I laughed out loud while watching Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC. Mitchell admitted that there was nothing to this “agreement.” And she seemed, although it is hard to tell with Mitchell, more than a little stunned by this development.
And she was the not the only one stunned by this Nothing Burger. Christine Welker could only keep saying that the signed statement left a lot of “unanswered” questions. I’m pretty sure that “unanswered” in Mediaspeak is “I was all set to gush about the magic that Trump was going to perform with Kim Jong-un, but there is nothing here!”
It’s as if the Media expected a raging ignoramus like Trump to practice and succeed at actual diplomacy.
It’s not like the Media doesn’t have access to foreign policy experts that tried to tell them, “Trump is an idiot.” Granted, most of those experts put that concensus into polite diplomatic language, but they did say it multiple times and in a variety of ways. But like their hero Trump, the Media appears to have placed their collective hands over their ears and sing, “La, la, la...etc.”
Weren’t they in Canada recently??
