"Kim Jong-un blinked and backed off some of his threats. So is it possible that some of the President’s amped up rhetoric worked?" That was John Berman today at CNN's Newsroom blurting out that perhaps President Donald Trump should get credit for North Korea backing down on its threat to hit Guam with a missile. Unfortunately for Berman, he broke an important taboo among the left that Trump should never be given credit for any positive achievements.
So how to explain that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un apparently blinked? Well, Vox has come up with a highly creative, if laughable, solution.

No question..Kim realized the President means business. That, and only that, is the reason he backed down.
Sad that the MSM hasn’t covered this more.
He doesn't really boast and the MSM doesn't report it.
Hopefully historians will get it right. They may want to consult some FR threads. I still remember that minutes after 9/11 happened, FReepers were calling it, saying it was Al Quaeda. There are some very knowledgeable people here.
We should compile a Trump thread, so things can be easily found.
The little pot-bellied tinhorn dictator backed down when he realized that Trump was going to kick his ass.
Question? Does CNN write for Maxine Waters or does Maxine Waters write for CNN?
Actually, North Korea backed down because of global warming.
