On Wednesday, Fox News’ Shephard Smith threw President Donald Trump‘s bold claims about North Korea a little bit of shade, declaring that America can sleep better knowing that Trump is on the nuclear ball.

“You can sleep well, America!” Smith said, failing to fully contain his smirk. “The president says there’s no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea. Of course, North Korea’s leaders have proven in the past they’re willing to go back on their words and that’s all we have without any concrete promises, are we really safer?”

Earlier today, President Donald Trump did not shy away from taking credit for his successes during the very brief meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, tweeting out shortly after his arrival back in the United States that America can feel much safer with him as POTUS.

“Just landed – a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office. There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea,” Trump tweeted. “Meeting with Kim Jong Un was an interesting and very positive experience. North Korea has great potential for the future!

The president also claimed Americans can “sleep well, tonight.”

Before taking office people were assuming that we were going to War with North Korea. President Obama said that North Korea was our biggest and most dangerous problem. No longer – sleep well tonight! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 13, 2018

The true gains of Trump’s brief meeting are yet to be seen or spelled out and no guarantees were made during the summit.
