I have decided to terminate the planned Summit in Singapore on June 12th. While many things can happen and a great opportunity lies ahead potentially, I believe that this is a tremendous setback for North Korea and indeed a setback for the world… pic.twitter.com/jT0GfxT0Lc

Add North Korea to the list of countries which have successfully hustled the president of the United States, aka the world’s biggest mark.

This North Korea fiasco shows how much Trump gets graded on a curve. He accomplished nothing. The process was obviously flawed. But pundits rushed to prematurely praise him to balance out all the well-deserved criticism that came before.

.@sbg1 on the cancelled North Korea summit: “There's no other president who, of course, would have agreed spontaneously…to meet with the North Korean leader…without months or years of prior preparation and talks leading up to it." #MTPDaily

This latest trainwreck — Kim's opaque motives notwithstanding — had everything to do with US amateur hour — insufficient preparation; lack of discipline on statements(Pence/Bolton)Trump's raising expectations and confusion on what end game was to be.

South Korea was at a loss for words after Trump’s surprise announcement that he was scrapping next month’s planned nuclear summit w/ North Korea. “We are attempting to make sense of what, precisely, President Trump means" said SK's presidential spokesman. https://t.co/nI4lm7xpqt

Brexit has become a mess.
Those are the words of Vote Leave chief Dominic Cummings & Sir Ivan Rogers, former UK-EU Ambassador. They're both right.

Tommorow's abortion referendum could be one of those moments – like Brexit – when the Irish discover what kind of country they live in. Let's hope they make the caring and compassionate choice to give women the right make their own decisions about their bodies. https://t.co/db50mNNb31

Repeal the 8th. Good luck to the ‘Yes’ campaign in the referendum. Logic and compassion is on your side. Time for change has long since come. Hopefully, a clear result will bring much needed momentum for change in Northern Ireland.https://t.co/bBZltIqdJJ
