President Donald Trump Monday night tweeted about the “great meeting” he had with Kim Jong-un and said he’s looking forward to their next meeting.
Trump tweeted out an invite a few days ago to Kim Jong-un to briefly meet up at the DMZ, and they did, with the president stepping into North Korea.
Monday night Trump tweeted, “It was great being with Chairman Kim Jong Un of North Korea this weekend. We had a great meeting, he looked really well and very healthy – I look forward to seeing him again soon… In the meantime, our teams will be meeting to work on some solutions to very long term and persistent problems. No rush, but I am sure we will ultimately get there!”

The president calling Kim “really well and very healthy” did not go unremarked upon:
TRUMP praises KIM JONG UN for looking “really well and very healthy.”
MEANWHILE: More than 10 million North Koreans are suffering “severe food shortages” after the worst harvest in a decade, according to a @UN food security assessment released in May. https://t.co/9PoDeLIJD7 https://t.co/2mPuCBSrLt

Honestly can you imagine if Obama spouted this bullshit what Republicans would be doing. Talk about nuclear.
What a bunch of cowards. https://t.co/Oh1zZSi2Mm
