WATCH: Trump Lied To Americans About Progress On Denuclearization
February 27, 2019
In the time since Trump’s first summit with Kim Jong Un, he has continuously lied to Americans about the progress of denuclearization, while the rogue regime continues to develop, expand, and conceal its nuclear capabilities.
In order for Trump’s second summit to be successful, Trump must not be duped again, and he has to demonstrate tangible, verifiable progress.
