WHILE YOU WERE OFFLINE: SO WHAT DID TRUMP AND KIM JONG-UN AGREE ON ANYWAY?

It seems like we say this every seven days now, but man, a lot happened last week. For one, President Trump's campaign chair Paul Manafort went to jail the same day it was reported his attorney Michael Cohen was apparently open to flipping. For another, trolls forced Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown off Twitter. There was also the matter of people getting upset at Robbie Williams for his World Cup opener. So, yeah, it's been a roller coaster. What else has been happening? So glad you asked! Read on, MacDuffs.

When Trump Met Kim...
What Happened: On one hand, the North Korea/US summit didn’t result in nuclear war, but it also didn't end incredibly well, either.

What Really Happened: Fresh from attacking Canada at the end of the G7 summit (which he left early, withdrawing his endorsement of the agreed-upon final statement in the process), President Trump flew to Singapore for what might be the most high-profile meeting of his tenure so far: The off-again, on-again meeting with North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Un. Only scheduled to last a day, few were convinced anything of value would come of it, which is why this rumor towards the end seemed so surprising.

But, wait. What did the statement actually say?

The full thing was released for people to read themselves, but it didn’t impress many of them. On social media, initial responses from foreign policy experts were, shall we say, not entirely positive.

Some saw this deal in contrast to the (now-junked) Iran nuclear deal…

…But at least the president was happy, right? It seemed that way from his tweets.

Ahead of the summit, much was made about whether or not Trump would raise the issue of North Korea’s human rights abuses. The White House initially said he would discuss the subject, then that he wouldn’t. Post-summit, the president talked to Fox News and was asked directly about Kim Jong-Un’s human rights record.
