Trumpie's going to be mad

Another one of his minions contradicts him:

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says he believes North Korea remains a nuclear threat and disputes the fact that President Trump thinks otherwise. “What he said was … the efforts that had been made in Singapore … have substantially taken down the risk to the American people” pic.twitter.com/keXCFb4xtd

He just ignored what Trump said and acted as though he'd said something else, which he obviously knows is a lie:

Asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper whether he believes North Korea remains a nuclear threat, Pompeo responded, “Yes.”

After last year’s summit with Kim in Singapore, Trump tweeted, “There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea. Meeting with Kim Jong Un was an interesting and very positive experience.”

But Pompeo on Sunday disputed that Trump had said as much.

That may be too confusing for trump to understand so he may get away with contracting his Deal Leader in a way the Intel chiefs could not. But he'd better be careful. Mentioning that the emperor has no clothes can get you into real trouble.
