Donald J. Trump wrote:“I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?” written on the back of Melania’s jacket, refers to the Fake News Media. Melania has learned how dishonest they are, and she truly no longer cares!

OTOH, Melania's husband tweeted:

So everyone can believe whatever they want.

This is the wife of the man responsible for possibly bringing home the remains of your father.

I think he'd (your father) would be disappointed in you.

That's a low blow. But you missed. My father's ancestors came to America as refugees.

This from the same crowd that raked Obama over the coals for the audacity of wearing a tan suit to a public appearance.

You have no way of knowing this. You pulled it out of your ass.

And neither you nor BiT know that it was Trump's doing. Certainly there were no public statements by anyone from the White House before the summit about this being one of the goals. And my statement was based on what a number of foreign policy experts have said about the North Korean tactics in negoations like this.

I don't pull things out of my ass. I leave that to the right wingers.

I'm sure he appreciates your sentiments.

Trump inaugurated on day 23,369. 507 days later Trump meets with NK leader. Shortly thereafter NK begins returning remains.

I'll let logical thought determine if Trump had something to do with NK's actions.

Wall Street Journal wrote:That the North Korean government could turn over as many as 250 sets of remains so quickly after the agreement last week suggests that Pyongyang might have set aside these remains for use as a bargaining chip in a moment such as this. Hundreds of American remains were already in a Pyongyang warehouse by the late 1980s, said Mark Sauter, a private investigator based in Washington who has spent years researching the fates of Americans missing in the Korean War.

Complicating matters is the possibility that Pyongyang could demand payment for recovery services, as it did in the past, including the most-recent return of U.S. remains, according to Moon Seong-mook, a retired South Korean Army brigadier-general who negotiated with North Korea on the recovery of Korean War dead and other military matters between 2002 and 2007. After the collapse of denuclearization talks last decade, Pyongyang ended its efforts at recovering U.S. war remains.

Some U.S. experts question the integrity of North Korea’s recovery efforts. The Pyongyang regime has been accused of planting bodies of U.S. war dead that it has held for years in storage at recovery sites. A 2005 report by the Congressional Research Service also raises questions about whether North Korea may have secretly detained U.S. prisoners after the Korean War ended, rather than returning them to the U.S. Small numbers of U.S. POWs in North Korea may have been transferred to the Soviet Union, the report notes, citing “compelling circumstantial evidence.” Russia denied it held any U.S. POWs. Mr. Moon, the retired brigadier-general, says the North might use the return of the remains to deflect attention from its human-rights abuses. “Pyongyang has propagandized these efforts to boast about their self-claimed humanitarianism,” he said.
