Trump declares 'there is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea'
President Trump landed in Washington Wednesday morning after meeting with North Korea's Kim Jong Un in Singapore, and "he tweeted three times during the uneventful motorcade back home" to the White House, Reuters' Roberta Rampton wrote in the White House press pool report. The first tweet congratulated controversial Republican Corey Stewart on his GOP primary win and called Stewart's next opponent, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), "a total stiff." In the other two tweets, Trump took a victory lap, declaring that "there is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea" and assuring America to "sleep well tonight."
