about the pictures he sent back home they were unique and historic but that is in animation because there is a long road to go here. and i know the president wants like he s at the end of the road. i m told by some folks that i ve spoken to in the last 24 hours, he s aware of how much work needs needs to occur between now and completing in some way a verifiable manner, that is not what he s touting publicly because he wants to score the big w. on the scoreboard. and we remember the mission accomplished moment in the u.s. when they went in to get saddam hussein and he said mission accomplished which turned out to be not msion accomd. obviousl. i think trump says that he trusts kim jong-un here. and i think these the statements that he s put out suggest that. suggest that he feels good about this relationship. and also is very i think
