President Donald Trump is in Singapore to make peace with North Korea after failing to make peace with Canada. In another series of events that could only happen in this era, Trump deep-sixed the G-7 by inviting Russia back in to be number eight. And that was just for openers. Trump left early and then refused to sign the allies' joint statement in an angry tweetstorm that seemed to turn Justin Trudeau into a sparring partner ahead of Trump's main event with Kim Jong Un. Other than that, the weekend was pretty chill. David Frum on how the G-7 turned allied democracies into something worse than frenemies. "Like some nightmare family Thanksgiving from which the most difficult relative departs first, everybody breathed easier when the president at last left. Perhaps after all, it was sort of a success? Then, something happened."

+ NYT: "If a president of the United States were to sketch out a secret, detailed plan to break up the Atlantic alliance, that plan would bear a striking resemblance to Trump's behavior."

+ CNBC's John Harwood: "Vladimir Putin tried to help Donald Trump win the presidency. As president, Trump is helping Putin achieve a top strategic goal. And the question is: Why?"

+ How newspapers around the world reacted to the unusual G-7.

The New Yorker: "Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un—the leaders of two countries that have technically been at war for the past seventy years—will make history, on Tuesday, just by shaking hands."

"Every word matters, and a slip-up can have monumental consequences." For the first hour or so, the only people in the room will be Trump and Kim ... and their interpreters.

+ Trump tweeted that, "Excitement is in the air." Kim Jong Un took a nighttime tour. And Dennis Rodman, wearing a t-shirt promoting a cannabis cryptocurrency, landed in Singapore. "I'm just happy to be a part of it because I think I deserve it, I think I brought awareness on a lot of things around the world, and I think North Korea has given a lot of people the opportunity to do this conference now." Here's the latest on the summit from CNN, NYT, and The Independent.

"TV has gone through major transformations in the past ... but this leap dwarfs all others. Netflix doesn't want to be a streaming, supersized clone of HBO or FX or NBC. It's trying to change the way we watch television. Whether it can do that while turning a profit is another matter, given the more than $6 billion in debt it's amassed during its expansion. But Wall Street seems optimistic: In recent weeks, its overall market capitalization has at times grown past $150 billion, surpassing Disney to become the most-valued media company in the world." Hollywood is being powered by Netflix's massive and growing debt. It's a good time to be a content creator. It's an overwhelming time to be a content consumer.

"The day Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided the Southeastern Provision plant outside the city and sent dozens of workers to out-of-state detention centers was the day people in Morristown began to ask questions many hadn't thought through before — to the federal government, to the police, to their church leaders, to each other."

"Like many Alaska communities far removed from the road system, Selawik does not have a traditional police department.

"Armed with rolls of clear Scotch tape, Lartey and his colleagues would sift through large piles of shredded paper and put them back together, he said, 'like a jigsaw puzzle.' Sometimes the papers would just be split down the middle, but other times they would be torn into pieces so small they looked like confetti." Politico: Meet the guys who tape Trump's papers back together. "The president's unofficial 'filing system' involves tearing up documents into pieces, even when they're supposed to be preserved."
