Go back and read the headlines over the last couple weeks.
NK stopped responding to Trump several days ago. Trump and the administration have been in the dark for days. They don't know what is up with Un and NK. Our guess is as good as theirs. All the reports of the last week or more indicate that the White House lost communication with NK and hasn't been sure what is going to happen.
This is not Trump pulling the plug on the meeting. This is Un leaving Trump out in the rain, guessing what the heck is going on. Looking like the idiot he is.
First the admin made a statement, "we are still operating under the assumption that there will be a meeting." Then just days ago Trump said, "maybe there will be a meeting. maybe there won't be a meeting. If there isn't a meeting, it will be very interesting."
In other words, you have no idea, and they aren't answering your calls! Well guess what, Kim stood you up, you fool! He's not coming! And he's not going to call and tell you he's not coming. That is "very interesting," isn't it? You got shafted, Mr. Nobel Wannabe!
Someone in the admin saw the writing on the wall (most surely not Trump because that would require the use of a brain), and decided to spin the story and claim that he decided to cancel the meeting. Pure BS.
Trump was played the fool, yet again, and his attempt to make it look like he "cancelled the meeting" was a last ditch effort to save his pathetic orange face.

(17,413 posts)In any case, it seems to me to lean to being a show of seriousness on their part, even though the site had partially collapsed previously.

You just cannot hide these things.
garybeck
(9,939 posts)it was collapsing.
the fact that it had to be destroyed was most likely the impetus to play games with Donald.
Un won that round....
Trump thought he was about to get a Nobel Prize. Now he looks like a fool trying to make it look like he was in the driver seat but in fact he was second guessing every one of Un's moves and he still has no idea what is next.
the icing on the cake is the morans who were trying to nominate him for a nobel prize. now they look like fools too.

(11,884 posts)Kim could see what they were trying to do , and their rhetoric, so he did the smart thing and declined, and for all we know he officially let them know and they're lying , again, about what has happened. You know its getting really, really bad when you trust a dictator like Kim over a trump.
garybeck
(9,939 posts)Kim is smarter than Trump and he played Trump from the very beginning. Probably never intended to have a meeting.
duforsure
(11,884 posts)And he did it to give himself time, and make sure both Russia and China were on his side. He'll produce his missiles now no matter what trump wants to do to him, because Russia and China won't let the orange shxxhole do anything to him. Massive failure, probably the greatest foreign policy failure of all time. People laughing at him around the world now too. Got played by a little country leader who has made him look like a fool in front of the world. Not that he needed much help doing that. Everyone saying what a fool he's been shown to be by Kim. Most saw this coming.

(10,279 posts)Trump will not figure out what happened. But, if he wants to get the NKs to the table, he needs to shut two yappers' mouths: his own and Bolton's. The two of them are stumble bums.

olegramps
(8,200 posts)I think he knows the words but lacks basic comprehension skills. He reads his speeches like a robot. I can't stand his monotone moaning. This reminds me of my history prof who said the scariest thing is that anybody could actually become president.

Would someone please mail Bolton some new toy soldiers and guns to play with.
