Media cratoons have started to cross the line again as White House gift shop offers sale prices on historic Coins to memorialize Peace Talks with North Korea's 'Supreme Leader'.
Not too surprising considering how parts of media had mocked recent Peace Process ceremony in Jerusalem using very controversial depictions (http://www.nydailynews.com/resizer/G5Z0ybb34n9C8kxtKaK82V0pHd8=/1400x0/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-tronc.s3.amazonaws.com/public/7Y3DH4IUH3TXMR2P5OQJKPTFHQ.jpg).
The White House Gift Shop has the commemorative coins celebrating a peace summit that has yet to happen at $75 and $25, with a special "deal of the day" prices of $59 and $20.

05/22/18
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) demanded on Tuesday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's image be taken off a commemorative "trip coin" memorializing the upcoming summit between President Trump and Kim.
"I urge the White House to take Kim off the coin," Schumer tweeted. "Challenge coins are a time honored tradition and certainly appropriate in this situation, but Kim Jong Un’s face has no place on this coin. He is a brutal dictator and something like the Peace House would be much more appropriate."

North Korea threatens to cancel summit with Trump (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?522302-North-Korea-threatens-to-cancel-summit-with-Trump&)
North Korea says it may blow off Trump meeting, and 'sinister' US won't make it give up nukes
North Korea said it will reconsider a June 12 meeting with President Donald Trump if Washington insists on Pyongyang relinquishing nuclear weapons.
Earlier, the isolated state abruptly canceled talks with South Korea in protest over Washington and Seoul's joint military drills.
North Korea on Wednesday injected further uncertainty into plans for a highly anticipated summit between leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump.
In a statement carried by state news agency KCNA, North Korea's First Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Kim Kye Gwan said his country will reconsider the historic June 12 meeting if the U.S. insists on Pyongyang relinquishing its nuclear weapons.
