A buoyant President Donald Trump greeted the three captives from North Korea Thursday at the Joint Base Andrews tarmac, saying “I think you probably broke the all-time-in-history television rating for three o’clock in the morning.”

Thrilled about the captive transfer and upcoming summit with North Korea, Trump mused aloud over how the international breakthroughs will affect his legacy. “My proudest achievement will be— this is a part of it, but it will be when we denuclearize that entire peninsula,” he said. “This is what people have been waiting for for a long time. Nobody thought we could be on this track in terms of the speed.”

Though the details have not been confirmed, the U.S.-North Korea summit will reportedly likely be held in Singapore in a few week’s time.

    Sick in the head, that’s what’s wrong. I guarantee you that the day after John McCain is buried, when Trump will be at his most tender for having been pointedly excluded by a celebrity dead man, he will note the poor ratings that the funeral got. “Boring, lousy ratings, SAD!” is what he’ll say.
