Well, Donald Trump right now is on his way to Vietnam for his little summit with North Korean dictator. Kim Jong-un any promises us. He is totally going to get everything the United States wants out of this deal done and worked out. And when he comes home we are going to have peace with North Korea and they're going to be one of our super bestest friends. In reality, Trump's own administration is having to go out there right now and tell the public, hey, um, could you guys just curtail your, your expectations here? Uh, please understand that we're probably not going to accomplish anything. You know, this is probably going to take lots of meetings and lots of trips and lots of time. So just kind of ignore what Donald Trump is saying and we're, at least that's the message that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivered to Fox News is Chris Wallace this past weekend. He said that we need to curtail our expectations for this meeting, which again is a stark contrast to what Donald Trump himself has been tweeting out for weeks now that he was going to meet with Kim Jong-un, that they've made great progress already and that we're totally going to seal the deal with this meeting at Vietnam.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders just last week said that we should go ahead and declare it a victory for the president even going over there to speak to Kim Jong-un. That's, that's it. Like all he has to do is speak to him. And according to Sarah Huckabee Sanders, that's a victory. Trump has repeatedly told us that he has accomplished what no other US president ever has and that is getting North Korea at the negotiations table and making a deal with them. Unfortunately, Trump's own advisors, uh, his own military strategists, his own national security advisors have told us that none of this is true. Dan Coats during his recent testimony, uh, to Congress and Dan Coats by the way, happens to be a Donald Trump's national security advisor. Um, Dan Coats says that, yeah, North Korea is never going to give up their nukes. They like them, they don't want to lose them, and there's really nothing we can do as a country to make them give those up.
