Echoing many of their colleagues on MSNBC, the panel on Deadline: White House Monday had hysterical analysis of President Trump's impromptu meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. The Washington Post's Phil Rucker described the President's meeting with Kim as "a big win speaking in terms of propaganda for the North Koreans." Foreign Affairs Journalist Elise Labott argued that "Kim Jong-un has played President Trump beautifully. He knows exactly how to get what he wants from the President...all Kim Jong-un has to do is show up and say nice things." Host Nicolle Wallace agreed with Labott's description of the meeting between Trump and Kim as a "diplomatic booty call" that "really doesn't take the relationship forward."
