ever thought we would get to that point. But I want to show you a picture that I tweeted right before it was announced that good things are happening there. And I don't know how well you'll be able to see this but here's a picture of Pompeo. Oh darn it, you can only go the wrong way. So apparently I've managed to get my phone in a mode where it can only go the wrong way. Here we go.

So see, look at the smiles on these two guys. I think you can see it. Look at the way they're looking at each other. Now ask yourself this: is this the way you look at each other when you haven't made decisions on the big stuff? Would Pompeo have that expression if he was still negotiating hard on the important stuff? Maybe, you know, maybe this is when you're reading body language and smiles and stuff like that. This is not hard science in the sense that we can just look at them and we're smart so we know what they're thinking. Well I'll tell you, when I saw that I said to myself it looks like the deal is done. And I don't mean the details. The details could take another three years to work out. But the main thing, which is denuclearization, and can we have inspectors to watch it happen? It looks to me, those two expressions, I'll tell you what I thought when I saw those expressions. I said to myself this is, here are two people who can't wait to tell you a secret. They have really good news and they can't wait to tell you but they can't tell you yet because you have to work through the system. Probably there'll be something announced of major import when Kim comes to the United States. What could be a better time to announce something than Kim coming to the United States, standing in the White House in the Oval Office and making a deal?

Now I believe that the thing that's going to break the logjam is an agreement to end the, or is it a war? I forget the technical word for it. But so there's this standing state of, at least in a legal sense, there's a standing state of war in the Korean Peninsula. And North Korea has asked that we change that. I'm not sure if that's the UN or that's the United States Congress but either one is doable. And I thought to myself that is exactly the right thing for Kim to ask for because he should at least make it a little bit difficult for a president to try to attack North Korea. And one way to do that is for the countries involved to change their own laws to get out of a state of war. Because if you're in a state of war the president has all kinds of flexibility. And if you're not in a state of war the president's going to have to work pretty hard to get you into a state of war. So it makes complete sense that North Korea is asking for a declaration of an end of hostilities. And a completely reasonable thing to ask at this point. And it's completely reasonable that we held off on that until we had some commitment to get the nuclear denuclearization.

All right, how is Kim going to un-brainwash his people? Quite a project. He's already started. So apparently the propaganda in the North has shifted from we need these nukes to be a great country to we used our nukes to end the war. So Kim has the best, he just has a perfect setup for transitioning this from the worst-case scenario to the best-case scenario. You've never seen a better setup. Because he can say I built these nukes and that's why the United States came to the table. I became a peer with China. I became a peer with the United States. I became a peer with South Kor
