i think it s fair sure and there was a reason i think for those fox commentators to be sceptical when president obama suggested it. it was eyebrowing raising. sceptical is what we re supposed to be as journalists of both sides. i thought it was telling that even before the summit started, commentators on fox were saying that trump wasn t going to get any credit and the media was out to get him and the media was un-american wanting this to fail. the bar was even being set before the summit started. we see this alternative universe that president trump and his supporters play into. the nuclear threat has been resolved and its over. he s doing the same thing that fox commentators do by trying to create this alternative narrative where he s already the hero and achieved victory. i was about to suggest the limbo bar for how limber some people have to be and the contorgsism that they re shifting in to here.
