Trump Watch 20180623

Today is a Saturday, and it's a kind of slow day for Trump Watching.  I'd say that the interesting news views on the Trump Watch front was how Trump was claiming that the coverage regarding his North Korea summit bordered on "Treason," and then he later declared that:

"The existence and risk of proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material on the Korean Peninsula and the actions and policies of the Government of North Korea continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States."

That declaration was made as part of the paperwork required to keep sanctions on North Korea, and was part of a notice to Congress.

Here's a tricky part to this.  Should Trump be "given credit" for keeping the sanctions on North Korea since there really hasn't been any real movement towards denuclearization?  Or should this be viewed as more Trumpian duplicity?
