And here it is. The historic moment that a smiling President Trump met with sadistic evil North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and shook hands with him.
Incredible. And there’s our flag with the totalitarian North Korean flag raised to equal level.
They also took some photos in the negotiation room.
It is really quite shocking. Trump is lending this scumbag a lot of legitimacy, and he better get something out of it. Not that it matters, the Sean Hannity crowd has already awarded him the Nobel Peace Prize a million times over. I guess we shall see what comes of this.
This is an open thread about the North Korean summit. I’ll update with more news.
UPDATE:
They came out and hung out at the balcony:
JUST IN: President Trump and Kim emerge from first meeting.

"Very good. Very, very good. Excellent relationship," says President Trump https://t.co/SjJeNHlVRD pic.twitter.com/h4rx81lnEr
Some scamps on the internet are mocking our great president, but I won’t post such scurrilous messages HERE.
UPDATE:
As Trump and Kim were walking to their meeting, the North Korean translator told Trump: "Many people will think this as a science fiction movie." (according to White House television pool, via Bloomberg) https://t.co/mNOfzMBMdg pic.twitter.com/DToUbs5CVU
