Trump lays his cards on the table...

"I've got a pair of two's...", he says boastfully.

"A straight flush", says Kim.

The entire summit negotiations began with Trump at a disadvantage. First of all, Kim Jong Un wanted the legitimacy of being on the stage with the President of the United States. That alone is a victory for him. It solidifies his standing with his people.

But to further de-legitimize Donald Trump, Kim doesn't come to Washington to meet with Trump personally. He sends a representative. And Trump meets with him for a photo shot!

He may as well have sent his chauffeur.
