00:00Trump responds to Lee Jae-myung's actions.

00:03In a fiery prelude to his White House meeting with South Korea's new leftist president, Lee Jae-myung,

00:09former President Donald Trump sparked diplomatic tension.

00:12What is going on in South Korea? Seems like a purge or revolution, Trump lamented.

00:17It was vintage Trump, blunt, disruptive, and impossible to ignore.

00:22Then, Trump dismissed his earlier concerns as misunderstandings, aiding President Lee's diplomatic success.

00:28Despite accusations of election fraud and jailing of opposition, Lee left Washington with no reprimand from Trump.

00:35Not the expected Zelensky treatment.

00:37Lee spun the trip positively, Trump refrained, and America seemed business-friendly despite Lee's controversies.

00:44So what changed?

00:45Lee's proposed $350 billion U.S. investment might explain it.

00:49Trump's lack of retaliation let Lee pursue authoritarian measures.

00:53Lee advocated for South Korea to reject reliance on foreign troops, implying U.S. forces should exit.

01:01Despite previously calling them an occupation force, Lee stayed silent when protesters defaced Trump's image,

01:06but his administration suppressed anti-China voices.

01:10To top it off, he's now backpedaling on that $350 billion investment in the U.S., saying it would wreck the economy.

01:17Speculation swirls over why Trump backed off.

01:21Embassy pressure, cautious State Department, or influential lobbyists.

01:25The MAGA base views it as a missed opportunity.

01:28Some believe Lee is just one man, and the U.S.-South Korea alliance remains strong.

01:33Yet, Venezuela was similarly trusted before radicals seized control, sparking deja vu.

01:39President Trump's instincts were right.

01:41South Korea's democracy is being hollowed out.

01:43Instincts require action.

01:45Lee Jae Myung gained cover.

01:47Will others follow this playbook?
