Wait until he finds out they're keeping this a secret

Melania is apt to get punched again.  ALLEDGEDLY!

[D]eputy chief of staff [Joe] Hagin is being counted on to pull off a high-stakes presidential trip [...] President Donald Trump's summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un -- and with its hastened timeline, it could be the highest-profile gambit of his career.

[...]

Deployed to Singapore last week to negotiate logistical details with a delegation of North Koreans, Hagin has assumed an outsized role in the preparations for the off-again, on-again meeting. His advance work in the Southeast Asian city-state could determine whether the summit happens at all. From the start, logistical concerns have assumed a major role in the meeting's planning, from determining its location to assuaging North Korean concerns about Kim's ability to travel safely from his hermit kingdom.

Hagin [...] held the last of his four meetings with his North Korean counterparts last week, a senior White House official said.

Okay, I have to stop right here. Why in the name of Zeus does anyone have to be referred to in the anonymous "senior White House official" mode to say that to a reporter? Is it not obvious that Hagin is back? Is the number of meetings he had a matter of national security? This anonymous source shit has gone way to far.

With the white-shingled Capella hotel on the upscale Sentosa Island as their base, Hagin and a team of White House officials scouted ballrooms, hotels and government buildings over the last week as possible venues for the historic summit, all while hashing out logistical sticking points with their North Korean counterparts.

The work was supposed to have taken place more than two weeks ago, but Hagin and his team were stood up by the North Korean delegation, dimming prospects the summit would take place.

The next week, Trump canceled the summit in a letter, but it wasn't scuttled for long. Almost immediately, communication resumed between Washington and Pyongyang. And Hagin was dispatched again to Singapore.

Kim is going to make a monkey out of Trump over this, isn't he? (Time to go on vacation, Melania.)

The agenda was stacked as Hagin negotiated with his North Korean counterparts. People familiar with the negotiations said the number of security guards who will be allowed in the room with Kim has been a chief worry for the North Korean leader, who has also expressed concerns of being deposed if he travels too far outside of North Korea, or remains gone for long. Other matters include how Kim will travel to Singapore on one of his country's aging Soviet-era planes, ensuring he has enough fuel to return to Pyongyang and, of course, how the summit will play for the cameras.

If we're going to pay for his hotel room, why can't we pay for his flight?

The meetings often proceeded at a painstaking pace. North Korean officials are "sensitive to being dictated to," one source close to the talks said, and the Hagin-led team has taken pains to present ideas for the summit in a collaborative way.

North Korean officials in Singapore also needed to get sign-off on almost every detail with their superiors in Pyongyang, leading to one- or two-day intervals before they could reach an agreement on even minor logistical details, the source said.

The White House, in contrast, has given Hagin wide leeway to determine the best options for holding the summit, including its location.

Here's where this report gets dicey for Melania (ALLEGEDLY!):

"[Hagin] is known for having an air of he's going to kind of save the country from the President," one White House official said, adding that Hagin has repeatedly demonstrated a disdain for the President's unconventional style and use of Twitter.

Two officials said Hagin has kept sensitive logistical details from Trump -- including during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Mar-a-Lago last year -- for fear that the President might tweet about them and upend the plans.

Of course he would!

Hagin frequently draws on one example in particular, reminding officials that during the transition, Boeing executives told the transition team that they were willing to renegotiate the cost of building a new Air Force One fleet, but asked that the President-elect and his team keep the plans under wraps. The transition officials told Trump, who soon tweeted: "Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!"

Two weeks later, the Boeing CEO said the company would get the planes built for less than planned.

"Remember Boeing," Hagin now tells colleagues.

That's a great Trump-era slogan for us all: Remember Boeing!

And, are you wondering what great deal Trump made on that?

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said she had never heard Hagin make those comments and rejected allegations that Hagin keeps sensitive information from Trump, saying, "it's just not how Joe Hagin operates."

"I've worked very closely with Joe and it's just not how his mind thinks or the way that he operates," Sanders said.

And we all know what a totally honest person Sarah Sanders is. What is it that Michelle Wolf said? Oh yeah, "She burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye."

Three current and former White House officials also said Hagin openly laments the atypical nature of Trump's presidency and its chaotic nature with another familiar refrain: "This would never happen in the Bush administration" -- a comment the sources said is often accompanied by an eye roll.

[...]

Hagin, whose middle name is Whitehouse, has served in every Republican administration since Ronald Reagan .

If this Trump-Kim summit comes off, Hagin might want to start thinking about his next employment opportunity.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
