There’s also this from Matt Yglesias…
LOL. Because Trump has a nasty habit of running his mouth off. Trump challenge Kim into a meeting thinking he would never accept. Kim called Trump on his bluff, and what we’ve been seeing for the past several weeks is a game of chicken.
NK’s representative said something inflammatory, so now Trump uses that as an excuse to jump ship.
And of course Repubs will praise Trump for his “Teddy Roosevelt” like leadership.
I mostly meant that he did it by writing a letter that sounded like he was a spurned 12 year old breaking up with his girlfriend before he got dumped.
Do you think this will hurt his chances at that Nobel Peace Prize that everyone is saying he should be getting?
Summit is off. Will they melt down those Challenge Coins? Can we rule out these knuckleheads for the Nobel Peace Prize now? Will we see more tweets about Little Rocketman and The Dotard?
Hey, healthcare’s a mess. I will fix it.
Oh, I didn’t know it would be hard to fix.
Good thing we have patriotic Republicans in Congress who will check and balance his idiocy. Oh wait…
I know he says he’s taking a break from SDMB, but I’m fairly sure he’s still lurking…
Hi Ditka!
Maybe he can submit his Twitter feed for the Literature prize instead.
Have they ever given the Nobel to an author of Fantasy?
Obama won one for…what was it for?
that Obama award was dumb. They must have been drinking that year .
Providing hope that America wasn’t a lost cause.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez didn’t exactly write fantasy, but books like 100 Years of Solitude were somewhat surreal.
I really like reading the original OP of this thread. It’s pretty funny now.
yeah- because what Pence said was totally cool and collected - along with Trump’s own statements recently about it.
"I have to tell you, it’s an unbelievably complex subject. Nobody knew that North Korea could be so complicated.”
The letter canceling the summit is a wonder to behold, and I don’t mean that in a good way. It has be a new low in diplomacy. It is, in fact, so riddled with awkward phrasing, bad grammar, and incomprehensible logic that a two-bit tinpot dictatorship would have been embarrassed by it. It’s so awful that I’m thinking Trump himself must have written parts of it, or else everyone working for him is both incompetent and illiterate in equal measure.
A few choice bits:
We were informed that the meeting was requested by North Korea, but that to us is totally irrelevant.
What??? I repeat, what??? WTF does this even mean?
Sadly, based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, …
Nice move. The first thing to do in any diplomatic communication is insult the other party by blaming them for everything and calling them a bunch of angry and hostile meanies.
Therefore, please let this letter serve to represent that the Singapore summit, for the good of both parties, but to the detriment of the world, will not take place.
“Please let this letter serve to represent” is not a phrase I have ever seen in any language that I speak. This is then followed by the inscrutable observation that canceling the summit is somehow good for the US and North Korea, but terrible for the rest of the world.
You talk about nuclear capabilities, but ours are so massive and powerful that I pray to God they will never have to be used.
This has to be the first time in history that a US diplomatic communication has ever stated “mine is way bigger than yours” and “we is so big and mighty youse don’t wanna mess with us”. This has “Trump” written all over it. It has to be.
Some day, I look very much forward to meeting you.
That would be “I very much look forward to meeting you someday”. But, hey, what’s two ungrammatical word transpositions and one spelling mistake for every ten words, other than it sounds like it was written by a newly arrived immigrant from one of those famous African shitholes who was just starting his ESL course?
If you change your mind having to do with this most important summit, please do not hesitate to call me or write.
Wait a minute. Who’s the one doing the canceling here? How does this make even the remotest bit of sense? Also, “if you change your mind having to do with …” is not actually English, but at this point it hardly even matters.
Nice poster name/post combo. 
From the OP
Bwhahaha!!! I just can’t even…
Let’s see if we can track the brilliant Art of the Deal that Trump tracked through the Korean Peninsula:
Step 1 - Declare victory
Step 2 - Announce a meeting
Step 3 - Declare that you’ve achieved all of your objectives
Step 4 - Announce a meeting location
Step 5 - Declare that you will destroy the North Koreans
Step 6 - Issue commemorative coins
Step 7 - Cancel the meeting
The sheer brilliance of it all…
Are we tired of winning yet?
