In a gushing tweet, President Donald Trump thanked North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for the “kind action” of sending back the presumed bodies of U.S. soldiers killed during the Korean War.
Thank you to Chairman Kim Jong Un for keeping your word & starting the process of sending home the remains of our great and beloved missing fallen! I am not at all surprised that you took this kind action. Also, thank you for your nice letter – l look forward to seeing you soon!

Vice President Mike Pence formally received the 55 flag-draped coffins on Wednesday in Hawaii. Now, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency will work to identify the remains, a likely onerous task that will stretch over years, as North Korea only provided a single dog tag for the dozens of bodies.
The return of the remains was part of an agreement reached by Trump and Kim at the Singapore summit in June.
I’m pretty sure Kim Jong Un thanks you as well.
Enjoy it, Dotard. This and that XXXL “Singapore 2018” T-shirt are about all you’ll get out of that trip.
Well, in the past they’ve returned remains that weren’t U.S. military. They’ve sent remains with animal bones among them. One set of dog tags, eh? You get the impression they go and dig up a mass grave when they’re in a remains-returning mood, and that they were never too fussy about burials and records. But sure, Two Scoops, this is a great victory you’ve won. Go strutting around saying OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH, because this is about as good as it’s going to get.
Wonder what NoKo ass tastes like?
Dotard is apparently a gourmet.
