So were trying to 'fix' obamas debacle!

The art of the deal.......🤣🤣🤣🤣

Come on democrats. It's driving y'all mad. The plan is in place. And it's working. I love watching how y'all make shit up to satisfy all that hatred for POTUS. DEMOCRATS = SATAN'S CALVARY... WAKE UP AMERICA

Translation? Trump caved to Kim while going 'Wow, and I thought I was the biggest whiner on the planet'.

I hope we got tight reconnaissance on that zipperhead. I don't trust that little fat shit..

USM running out of funds to do silly unnecesary things.

Good step 👍

Apparently trump's meeting with Kim was too much for trump to swallow. What did kim agree to concede? Is he going to close a few hospitals and kill some doctors and nurses? The art of the deal...

When Koreans was trying to reach the nuclear weapons, we had to be more careful!

It's nice when the POTUS realDonaldTrump sides with the murderous dictators and gives in their demands while getting nothing at all in return. Americans must be so proud.

Again, while getting nothing from the DPRK.

Negotiation with a mad leader is fool!

And what did we get? Thought this dude was a master negotiator.

Come on Democrats tell us how Orange man bad and War Games good.

realDonaldTrump gave Kim what he wanted.
