There was a picture on my TV, and I guess it was around 9:30 or 10 o\u2019clock, somewhere in that neighborhood. President Trump and Little Rocket Man were exiting whatever room they had spent some time in, and they were on the move. They were headed to their working lunch room.<\/p>\n<p>And I notice that as they\u2019re walking along, Trump is kind of shepherding Little Rocket Man. Trump made sure he was right next to him, side by side. But Little Rocket Man seemed a bit diminutive to me. And I think I\u2019ve got this guy pretty much sized up, which I\u2019ll get to in a moment. I don\u2019t want to get ahead of myself here.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-276183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-004.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-004.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-004-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They finally get to the room where they\u2019re gonna have the working lunch, and there are not too many people in that room. It\u2019s a rectangular table, and from our vantage point on the right side table was Trump and Mike Pompeo, secretary of state, and they had a couple of translators and maybe an additional person. So six people per side.<\/p>\n<p>And then on the Nork side you had Little Rocket Man and his group. And I\u2019m looking at this picture, and I\u2019m just imagining &#8212; remember the story we had yesterday of all these 400-some-odd think tank, foreign policy intellectuals who are upset that Trump is blackballing them from his administration because they had ridiculed him, criticized him all during the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>All during the primaries, written and signed letters claiming Trump was a disaster. And now they expect Trump to just forget that. Presidents are supposed to forget what\u2019s said about them during campaigns and be bigger than all that. And these guys are upset and their feelings are hurt because they haven\u2019t been hired.<\/p>\n<p>And now they claim that Trump is not acting presidential because he\u2019s actually blackballing them. But it wouldn\u2019t just be them. It would be the entire Obama foreign policy operation and the media. Watching that picture, I think their head exploded, I think they were blowing up. I think that they were coming more and more unhinged. They\u2019re looking at that picture, and they, A, can\u2019t believe this is happening.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t believe that anybody thought this was gonna happen. I think the media &#8212; and, by the way, folks, excuse me for harping so much on the media. When I use &#8220;media&#8221; now, I\u2019m being inclusive of the entire opposition to Trump. As you know, I think they lead it. I don\u2019t think the Democrat Party leads the opposition. I think the media does. The media gives the marching orders, not take them. And I\u2019ve been of this opinion since Trump was in the campaign.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xzcaHa80i2Q\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I think they were all caught completely flat-footed with the success of this meeting. I watched \u2019em all day yesterday. I watched \u2019em last night. And to a network &#8212; we\u2019ll exclude Fox &#8212; to a network, expert after expert condemning it, ridiculing it, no chance, no way, Trump doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing, we\u2019re on the verge of a potential disaster, all of it.<\/p>\n<p>And the remarkable thing was that I don\u2019t care how many of these people on the left and all the networks spoke, they sounded identical, whether they were journalists, whether they were think tank people, former Obama administration, they had one line, two lines, and it was identical: Trump incompetent, Trump\u2019s gonna get snookered, Trump is dangerous, Trump doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing, this could be the worst disaster in American history. Those were the themes, and they were all over the media all day yesterday and all of last night.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I happen to know, and so do you, because I\u2019ve told you, I happen to know that a deal like this or a summit like this &#8212; you know, Mike Pompeo\u2019s been working on this for months. All kinds of behind-the-scenes work that nobody saw has been going on for months. It was known yesterday, it was known last week that this was gonna happen unless Kim Jong-un did something to blow it up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-276187\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-008.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-008.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-008-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>But this meeting wasn\u2019t gonna happen if this agreement wasn\u2019t gonna be signed. And that\u2019s just standard, day-to-day tradecraft. Any administration practices that policy. Just like you don\u2019t grant a witness immunity without knowing what he\u2019s gonna say, you don\u2019t show up at one of these things without knowing the outcome. And I\u2019m here to tell you that if this deal was not gonna be signed last night, that Trump would not have shown up. And his people would have advised him not to show up, even though he would not have needed the advice.<\/p>\n<p>Well, guess who else knows this? The media. They know this! Anybody in Washington knows this is how these kinds of things work. And yet there they were all day yesterday, all night last night, &#8220;It\u2019s not gonna work. Trump\u2019s gonna blow it up. Trump\u2019s out of his league.&#8221; Trump\u2019s out of his league to a sheltered, pot-bellied little dictator? Trump is out of his league to Kim Jong-un? They insult our intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>I think &#8212; and this is shocking to me &#8212; but I think they were totally caught off guard. I think they\u2019re sitting there yesterday &#8212; well, what was really going on was they were hoping it was gonna blow up. They wanted it to blow up. They wanted Kim Jong-un to humiliate and embarrass Trump. So when that didn\u2019t happen, I think that they were caught completely flat-footed with the success of this meeting, and especially the signing of the declaration which reiterated the Norks\u2019 pledge to get rid of nukes.<\/p>\n<p>The experts did not expect any of this. And one reason why is Obama couldn\u2019t pull it off, and if Obama couldn\u2019t do it, why, then, nobody could. And don\u2019t laugh. That is how they think. I was reading, there\u2019s a piece today in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2018\/06\/a-senior-white-house-official-defines-the-trump-doctrine-were-america-bitch\/562511\/\">The Atlantic by a guy named Jeffrey Goldberg<\/a>. And it\u2019s the most amazing thing &#8212; and there are many like it today &#8212; analyzing how this is a disaster, but it might not be and if it is not a disaster, we\u2019re cooked.<\/p>\n<p>One of the mentions in this piece as to why Trump is not taken seriously in foreign policy is that &#8212; are you ready for this? &#8212; he has not sat down with Thomas Friedman at the New York Times and done an extensive foreign policy interview. And because of that, Trump is out of his league. I read this, and I believe they think it. Thomas &#8220;Loopy&#8221; Friedman apparently is the definition in official Washington of whether somebody has legitimate foreign policy credentials or not.<\/p>\n<p>How screwed up is that? And apparently the Washington establishment subscribes to it. It\u2019s mind-boggling. It\u2019s another illustration of the great and wide disconnect that exists between the political class, the elected class in Washington, and the rest of us.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-276188 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-009.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-009.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-009-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So they\u2019re caught short, totally shocked, totally surprised. So now they have to find a way to condemn it. They have to find a way to blow it up, because they were caught flat-footed. They never thought this was gonna happen. And don\u2019t laugh when I say &#8220;because Obama couldn\u2019t get it done.&#8221; If he couldn\u2019t, then nobody could. The fact that Trump did makes Obama look bad, other previous presidents look bad. That can\u2019t stand, either.<\/p>\n<p>So I was watching early this morning, and I predicted this. Not that that matters. But they need a narrative today that they can consistently use all day to describe Trump as a failure and as having gotten snookered by Little Rocket Man. That narrative is that Trump has announced the end of war games. Trump has suspended military exercises with the South Koreans in the neighborhood of North Korea, the South China Sea. Of course, the ChiComs.<\/p>\n<p>They have glommed onto that as their narrative, and they\u2019re portraying it as actually a win for the ChiComs, that the ChiComs have succeeded, North Korea, ChiComs working with North Korea. Trump was bamboozled. Trump was totally snookered. Kim gave up nothing, and Trump has suspended war games.<\/p>\n<p>When was the last time the American left cared about the military? They have traditionally opposed war games on the basis that they\u2019re games, on the basis that they\u2019re wasteful, on the basis that it\u2019s unnecessarily militaristic. Well, Trump has canceled them, so he said to Stephanopoulos \u2019cause it\u2019s too expensive. They don\u2019t accomplish anything. They know how powerful we are. We don\u2019t need to have war games for the Chinese to know how powerful we are, the North Koreans. He\u2019s exactly right about it.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s been the ongoing narrative of the day, that encapsulates everything the opposition and media want to convey about Trump being snookered, Trump being bested, Trump screwing up. And yet the reality on the ground is we have never been here before. Nobody has ever pulled this off.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Susan Rice &#8212; get this &#8212; Susan Rice, whose son we adore, by the.<a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2018\/05\/29\/susan-rices-son-is-a-dittohead\/\"> We must remind everybody we adore Susan Rice\u2019s son. He\u2019s at Stanford<\/a>. Susan Rice this morning said (paraphrasing), &#8220;Well, all this means is that Kim Jong-un wasn\u2019t in the mood to change when Obama was president. Obama clearly could have done this and more if Kim Jong-un had been ready.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MRC TV video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrctv.org\/embed\/530488\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So, you see, it doesn\u2019t matter who the president is. All credit is due to little Kim, Little Rocket Man. Trump is simply a bystanding beneficiary of Little Rocket Man deciding he wants condos and high-rises on his beaches. Well, if that\u2019s the case, he finally chose somebody who knows how to build some. Obama couldn\u2019t build any high-rises and didn\u2019t want to. That\u2019s hilarious, by the way, that as an aside.<\/p>\n<p>So any excuse to exempt Obama from the ranks of the unachieved and incompetent, any length whatsoever to denigrate the achievement of Donald Trump. But it cannot be denied, this achievement simply cannot be denied. We have never been here before. And with the North Koreans we have never been presented with this opportunity before. The idea that Donald Trump is going to be the one who gets snookered, they\u2019re gonna continue to run with that, but it\u2019s asinine.<\/p>\n<p>Trump will not be snookered. Trump holds the cards. We all do, the rest of the world does, as long as sanctions remain on Little Rocket Man; and they do. Did you see that Trump showed Little Rocket Man his limo, The Beast? Little Rocket Man wanted to see The Beast. Little Rocket Man has his own car. It\u2019s a Mercedes S600 that has been outfitted with security measures that cost up to $2 million. There\u2019s also in that Mercedes S600 a portable toilet.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently Little Rocket Man takes a portable toilet with him. The toilet is not built into the car; do not misunderstand. It\u2019s probably in the trunk, and when Little Rocket Man has to do his business he uses it because he doesn\u2019t want the stools of the Dear Leader examined by hostile forces. He took the portable toilet to the five-star hotel suite in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, he wanted to see The Beast. So Trump tells the Secret Service guy to open the door, and Little Rocket Man peers in. It\u2019s got the American flag all over it, and it was classic. I think another thing that the media is going to downplay, they\u2019re not even gonna realize it\u2019s a factor. Kim Jong-un is a different age than his father, grandfather, obviously.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vl1VTm5vtnY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And you know my theory about every once in a while generations come along that just refuse to accept the ways of life of their parents and grandparents. And I think Little Rocket Man &#8212; I don\u2019t think he likes leading a squalid, poverty-stricken country. I think he wants a better life for himself. I think he\u2019s tempted by these things, where his father and grandfather never were. Trump knows this and is using it.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, that video, they prepared a video that they showed Little Rocket Man on an iPad, what his country could be with international investment. Folks, this was classic. Wait \u2019til the media figures this out. I\u2019m amazed they haven\u2019t gotten onto this yet. Trump is showing Little Rocket Man (paraphrasing), &#8220;See that beach? When you launched your missiles at us, I didn\u2019t see the missile. You know what I saw? I saw your glorious beach, and I looked at that beach, you got a beach every bit as good as Palm Beach. Let me show what you could do with that beach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here comes the video with condos, high-rises, speedboats. Little Rocket Man is looking at this thing, dazzled at it. Now, wait \u2019til the media figures out that Trump wants to do a deal to build Trump International high-rise in North Korea, whatever they\u2019re going to say.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Nobody knows where this is going. All we know is we\u2019ve never been here before. We\u2019ve been told that we\u2019ve been here before, but we haven\u2019t. We\u2019ve had previous agreements. Obama and Clinton made agreements, but those agreements all involved giving North Korea money, like Obama gave Iran money. We haven\u2019t given \u2019em anything. And Trump himself is saying, there\u2019s a long way to go here. We don\u2019t know where it\u2019s gonna go. And if it doesn\u2019t work out, it doesn\u2019t work out. But we\u2019ve taken the first step here.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-276186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-007.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-007-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, in light of that, do we all agree here that it would be in the best interests of the world for North Korea to not be a nuclear nation? Okay, fine. I mean, a lot of Americans probably couldn\u2019t care less about North Korea and don\u2019t think that their missiles could ever hit us. It\u2019s never gonna be a reality. But other people have to.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is this. If we can all agree that North Korea becoming a civilized nation and one of the practicing economic nations of the world and eliminating its nuclear capabilities is a good thing, then why, why is the opposition to Trump doing everything it can to be nothing but as negative as they can be? Of course, the question answers itself. I\u2019m asking the question specifically to illustrate exactly what we are up against. These are the people that hope to be running the country down the road, and it is frightening if that ever happens again.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It wasn\u2019t that long ago, ladies and gentlemen, the Democrats and the Drive-By Media were saying that Donald Trump was too fiery, that Donald Trump was too bullish, he was too bearish, he was too like bull in a china shop, he was too unpredictable, he was too uncouth, too stupid. Donald Trump was pushing us into war with all of his ill-advised, undiplomatic comments about our enemies around the world. He was provoking them. He was going to cause a war.<\/p>\n<p>Now today they\u2019re saying Donald Trump is too weak. Because he canceled, temporarily, the war games, the military exercises near South Korea. So they say Kim Jong-un has won, the ChiComs have won, Trump has gone wobbly, Trump has gone weak. Six months ago they\u2019re worried Trump was too strong. What is happening &#8212; and it\u2019s happening in front of every American\u2019s face &#8212; is that President Trump is making many former political leaders look unaccomplished. He is making them look ineffective.<\/p>\n<p>He is causing many people to look back on previous leaders, presidents, members of the Washington elite, and he\u2019s causing people to question just how good they really have been, just how accomplished they are, just how smart they really are. Donald Trump is making all of the experts and the pundits look bad. He\u2019s making them all revel. He\u2019s making them all traffic every day in inaccuracy. They are wrong and wrong and wrong.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-276185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-006.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-006-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>I had to laugh. CNN, MSNBC, a number of the newspapers have gone out and done stories or had panel discussions featuring expert negotiators tell us what Trump has been doing with Little Rocket Man. Expert negotiators. Well, who? What have these expert negotiators negotiated? What makes them experts? What makes them experts is that they\u2019re in the club, they\u2019re in the establishment club. They\u2019re experts; they\u2019ve been hired by a think tank, they\u2019re experts. They advise members of Congress on negotiation. They\u2019re experts. What have they negotiated?<\/p>\n<p>Who were the brilliant wizards that negotiated the Iran deal? What makes them experts? Nothing! They were fools! I\u2019m not saying that Donald Trump isn\u2019t above criticism. But there isn\u2019t a single former Obama official who has the background to criticize anything Trump is doing. There\u2019s not a single one of them who is anywhere near as achieved or accomplished as Donald Trump just in plain old general life.<\/p>\n<p>These are people from academia. These are people from the faculty lounge. These are people from think tanks. They haven\u2019t built anything. They haven\u2019t conjured anything. They criticize everything. They analyze everything. They exercise their minds while sitting in the faculty lounge sitting on their asses. They don\u2019t do anything. And yet we\u2019re told when they\u2019re on TV that they are the expert negotiators or that they are the expert economists, they are the expert political analysts.<\/p>\n<p>And not a single one of them has gotten very much right in the last two years. They have been humiliated and embarrassed in their area of expertise almost every day, certainly weekly, ever since Trump became the Republican nominee. Their expertise lies in sending Obama down to Havana and holding hoisted hands with Raul Castro. That was the result of an expert negotiation.<\/p>\n<p>Another expert negotiation resulted in pallets of American cash having been illegally converted from euros by foreign banks being flown to Tehran for delivery to the mullahs in exchange for American hostages. Expert negotiators in the Obama State Department made that deal happen. Those are the people presented to us by our media as experts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-276190\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-011.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-011.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-061218-Trump-Kim-Jong-Un-SUMMIT-011-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>And they have the audacity to sit there on TV and to say of Donald Trump that he doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing, that he represents a clear and present danger because of his inexperience and his just unseemly personality. The guy is an ogre, he\u2019s gauche, he embarrasses us, and he doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing. And these people who haven\u2019t accomplished a damn thing outside of academia, these people the farthest you can be from the backbone of America, dare to sit there. And it\u2019s not just Trump. It\u2019s you and me who don\u2019t know what we\u2019re doing. It\u2019s you and me who are representative some kind of political extremism or radicalism.<\/p>\n<p>The expertise, the expert negotiator in this whole thing is Donald Trump! Donald Trump is the expert negotiator, and the evidence is clear. It\u2019s evident. They were surprised. They were shocked. They didn\u2019t see this happening, even though in their own minds they should have known it was gonna happen because these events don\u2019t happen if there isn\u2019t going to be an agreement. The event is canceled rather than have a humiliation or an embarrassment by the failure to get a signed document, whatever it is, out of whatever deal, whatever negotiation is taking place.<\/p>\n<p>They should have known something was gonna be signed. And yet they continue to be flat-footed, shocked, and surprised, and they tell us they are the experts. They may be experts at spying on us. They may be the experts at infiltrating the IRS to deny you tax-exempt status. They may be experts at flat lining the U.S. economy. They may be experts at destroying the American health care industry. That may be their wheelhouse of expertise. They couldn\u2019t even negotiate a deal with Russia to &#8220;cut it out,&#8221; to stop meddling in our elections.
