Trump Doing What He Set Out To Do In South Korea

RealClearPolitics   "RCP co-founder and publisher Tom Bevan joins FNC's 'Special Report' panel to discuss the president's trip to Asia: 
TOM BEVAN: [Trump's trip to Asia] is consequential, it is going well so far. There haven't been any major gaffes. He's doing a reasonably good job of doing what he set out to do on the trip, which is to build support for sanctions [against North Korea]... There is some skittishness in the region, particularly in South Korea.

It looks like that is what Trump is doing: bringing out the carrot instead of the stick. Trying to shore up and reassure South Korea, get them on board for future sanctions, and bringing the region together to do something more against North Korea.

Trump is ever the showman, trying to keep people interested and engaged in this trip -- hence the tease about big new tomorrow.
