Breaking in the new press secretary

After shaking hands with Kim in the demilitarised zone (DMZ) between the two Koreas and walking with him over the border, Trump said: “Stepping across that line is a great honour. Great progress has been made, great friendships have been made and this has been, in particular, a great friendship.”

Earlier, in the South Korean capital, Seoul, Trump said he was “looking forward to [the meeting] very much … He understands me and I think I maybe understand him.”

Yes, we know: you fell in love.

Trump later said he agreed with Kim to restart talks after nuclear negotiations stalled earlier this year and had invited him to the US “when the time is right”.

After Trump establishes his dictatorship.

He said sanctions would remain in place, but suggested Washington might be willing to offer concessions in return for piecemeal North Korean moves towards denuclearisation – an approach it had previously rejected. “At some point during the negotiation things can happen,” he said.

They certainly can. Just like last time when the Koreans walked out.

[South Korea's leader] Moon later told a joint press conference he was “overwhelmed” with emotion about the meeting at the border village of Panmunjom. He described Trump and Kim as “so brave”, adding: “I hope President Trump will go down in history as the president who achieves peace on the Korean peninsula.”

What's he getting paid? And is he going to be the one to submit Trump's name to the Nobel Prize committee?

Trump is the first sitting US president to step across the border, and the gesture represents a public relations coup for Kim, who has held summits with Trump, the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, and the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, in the past year.

The despot's club officials.

Trump claimed before he crossed the border that both North and South Korea had benefited from his attempts to engage Kim since he became president.

“North Korea and South Korea are both in much better places than they were two and a half years ago,” he said. “It’s day and night.”The main source of tension appeared to be between US reporters and North Korean security guards.

The jostling seen outside when Kim and Trump met worsened when North Korean guards tried to physically prevent reporters with the US press pool from entering a room inside the Freedom House on the southern side of the DMZ where the two leaders were about to start their meeting. Reports said the Secret Service had to intervene.

Those roughed up in the scuffle included the new White House press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, who ended up with bruises.

Bloomberg's Jennifer Jacobs shared a picture of Grisham's scuffle with North Korean security, adding that the scuffle resulted in "body blows."

CNN's Allie Malloy added that Grisham was seen on camera shouting "Go! Go!" as she opened a path for U.S. reporters to cover the meeting.

Was she trying to get them shot?

She shoved aside what apepars to be a Korean man in a suit. Then you can't see her, but you can hear her say breathlessly, "Let go of me....Need help here."  Anyway, it wouldn't have happened to Sarah Sanders.  That she-bull would have knocked him out.
