President Donald Trump met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un on Sunday morning after putting out the invitation to do so on social media yesterday. 

After some very important meetings, including my meeting with President Xi of China, I will be leaving Japan for South Korea (with President Moon). While there, if Chairman Kim of North Korea sees this, I would meet him at the Border/DMZ just to shake his hand and say Hello(?)!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 28, 2019

The two leaders met in the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea when Kim invited President Trump to walk into North Korea. He accepted the invitation and became the first sitting U.S. president to do so.

Before leaving the Korean Peninsula, President Trump said nuclear negotiations with Kim's regime with continue after being stalled for months.

Leaving South Korea after a wonderful meeting with Chairman Kim Jong Un. Stood on the soil of North Korea, an important statement for all, and a great honor!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 30, 2019

Just before the historic meeting, newly minted White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham literally pushed back on North Korean security guards, who were blocking reporters, in order get American press access to the historic moment.

Grisham was seen on camera pushing back North Koreans who were blocking US press. Shouting "Go! Go!" as she created a path for press to join the Trump-Kim meeting. https://t.co/smFer0JwGw— Allie Malloy (@AlliemalCNN) June 30, 2019

It must be noted that Kim also crossed the line.

The joint message: I went, so can you.

I cannot possibly fathom how deeply this dagger has stabbed into the heart of liberal America. The delicious —how can I fully relish it? It boggles the mind.

If you went to Yahoo, you’d never know that Trump went to North Korea. A complete news blackout.

Prolly talking about how ‘Drumpf’ was merely reporting back to his ‘control’.

Sarcastic? Yes, but in line with the ‘over the edge’ views of the leftists. Anticipating thousands of leftist heads to explode!

They will never ever ever ever give Trump the Nobel peace prize. Even if he brought democracy to NORK and Kim stepped down and they started having elections, and the North and south united and he brought democracy to Iran and everywhere in the world was peace and sunshine and flowers and love and kisses they will never ever ever give him that prize. That prize is only reserved for mincing metrosexuals who belong to the correct party and have the correct skin tone. Merely being elected is enough for them to get awarded the Nobel peace prize.

Stephanopolous was saying it was just symbolic showmanship but all he did was defuse tensions he hismelf rose with his rocketman tweet. He said you can't call this trip a win because he didn't get a trade deal with China and North Korea didn't denuclearize on it and the media critized him for not starting a war with Putin so it's not been a good week for him.

I'm not kidding.

Pi$$ on the Nobel Medal. They’ve given it to too many undeserving recipients. It has no value any longer, if it ever had any in the first place! If it’s offered to Trump, he should refuse it.

A complete news blackout.

This is a breathtakingly historic event irregardless of president.

American "journalism" is absolutely disgusting.

They need to just f-ing die in the darkness.

ABC hired a dem spin doctor to be their news director. He’s still a dem spin doctor, simple as that.
