President Donald Trump brags about his ability to make a deal and "get" deals, but when it comes to North Korea, the president has fallen flat. Now that he's back to the United States and has the ability to watch cable news coverage of that failure at the Summit, he appears to be passing the buck.
The Wall Street Journal reported this week that the "deal" was off before the summit even took place.
They cited Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who warned before the event began that it might be nothing more than an expensive tea party. Yet, the president still opted to blame Democrats.
"For the Democrats to interview in open hearings a convicted liar & fraudster, at the same time as the very important Nuclear Summit with North Korea, is perhaps a new low in American politics and may have contributed to the 'walk,'" Trump tweeted Sunday.
Unfortunately for Trump, he may not realize he just admitted that he can't do his job as president while investigations are clouding his judgment.
