Trump Triumphs On North Korea, Stands Strong On Iran, But Media Attacks Continue

This past week President Trump had another bout of winning, though you’d never know it from most media coverage.

CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta synopsized it nicely, and was much mocked by conservatives on Twitter: “Obama policies dumped by Trump: Iran deal, Paris Climate Agreement, Trans-Pacific Trade Deal, DACA, ObamaCare Individual Mandate.”

Twitter’s right side piled on, with The Federalist Co-Founder Sean Davis noting how Acosta was “running campaign ads for Trump.” Acosta apparently failed to understand how getting rid of Obama programs was a feature, not a bug, of the Trump presidency.

President Trump added to his list of achievements with a huge win in North Korea, another against ISIS and a particularly enjoyable one as a top opponent’s entire career melted down in the space of minutes.

The president’s latest winning streak was kicked into high gear at the intersection of two stories the media covered poorly this past week. They involved two of the three members of President George W. Bush’s famous “Axis of Evil” – Iran and North Korea.

President Trump announced that the United States was withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal, a non-treaty he had repeatedly criticized. Media reaction escalated when The New York Times whined that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wasn’t around for the Iran announcement. “At a Key Moment, Trump’s Top Diplomat Is Again Thousands of Miles Away,” the paper headlined.

It turns out that Pompeo was in North Korea, bringing back three Americans held captive in that country. Pompeo’s move comes prior to a June 12 summit between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in Singapore.

President Trump taunted the newspaper: “The Failing New York Times criticized Secretary of State Pompeo for being AWOL (missing), when in fact he was flying to North Korea.

The Media Campaign to Downplay Trump’s Deal With North Korea has Begun

Cut the press pool and rotate the seats.

The Media and the Left do not have a clue about how the world actually works.

Former President Obama and his team were clueless regarding how the world works as well and as a consequence America almost fell from her Superpower status.

President Trump is unique in many respects. We’ve never seen this type of individual running the country and after getting used to the IN YOUR FACE approach, it is now becoming a very pleasant change of pace.

The Ministry of Propaganda is apoplectic that the Kenyanesian Usurpation is being erased.

I haven’t seen any coverage of Sec’y Pompeo’s reception in Pyongyang. Do the Norks at least roll up a stairway to his plane? I ask because I remember when at a summit meeting, the Chinese rolled out a red carpet stairway for every world leader except Obama—he had to deplane using AF1’s built in steps.

“Do the Norks at least roll up a stairway to his plane?”

Norks don’t have any carpet left in the country. They have eaten it all. They are moving on to grass seed right now
