‘Morning Joe’ Panel Suggests Trump Saying He’d Love to Meet Kim Jong Un Is Nobel Prize Related

EXCERPT:

LEMIRE: "But that’s the backdrop here. Now, he ended up having a seemingly pretty productive meeting with the South Korean leader. The South Koreans were very relieved afterwards. But as part of that, it came up. And his fascination with Kim Jong-un has lasted more than a decade. It was that first summer in August 2017 where he threatened the fire and fury, and then that evolved to the point where I was part of the presidential pool two years later, when he did step over the line at the DMZ and met Kim Jong-un. They had three summits over the years. No real progress made. But it seems now, as we know, President Trump is casting about to try to find a way to get a Nobel Peace Prize. It seems like perhaps this is the new venue if he can broker some sort of, perhaps, reconciliation between North and South Korea as other conflicts, like Gaza and Ukraine, continue to boil."
