When Trump met with the South Korean president, Trump likely wanted something and he didn’t get it. My guess, complete guess, is that his quest for a Nobel Peace Prize led him to push for top-to-top reunification talks.

SK’s reaction was not to Trump’s liking so this is his version of “nice little auto plant ya got there…shame if something happened to it” demonstration.

ICE didn’t just wander in there on a tip. They were there because of a directive that had to come from the top. No local or mid-level ICE gruppenfurher dropped an order that would initiate an international response.

IMHO.
