PLEASE DON'T SAY THIS – AT 11:20 A.M. ET:  President Trump made a dramatic statement on North Korea this morning.  I wish he hadn't.  From CNBC:

North Korea no longer poses a nuclear threat, nor is it the "biggest and most dangerous problem" for the United States, President Donald Trump said on Wednesday on his return from a summit in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

The summit was the first between a sitting U.S. president and a North Korean leader and followed a flurry of North Korean nuclear and missile tests and angry exchanges between Trump and Kim last year that fuelled fears of war.

"Everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office," Trump said on Twitter.

"There is no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea. Meeting with Kim Jong Un was an interesting and very positive experience. North Korea has great potential for the future!"

COMMENT:  Oh, Mr. President, please shut up.  You did well in Singapore.  Don't ruin it by exaggerated statements and grandiose bragging. 

This, of course, is the part of Donald Trump that makes us wince.  After skillful handling of an issue, he blows it away with wild statements and claims.

To the White House staff:  There's an AC cable connected to the president's computer.  At the end of the cable is a plug.  Please snip same.
