This is the man who doesn’t trust Robert Mueller, but believes Putin when he says he didn’t meddle…
President Trump answers question on North Korea while departing the White House for Pennsylvania:
"I think North Korea is going to go very well. They promised they wouldn't be shooting off missiles in the meantime, and they're looking to de-nuke." pic.twitter.com/4JG3SJDPzM

Not sure about this one, though…
In the first hours after hearing that North Korea’s leader wanted to meet with me to talk denuclearization and that missile launches will end, the press was startled & amazed.They couldn’t believe it. But by the following morning the news became FAKE.They said so what, who cares!

I HOPE Trump can convince Kim Jong-un to give up permanently North Korea's nuclear weapons & ballistic missiles. I FEAR Trump has not developed a strategy for achieving that outcome.

Trump just tweeted that Pennsylvania should support Rick Saccone because “Rick will help ME a lot.”
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Congress’s job is not to protect & serve Donald Trump. Congress’s job is to protect & serve the people, which is why #PA18 is going to #VoteLamb on March 13th.

The NI border seems symbolic of Brexit as a whole…. an arrogant disregard for anyone else’s perspective, a refusal to deal with detail and a stubborn burying of heads in the sand when pragmatism is required.
