Trump holds 3,000 cases of the Russian-made vodka Stolbovaya hostage on the day of the summit.

Yikes, that would really hurt some people

Maybe while Trump is in Vietnam...he...can visit the final resting place of the soldier who took his spot.

Elkin, you are not a Vietnam veteran, so spare us your fake outrage.

Besides, perhaps Trump visited the person who took Bill Clinton's place or Joe Biden's place after they dodged the draft.

KIM 2 TRUMP 0

It seemed history was about to be made. Then the second meeting between the U.S. and North Korean leaders concluded abruptly.

The expectations were enormous: Perhaps Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un would, at a summit in Vietnam, finally declare an end to the Korean War, establish liaison offices in each other’s capitals, and trade the destruction of North Korea’s main nuclear facility for the easing of some sanctions against Pyongyang. There was a palpable sense that history was about to be made.

Instead, the second meeting between the two leaders ended in failure on Thursday, with a table set for a leaders’ lunch abandoned, a signing ceremony scrapped, and a terse statement from the White House press secretary: “No agreement was reached at this time.”

In a press conference pushed forward by a couple of hours, Trump revealed the sticking point that had scuttled talks: Kim wanted all international sanctions lifted as a condition for dismantling only his Yongbyon nuclear complex, which produces plutonium, tritium, and highly enriched uranium to fuel nuclear bombs. But American negotiators weren’t willing to entirely relieve the economic pressure that the United States has painstakingly amassed and maintained without Pyongyang providing a full inventory of its nuclear-weapons program and doing away with the components beyond Yongbyon, including additional suspected uranium-enrichment sites, ballistic missiles, nuclear warheads, and weapons systems.

Kim wanted all international sanctions lifted as a condition for dismantling only his Yongbyon nuclear complex, Trump said NO, let me know when you come around, bye bye.

Trump keeps on winning, Obama would have signed it, gave North Korea everything they asked for and proclaimed only he could have reached a nuclear agreement with North Korea, just as he did in Iran. He would have been given another Nobel Peace Prize and the media would have glorified his accomplishment. When the next President came in North Korea would be stronger than ever and have nuclear weapons ready to launch and have to deal with Obama's "nuclear deal"
