Two weeks removed from the historic summit in Singapore during which President Donald Trump met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, a group called Virginia Women for Trump decided it wanted to honor at Trumps Washington DC hotel what it deemed a foreign policy breakthrough on the presidents part.
How best to do that? Virginia Women for Trump apparently decided to celebrate the summit and Trumps recent birthday with a rendition of the North Korean national anthem.
According to The New York Times, several hundred women gathered at the hotel for the celebration led by Alice Butler-Short, the groups president. Times reporter Elizabeth Williamson described the scene thusly:
Ms. Butler-Short took the stage, her substantial, bejeweled gold lamé millinery bobbing. That signified our great president and the negotiations he is having with North Korea, she said. The music, she explained, was the North Korean national anthem.
