Here's why it's a bad day to be CNN today. The first piece of news, the big news, is that President Trump has canceled the North Korean summit.

Here's what's interesting about that. The people who were on President Trump's side, his backers, have been saying for a long time, hey, gotta be tough with these North Koreans, gotta be willing to walk away from the table. We expected it might happen. In fact, we thought it would happen. And then he walked away from the table just about at the perfect time to do it.

So Trump supporters saw his walking away from the table as good news, a positive thing.

Meanwhile, Trump's detractors were sure that North Korea was pulling a fast one, that they were flattering him and that they were going to lead him on a little bit just to pull the football away, as they have all in the past so many times. And this dumb old Mr. Trump, he doesn't see it coming. Oh my God, he's dumb. He's so dumb. He just can't see what they're doing to him.

And then he canceled the summit, which is exactly what they wanted because they didn't believe it was real.

So I don't know how often this can happen, but he managed with one act, canceling the summit, to please both his biggest critics and his biggest supporters. Pretty good trick, right?

So how does CNN and the traditional critics handle the fact that he just did exactly what they thought he should do and also, for slightly different reasons but pretty related, exactly what his proponents think he should do? There's not much to complain about, right?
