We will never know what Trump gave Kim to get those prisoners released.

[Alethia Merritt]

Tonight it appears that Kim was satisfied what with whatever it was. He brilliantly rolled Trump and got rid of the US prisoners and the headache they posed for improving relations with SK. I don't believe for one minute that we got those prisoners back for no cost.

Also, Kim had to be pissed to learn that China had given 500M to that Indonesia Trump project kind of behind Kim's back. China has imposed certain sanctions on NK at the behest of the US. To learn that China had contributed 500 M to a Trump project while imposing US-backed sanctions on his nation just had to be slap to Kim. Russia and Iran will now swoop in where angels fear to tread.

3. I'm not too sure about that.

We won't hear about it from this misadministration. I think we'll hear about it later from the S Koreans.

5. So true! You don't go from world nuclear annihilation

to "Let's all get along" so quickly without a reason.

Herein lies the problem with a lying, vindictive, money grubbing briber as president....we can not just naturally believe them because they are honorable. Not Bush. Never Trump.
