north korean leader kim jong-un which produced only a photo op. even that wasn t as cool as kim s white horse photos later in the year. yahoo!! i feel like the president has changed the way politics is being played. it s like crazy land right now. there s rules and laws that are being made up every second that none of us ever agreed on. should be done pretty close to next year. best broken campaign promise as far as democrats are concerned. that wall trump pledged to construct, three years in, only a tiny fraction is finished. the fact of the matter is the thing is not being built. and mexico is not paying for any of it. we must keep government open. as evidenced by a huge funding fight between trump and congress. it s a dark time. which no one really won. in the very beginning of the year we had a government shutdown. and people were not getting paid. for no reason.
