Pull out, only to own the NFL - what a deal — no love, no long time, but #Winning as Trump owns the NFL now, but loses at summitry.
Not enough Snowflakes at the Winter Olympics...
Maybe it really was because North Korea hurt “Mother’s” Boy’s feelings by calling him a “political dummy”. Why else would Pence tweet #Winning now?
More likely calling the DPRK a ‘murderous regime’ didn’t help Pence’s February snub of the DPRK delegation at the Winter Olympics.
Even more amusing is that this is an InfoWars meme — comparing Pence to Colin Kaepernick. The DPRK propaganda crew has smarts not lost in translation.
So Thursday needed a lot of 45* distractions, since the Trump “spy” meme is going nowhere fast.
Another diplomatic round begins, and probably Pence won’t have a seat. Because it’s a pageant (see Wag the Dog).
But maybe the WH wasn’t really interested in the June 12 meeting at all, except to pimp that Nobel Prize meme.
President Donald Trump praised NFL owners for banning sideline protests of racism and police brutality — and suggested players who kneel should be removed from the country.
The president spoke one-on-one with “Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmeade during an interview that aired Wednesday morning that mostly focused on immigration and border security, but Trump said owners had not gone far enough by allowing players to remain in the locker room during the national anthem.
“I don’t think people should be staying in locker rooms, but still I think it’s good — you have to stand proudly for the national anthem or you shouldn’t be playing, you shouldn’t be there,” Trump said.

US VICE President Mike Pence and North Korean officials had planned to meet secretly during the 2018 Winter Olympic Games, but Pyongyang scrapped the talks after Mr Pence denounced abuses from the “murderous regime”, US officials said on Tuesday.
Pence did not interact with the North Koreans even though he was seated in the same box as them at the opening ceremony of the Games earlier this month — nor did he shake hands with the North’s ceremonial head of state Kim Yong Nam during an earlier leaders’ reception.
The US vice president, who led the American delegation to the Games, said at the time he travelled with the father of late former prisoner Otto Warmbier to the South to “remind the world of the atrocities happening in North Korea”.
Darn that ‘little rocket man’ and his ‘murderous regime’… displaying ‘tremendous anger and open hostility’ in a single recent statement (tu quoque).
Will Trump shake down the US to prevent a shooting war by wagging a dog for peace because of the Mueller report’s findings. That’ll impress the Nobel Prize committee.

'Deal of the day': White House shop cuts price of North Korea summit coin
A note on the White House gift shop website described the coin, which comes in a black velvet case, as the “deal of the day”. The deal of the day price is $19.95, down from the regular price of $24.95.
The product description said the coin, designed to celebrate the summit, “will be made whether or not the summit occurs”.
According to the White House gift shop, this is because “the theme is coming close to peace and celebrates the act of communication among countries”.
The description adds that people buying the commemorative coin can request a refund if the summit does not occur. But according to the gift shop, “most supporters have said they want this heirloom of political history regardless of outcome”.
