1. Success has many fathers but failure is an orphan
Avi israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (06.12.18)
I was hoping Shapiro would come out and admit "What worried me is that Obama so eager to declare a political victory with the Iran deal, that he ignored the facts and details."
Shapiro is still loyal to the people behind the most hostile anti-Israel administration since 1948. On his way out the door, Obama's administration let an anti-settlement resolution pass at UN Security Council - unprecedented in US-Israel relations. Israel's government begged Obama (and Shapiro) not to go through with the P5+1 deal with Iran. Hillary's 'Tough-Love' policies with Israel were the first signs but it got much worse from there. Each success of the Trump administration proves what a dismal failure the Obama administration truly was for America and Israel. The stats are driving the Left insane - lowest unemployment in decades, lower taxes, lower war casualties, lower illegal immigration a strong economy, moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem...the list goes on. The closest Obama ever got to a deal with N. Korea was sending Dennis Rodman over to watch the NBA playoff's with the dictator himself. When America student Otto Warmbier was sentenced to 15 years hard labor in N.Korea, the Obama administration did nothing to secure his release. As Michael Oren pointed out, "The Obama Administration saw Israel as the problem, the Trump Administration sees Israel as the solution".
2. Let's wait & see how fast this "fast denuclearization" takes
(06.12.18)
It could be really fast...like next week. or
It could turn out to be "sit down because standing up you are going to get tired of waiting" fast. Meaning slower than molasses!
...and about that vague statement: will North Korea pull a "fast one" and say: "USA you first...demilitarize the region and take your nuke subs with you!"
In other words...it's either a miracle happening or Trump just produced the most fake news EVER!
3. TV audience and number of tweets?

TV audience and number of tweets?

Maybe K of likes ?
4. Obama's envoy and Iran deal man commenting this?
Camilo   (06.12.18)
I'd rather read an analysis by somebody less emotionally charged against Trump.
5. Kim achieved a lot, Trump heard something but nothing real.
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.14.18)
In time something positive for the world and US might come out. Let us hope, but I don't hold my breath.
