Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un Infuriate 'Bachelorette' Fans

Yes, the meeting between the leaders of the United States and North Korea was historic, but let's not lose sight of what's really important. Namely, there was a new episode of The Bachelorette on Monday night, and the series' fans weren't prepared to have it interrupted by coverage of the meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un. Read on to see some of the reactions to the situation.

When fans of The Bachelorette popped open their bottles of rosé and turned on their TVs on Monday, June 11, to watch Becca Kufrin’s journey to find love, the last thing they expected to see was President Donald Trump shaking hands with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. But that’s exactly what happened.

Trump, 71, and Un, 34, met for the first time during a historic summit at a hotel in Singapore. They signed a joint agreement and pledged to work toward the complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. The leaders’ initial interaction was broadcast on all major networks before they sat down one-on-one away from the cameras. The special report interrupted 13 minutes of The Bachelorette’s two-hour telecast, much to the chagrin of some viewers.

“Whoa, Trump and Kim are going behind closed doors? This went from a 1-on-1 date to a fantasy suite very, very quickly!” Bachelorette alum Michael Garofola quipped on Twitter.

“Unless Trump is asking Kim who he thinks is getting a rose tonight, they can kindly get off my television,” one frustrated fan tweeted. Another shared a photo from the Trump-Kim summit and joke, “This might actually be the most dramatic season of The Bachelorette.”

A third viewer tweeted, “Is Kim Jong Un in it for the right reasons? Will Trump give him the first impression rose? Don’t miss the most dramatic nuclear summit yet.”
