Something's not right here! Why apologize for the 1st time ever? Could it be that South Korea is a friendly & strong ally to the United States & Kim Jong un wants them to change sides to get rid of us & make it easier for when they & Russia attack us with the help of Trump!?🤔🤔

I am surprised Jared didn't want to take credit for this initiative.
