Establishment Media Silent: Trump Gets Unexpected Surprise Courtesy Of Singapore Citizens
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Since President Donald Trump’s first day in office, the liberally biased mainstream media has perpetuated the narrative that Trump is largely despised both at home and abroad, and that in other nations he is almost universally viewed as an embarrassment to the American people.
Thus, it came as no surprise whatsoever when the U.S. media essentially ignored the reception Trump received from cheering supporters upon his arrival Sunday in Singapore ahead of a high-stakes summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
Coverage of the cheering crowds greeting Trump would directly contradict the “Trump is hated” narrative the mainstream media outlets push every day, so they simply ignore it and choose not to cover it.
According to a series of photos published by The Daily Caller, the president received a boisterous welcome from not just U.S. citizens who live in Singapore, but also from Singaporean citizens as well.
A couple photos show a pair of young American women wearing red MAGA hats and waving American flags, with one of the girls even wearing a pair of patriotic socks emblazoned with Trump’s name.
Other photos show citizens of Singapore, young and old alike, waving U.S. flags and holding signs expressing support for Trump and appreciation for his efforts at securing peace for the Korean Peninsula and broader Asian region.
Fans of the president had gathered at the airport to greet his arrival, andlined the streets of the route used to transport him via presidential motorcade to the Shangri-La Hotel, as well as the Singaporean prime minister’s residence, the Istana Palace.
According to The U.K. Independent, Trump landed in Singapore at about 8:20 p.m. local time, and proceeded directly to the hotel.
“It’s exciting, but I am also anxious,” a Trump-supporting woman, identifed only by her first name as Kim, told the Independent. “Kim (Jong Un) can change his mind at any time. Mr Trump also likes to get his own way.
“But if it works, it’s for the good of the whole world. It will make history,” she added.
That view was echoed by a 16-year-old U.S. citizen student named Christine McDougal, who lives in Singapore and cheered the president’s arrival with a friend.
“This is a such an important moment,” McDougal told the Independent, in what can only be described as an understatement.
Meanwhile, apart from the cheering crowds and pomp and circumstance of a major geopolitical summit, Christian leaders across Singapore were urging their church members and attendees to pray for God’s will to be reflected upon the high-stakes meeting, according to the Washington Examiner.
Anglican and Catholic church leaders alike asked that God provide wisdom and guidance to both Trump and Kim and prayed that they would find success as they sought to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula and bring closure to a state of war that has been technically in effect since the 1950s.
Whether you fall into the category of those wildly cheering for Trump to emerge victorious from the meeting with a fierce communist rival or are praying that God’s hand will touch both leaders and guide them during the meeting — or both — there is no doubt that all eyes are on Singapore right now.
It would be nice if the U.S. media would cover all aspects of the summit — including the warm reception given to Trump — instead of not so subtly hoping for his failure, if only to rob the president they despise of yet another “win” he can tout with voters ahead of the 2020 election.

Doesn't look like big crowds to me.
Seriously, this is CHINA!! You can go all the way back to Nixon to see them ordering their citizens out to cheer for something.
Are you paid for this???
If Obama or Hillary were there, they would have the same ordered in crowds that Trump had. The difference is that they'd be aware of that, Trump just sees people that gives him another way to stroke his ego.
Singapore is not China.
I think it is sad you actually believe what you are saying.
Singapore is one of the safest places on Earth. Crime is very low. It is a police state, a prosperous police state.
Big enough for FOX to use those photos again when the next teabag rally only attracts 6 scumbags to show up.
The great negotiator got nothing from Kim that we didn't already have. Kim signed a meaningless and unenforceable document, and has now been elevated to world leader status. Fuck trump.
Trump just gave up our exercises with South Korea at the outset, getting nothing in return except some lovin' from another little dictator. Pathetic. All for his photo ops.
The US is great at doing that. Doesn't matter who is in the WH. We can only hope that Trump didn't sell the US tax payer down the river like Obama, Bush, Clinton, and every other POTUS has to get a temporary "win".
Care to explain Trump giving up the war games with NOTHING in return?
What did you want him to get...a completed treaty? That has to be approved by Congress. Obama tried to go around Congress to get his deal that ended up giving Iran everything they wanted and the US got NOTHING in return.
HE DIDN'T GET ANYTHING! Kim, on the other hand, got everything he has wanted, and more. To pretend otherwise is ridiculous. This meeting was nothing more than photo and propaganda ops for both. Its so obvious Trump has an affinity to dictators and bullies, he was fawning all over Kim with praise, as if Kim was as stupid and predictable as Trump and his need for effusive praise (they were so ready for Trump). Negotiations aren't done from the top down, there is NO FOUNDATION, but Trump, not knowing squat, doesn't care about that anyway, he only sees the immediate gratification, substance not necessary because its only about optics and spin. Try going back to previous republican beliefs and values as related to North Korea and others and explain the flip flops. If this is how Trump negotiate, what a fricken loser.
He already did, Kim gets us to quit our war games in South Korea and, Trump is thinking of removing our troops from South Korea now, also, Trump said he would end the sanctions against North Korea, we've just lost every bargaining chip we had with NK.
What he got was amity and a stated commitment to further improve relations. When have we ever had that from North Korea?
I guess we'll see in time if this turns out like all of the Iran deals have turned out to be for decades. Neither country has shown they could be trusted. I don't expect anything positive to be reported by the MSM about it. If there is any possibility of something negative coming about, even if it has to be manufactured by the MSM, we'll hear about it.
Who gives a shit?
Point proven....
( Deleted, CoC {SP} ) What I really mean, is so what? Does that actually mean anything or effect my life in any way?
It must matter and mean a lot to you for all the anger and bitterness displayed.
Kim will play Trump like a chump, and the taxpayers will foot the bill.
It will be interesting to find out who paid for Kim's hotel bill while in Singapore. The US taxpayers, or NK or China. My money says it was the US taxpayers.
The answer to your question has been available since June 5, 2018:
The speculation that the US would pay for NoKo's expenses in Singapore began with the WaPo (what a shocker!):
E.A Hey stop that BAD trait … of … Voting yourself UP Shame on YOU!
Best stop trying to predict the future. You people suck at it.
Three years ago, you people were predicting he wouldn't really run. FAIL.
Two and a half years ago, the prediction was he'd never get nominated. FAIL.
Two years ago you people were predicting he couldn't win in November. FAIL.
Then you predicted he'd drive us into an immediate recession. Instead unemployment is down, the stock market is up, and GDP is climbing. FAIL.
A year ago, you people were predicting we'd be at war with North Korea by now. Instead, we're negotiating peace. FAIL again.
Quit while you're behind.
