OR..... MAYBE....
Maybe it's the Chinese trying to derail this train. Could be that Xi was getting concerned that NK might be trying to trade up for new deep-pockected patron.

Trump says U.S., North Korea talking again

President Trump said Friday that the U.S. is again talking with North Korean officials, a day after he canceled a June 12 denuclearization summit due to Pyongyang’s “hostility” toward his administration.

We’re talking to them now,” Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House. “They very much want to do it. We’d like to do it. We’ll see what happens.”

The White House even left open the possibility Friday of dispatching a summit planning team to Singapore if the meeting is rescheduled.

“There are still a few hours left to decide,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters. “If it takes place on June 12, we’ll be ready. If it takes place on July 12, we’ll be ready.”

Mr. Trump said North Korea released a “very nice statement” in response to his canceling the summit in Singapore. He said the meeting could even be put back on track for June 12.

In a statement Thursday night, a top North Korean official expressed Pyongyang’s willingness to meet with Mr. Trump “anytime and in any format.” The statement said North Korea is “open-minded in giving time and opportunity to the U.S.”

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Thursday that North Korean officials had stopped communicating with U.S. officials in recent days. The White House also said that North Korea stood up a U.S. advance team in Singapore last week for a meeting that was intended to work on preparations for the June 12 summit.

Asked if North Korea is playing games, Mr. Trump said, “Everybody plays games. You know that better than anybody.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, said he spoke with Mr. Trump on Thursday, and the president feels as if North Korea was trying to manipulate him.

“The president feels like they’re playing him, so he brought it to an end, and we’ll see if we can reengage,” Mr. Graham told radio host Hugh Hewitt. “I personally believe, having talked to the president as of yesterday, that he’s going to bring this to conclusion in his first term. He’s made a decision to end the North Korean nuclear program. He wants to do it peacefully, if possible.”

I think we need to learn to completely ignore everything trump says. Some in here do that selectively anyway.

Instead just look at his actions and accomplishments. Like most carnival barkers if you do so life is much easier. Lots of talk but that’s about it.

The emperor has no jammies.

Actually, I think some of the anti-Trump rhetoric has stimulated important discussions.
If the morons could just forget about Russia for two minutes there could be some real organic change for the better.


Look at the pathetic #MeToo movement.
As insane as those attention whores are, the result has been an awareness towards responsibility by those in positions of power.

Men have been wielding their influence-driven libido for generations.
The fact that it's being "exposed" now during Trumps reign is not coincidental.


Other than that, TW is right. Much should be ignored or at least down played until there is action or results.
