So, it appears that Trump’s desire to dominate everyone around him and to be the most unpredictable man alive has at least temporarily overcome his lust for a Nobel Peace Prize.
The clear winners in this are Kim and the Chinese. The biggest loser is South Korea, which is now facing the possibility of war again. We come next; it’s hard to imagine the rest of the world ramping up and enforcing sanctions when Trump was the one who called off the meeting.
Personally, I think this is a temporary condition. On Korea, Trump wants attention and a “win,” not war. Nothing he says or does should be taken seriously until he signs on the dotted line–here, or anywhere else.
This will end with him giving away the store and demanding credit for it.
