Didnt leak. The source added, its not like donald trump hadnt foreshadowed the possibility. Fair enough, but its unclear exactly what the president was trying to foreshadow in these remarks this morning. Mr. President , is the summit still off . Were going to see what happens. Were talking to them now. It was a very nice statement they put out. Well see what happens. No, no, well see what happens. It could even be the 12th. Were talking to them now. They very much want to do it. Wed like to do it. Were going see what happens. I dont know anything about it. John, everybody plays games. You know that. You know that better than anybody. And new reporting in the Washington Post suggests that any decision on north korea was borne more out of trumps concern for his own ego than carefully considered policy.

I eat it every month, and people dont believe me. Ive got to tell you, i got a lot of push back after our discussion at the top of the show. I bet you did.
