Admit it.
The moment the news broke that Trump had pulled out of the Saigon Summit you rushed over to the timelines of Tommy Vietor, Ben Rhodes, and Jon Favreau to see how quickly they could side with North Korea in all of this and pretend somehow that Kim Jong-un got the DROP on Trump.
Because that’s exactly what they did.
This North Korea fiasco shows how much Trump gets graded on a curve. He accomplished nothing. The process was obviously flawed. But pundits rushed to prematurely praise him to balance out all the well-deserved criticism that came before.

Tommy was better when he was driving the van.
And c’mon, fiasco? Three hostages released, the demolition of a nuclear testing site, the leaders of North and South Korea meeting?
That’s a fiasco.
K.
"He accomplished nothing"
Three Americans who may disagree with you:
1. Kim Dong Chul
2. Kim Hak-song
3. Kim Sang Duk, also known as Tony Kim— HeisenbergHattie (@HBergHattie) May 24, 2018
Hey now, Tommy drove a van, he knows stuff.

3 former hostages and a demolished nuclear site seems to indicate otherwise, but you do you, partisan podbro.

Maybe if Trump had sent N. Korea billions of dollars and/or drawn some magical red line Tommy would be more impressed.

Trump has never once explained what he is trying to achieve in North Korea and how is he going to achieve it. All he has done is raise expectations on himself which gives leverage away to everyone else (see: China trade talks) https://t.co/Q4WhquSKDB

Huh?
Ok, Ben.
You know that face you make when you’re not sure if the milk you just drank has gone bad or not?
Yup, we made that exact face.
Pretty sure pallets of cash sent in the dark of night would have helped.

We got nothin’.
At first I thought someone had created an Axios parody account, but no, it appears to be real.
Would love to hear what Trump “milked” from North Korea. https://t.co/e6skEo4vPN
— Jon Favreau (@jonfavs) May 24, 2018
No. Full stop.
Trump milking jokes are just too much today.
Some fawning punditry?
— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) May 24, 2018
Ummm.
North Korea still has all of its nuclear weapons. https://t.co/OADdiIDSm3

What?
We’re not the only ones who think these mean girls are just … well, mean.
