President Donald Trump on Wednesday resorted to his usual waffling when asked whether the summit with North Korea was still set, despite threats from leader Kim Jong-Un to pull out.

“We will have to see,” he said, amid shouted questions from reporters during a photo opportunity with the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the Oval Office. “We haven’t seen anything, we haven’t heard anything. We will see what happens. … Time will tell.”

Earlier this week, Kim threatened to abandon the denuclearization talks if the U.S. continues to push North Korea “into a corner” with unilateral denuclearization demands.

  3. Well, stable genius, if we wanted to hear from somebody who has no damn idea what’s going to happen, we could listen to any one of 10,000 vapid TV newsies doing a standup in front of a fire scene or a pollution site or a schoolyard winding up with “Will this happen, or will that happen? Only time will tell. This is ____ ____ of XXXX News.” But of course that’s really all you are, isn’t it? Just a dude who runs his mouth on TV on and on and never says a damn thing. Clown.

    “… Or not. You tell me. Stay tuned. I think you will be surprised in about a week. Could be good, could be bad, I don’t know. That’s up to Kim. But it will be good I think, right Mike? Or not.”
