His opinion doesn’t matter, remember. It was a failure and a distraction ploy. realDonaldTrump is an incompetent fool.
It was just another step in the process. Trump haters would rather see Trump fail. Trump Derangement Syndrome is real. Get help soon! democratranmedia
Rocketman has miraculously transformed into Choo Choo Charlie!
Sure...
Oh?
Let he who is without 🤡makeup get out of the 🤡car first.
It was a joke
JohnBolton = yet another of tRump's choices of advisers. Yet another asshat with his own warmongering agenda (think Iran & Venezuela). Yet another stalwart supporter of the tRump ego who seems incapable of telling the truth.
Your boss trump is a failure!
It was not a failure, they kept Trump from giving away South Korea totally (just the military exercises for now).
Another one! Under trumps spell
Putin: We didn't interfere in the 2016 elections Trump: I believe them Saudis: We didn't chop up reporter Koshoggi Trump: I believe them Kim Jung Un: We didn't cause Otto's death Trump: I believe them TrumpsTrainCrashes
It was a USA failure, America looks very weak now, he played Trump and won.
Of course not...we met with the Russians as was our plan all along. The summit was really just for cover...but don't tell anyone.
It was not a failure.
It’s not a failure compared to Bolton, the walking Toilet Brush! LOL BOLTON IS A FAILURE, Pompeii is a fat failure and Donald Trump is a Championship Kiss Ass!
Bolton’s entire career has been a failure.
Whatever. 🤣🤣🤣
Spin from fascist goons. When will this insanity be over? I’m getting impatient.
Potus TRUMP stands tall. No concessions. You idiot's at the Compost, fail the remember that your girlfriend Obama didn't do jack in regards to NOCO. WP, you are truly disgraceful. Sickening. FAKE NEWS.
If you have to go on national TV just to tell people that something wasn't a failure, then it was probably a pretty big failure.
It laid productive groundwork.
Trump tried to get this to make himself look good and get the Peace Prize. He's jealous because Obama got one. Trump's a racist and hates Obama. He's doing anything he can to kill real National & Global progress under Obama even if it's to the detriment to our country IMO.
Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer of NY praised President Trump for not signing a deal with North Korea, for the sake of signing a deal. Get your facts straight Washington Post!
Yep and Saddam is still has stockpiling WMDs, weapons of mass destruction.
Failure is something the NK summit and Bolton have in common
This makes sense when you realize Bolton thought the Iraq War was a success.
Bolton is right.
65 years of pure unadulterated diplomatic failures and now there is a dialog! The cowards at the WP are so corrupt that they believe their own socialist rhetoric. The comments below mine reinforce the delusion of the slanderous WP.
'asinine.'
North Korea summit was not a failure, but it wasn't exactly a success either.
Remember Kim Jong Un was born in 1984 his mind is very young and can be convinced , he can be changed ! His eyes showed no evil like the Demon-crats in The USA
You are right in one aspect, it could have been much worse.
Yes, and if my aunt had a penis, she would be my uncle.
And this is a fresh, crisp apple...
It certainly wasn't a failure for Kim who in spite of the US walk away and continued US sanctions, maintained success in forcing a suspension of joint military exercises between the US & South Korea while retaining freedom to continue proliferating his nuclear arsenal.
Of course not ! That is how the deal with Communist regimes suppose to be. Kim is not the bad target but unfortunately he is controlled by China , Kim goals is the lift his country and his people out of poverty and dictatorship therefore he killed his uncle and brother
Wapo summit covering Covington boys not so much.
How was it NOT a failure? Trump stinks
Oh Puh-LEEZE...Trump made that 'Grand Package' offer to Kim against he advice of not only John Bolton but nearly everyone else involved. And now Bolton's running cover for him? Give me a break
John, Trump is not interested in 'American interests.' He is only interested in Trump's interests. He dealt away our readiness for battle with his abandonment of joint military exercises with South Korea (and our national security), and what did he get in return? Nothing. Nada.
It was a huge victory for realDonaldTrump I presume? Where can I find the mental institution
Not a failure for Kim since he got trump to stop military drills in South Korea
Wow, a token truthful story.
Turns out he was tight when he said his opinion doesn't matter.
Alternative covfefe? 🤔
A total waste of taxpayers money both trump and the summit.
The whole administration is delusional.
just the quest of point of view .. 'alternative facts' ?
just like John Bolton is not a failure, NOT a failure, ok
WELL ACCORDING TO ALL OTHER NEWS AGENCIES IT WAS A DISASTER, BUT SINCE THAT THEY ARE OWNED BY THE DEMS THEY WILL ALWAYS SPIN THE LIES NOT THE TRUTH MAYBE ONE DAY THEY WILL BE INDEPENDENT OWNERS THAT CANT BE BRIBED BY EITHER PARTY AND THEN THEY WILL COVER THE TRUTH AGAIN!!!!
It was a good opportunity to demonstrate that both presidents have the desire and will to a good agreement between both countries . very fruitful and constructive.
missb62 Of course it wasn't a failure, Trump was the failure.
Gaslighting 101.
Never trust a Bolton!
A R E Y O U S E R I O U S ❓
Communication is never a failure if left open, not closed. This is closer than any other President has ever come and he will close this once it is fair to all Americans.
Really, JohnBolton North Korea shit show wasn't a failure?
This made in Pinocchio de Gepeto that I remember. Este hizo en Pinocho de Gepeto que me acuerdo.
He’s a pawn like all the people in 🍊🤡’s administration
🙄
Nice try but NO !
Right, Bud...right...lol
Once Trump is removed one way or the other the SK-US exercises will resume. These idiots are being played by Trump, Putin, MBS. This was all planned long in advance of Trump running for office.
Neither side could be arsed. So, other than a junket to distract, what was it all about?
The Trump administration is the Failure !
AmbJohnBolton It was a complete and utter failure.
The biggest disaster America has ever seen is trump a non stop liar, 300 lbs of fat and supernova of ignorance, supreme sociopath so look forward to 2020 when trump is gone and GOP eviscerated as viable party !
Hurricane Katrina was a divesting.
Cool story bro. Keep telling yourself that.
North Korea summit was not a failure, realDonaldTrump got laid! plus I got my walrus moutache admired by follicly challenged Vietnamese nostalgic about their swinging sixties & rocking seventies with Americans! John Walrus Bolton...
With the way you negotiate with Kim, you will never get a good result. Donald Trump and you are cunning and liar.
I guess it depends on which side you are referring to. Clearly a failure for US!
Yeah. Bolton forgot that wig-boy signed a lease for 2 new hotels. Wig-boy agreed to let Kim's sister run them.
Um
Were the sanctions lifted? Did we send them $150 BILLION so they’d like us? Did we get our hostages back? Did we get 55 US military remains? Are Japan and South Korea upset with Trumps efforts? NO? Failure? WaPo sells failure where global negotiating exists. HYPOCRISY? You bet.
Yeah, for North Korea.
If you fail, you will not say, because you just cry lies to the authorities and the people.
Failure!
Once again - KJU et all RAN from Trump rather than even pretend there was negotiating going on. They know he's a bad bet. This was another TrumpFail
When you feel the need to claim something was not a failure, it was most likely was a failure.
Why does the media allow these idiots a platform. Please don't say it's freedom of speech. An independent news paper has the right to say no when it is not news worthy and just propaganda.
Of coarse it wasn’t a failure. Trump 2020
It was an 'alternate' failure.
Alright then, what were its winning points?
Failure! You have no way to prove or disprove it because tRump being the criminal he is didn’t have any American media or interpreter present!! You live by the sword, you die by the sword. ShitholePresident
Oh please
We could be going to war with them right now ovama did tell trumo they were on ymrhwre way to war and it is his biggest problem now.
He's right, it was not a failure because it was never meant to accomplish a damn thing to start with. The trip was to take away news coverage from Michael Cohen and monkey shining for his base.
It got DonaldTrump out of the country and out of the way for a few days...
And the sky is not above us and grass is not green, ever. FreeThePress
Narrator: True. The summit wasn’t just a failure, it was an utter failure.
And this mustache makes me irresistible to women!!!
Says mr war monger......
Trump has no understanding of diplomacy--flattery and potential hotel deals are HIS currency. Not relevant to Kim, 'supreme leader' for life with hermetically sealed nation. Here's where ability to read might come in handy.
SupermanHotMale Says a member of The Traitor Administration. We believe you.
We’re going to listen to him? His mustache is a failure.
Spin or not to spin, that's the question Alt right facts are far from reality.
Clear winner wasn’t USA
Well it seems like they are both lovers scorned so who knows
Totally agree.. and the earth is probably flat too.. 🤦🏻♀️
Hahahahahaaaha. Right.
I would say it was a great success! Donnie was out of the country for a few days and couldn’t mess with anything important. MoreTravelPlease
But his facial hair choices sure are
So what did we gain? A photo of our president cozying up with a mass murdering dictator?

Gepeto saying his pinnochio boy Dtrumpf was saying all is good
Better to have a dialog with NK than no dialog with NK. As long as Kim isn’t flight testing new boosters, that itself is a positive.
Lol....keep digging
Your mustache smells like Cheetos, Bolton.
But, that mustachio sure is...
Collected air miles
He’s right, it was a huge success for North Korea and KJU
The Trump Administration, redefining failure since 2017.
from NK's perspective it certainly wasn't.
So why did Trump go.
Well it was, I missed my lunch !
When the White House pressures Japan for a Nobel Peace Prize nomination, it’s a clear sign that realDonaldTrump is desperate for a deal with NoKo. No amount of lipstick will improve this pig.
So wait! The missiles are flying again? The nuke tests are still going on? The same things that went on when Oblama was Prez? NO? Failure? Failure is when we go to war bc those actions necessitated that action.
Nothing accomplished at the summit, but hey at least realDonaldTrump got us a participation trophy...MAGA
If there is one winner than it is Kim and not Trump. Kim puts himself on worldstage and Trump just make himself big failure concerning negotiations and diplomacy. The world is waiting for the moment that this imbecile just disappears. FOR GOOD. And the rest of his administration
😂😂😂🤦♂️
Gurgle...We are not sinking!!!...gasp!...gurgle...- Captain of the Titanic
Chernobyl was not a failure
Of course it wasn't! It was merely a part of the negotiating efforts in the hopes of reaching a peaceful and prosperous resolution. It took reagan 5 meetings to achieve success with Gorbachev! This was meeting no 2 for Trump!
Salesmen take months or sometimes years to land a deal.
This man is the Beast
Yes it was. Walking out without any attempt at negotiations is a failure. That he didn't lift sanctions is not a win.
Guess it depends on your definition of failure.. 'lack of success, an unsuccessful person, enterprise, or thing, the omission of expected or required action, negligence, a lack or deficiency of a desirable quality'
Herbert Hoover: my economic policies were not a failure.
For North Korea
No other assessment would have been permitted (so it is meaningless).
Noooooooooo!, Whoaw, thanks John, I was not certain! ... Now I am!
For North Korea.
If Trump had to lie about the sanctions it was a failure.
The only failure is neo-con John Bolton.
Bolton likely actively sabotaged it actually becuase he's a warmongering lunatic
If North Korea summit was not a failure, I don't want to be around for the real failure.
He still insists the Iraq war was a success, so...
Yes it was
He says the same about the 🍊🤡.
Alternative succes
Kookookachoo IAmTheWalrus
The Hindenburg was not a total disaster, it produced good scrap metal.
Maybe he should try to sneak a pallet full of currency (never voted on by Congress) on a night plane to get a deal that does absolutely nothing? lol But hey, Obama stuck the Iran Hostage payout that that money was frozen for on the tax payers in the next budget. Even paid kid
It sure as hell wasn't a success !
OK John.
It was a complete and utter failure... We got nothing and gave up our military exercises with South Korea. We got owned.
IS THIS THE SAME DOUCHE THAT CALLED THE IRAN DEAL WITH FULL INSPECTIONS AND WAS SIGNED ON BY ALL US ALLIES A FAILURE? 🤡
He makes Bannon look like JFK.
It is a complete failure how u can trust a Dictator?
Two meetings. Calm down.
Bolton is servant class, but useful to POTUS for now. The whole 'keep your enemies closer' thing.
The HanoiSummit was a catastrophe.
No, Donald Trump was the failure. The summit played out exactly as people expected.
Hey! Bolton! Kim will never de-nuke. He will never capitulate to America. Doing so reflects weakness.
And when asked to explain why he....couldn't....
It wasn't a failure--just a debacle
