Trump After Kim Summit: World Has Taken ‘Big Step Back from Potential Nuclear Catastrophe!’

President Trump continued lauding his big, historic summit with Kim Jong Un tonight with a rather blunt assessment.

The World has taken a big step back from potential Nuclear catastrophe! No more rocket launches, nuclear testing or research! The hostages are back home with their families. Thank you to Chairman Kim, our day together was historic!

Certainly a far cry from the rhetoric of months ago:

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!
