I'm with everyone else. It took balls, and it was rather historic.

Trump wants something from him, so he puts on an act. What would you have him do?

Here's an ABC report,
President Trump becomes 1st president to step inside North Korea ahead of meeting with Kim Jong UnMy first guess is that on today's Sunday pundit shows Trump will be blasted for saying "great honor." I wouldn't make a drinking game of it though—I have to go out later.Donald Trump became the first U.S. president to step into North Korea Sunday, reaching across the demarcation line to shake hands with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and then, at Kim's invitation, stepping across the border and into North Korea -- in a historic moment Trump called "a great honor."
I couldn't pretend to know what's happening, between Xi and Kim and The Donald, but we still have tariffs and sanctions in place.After Trump and Kim met for more than 40 minutes, they emerged together from the Freedom House -- along with Moon -- and walked side-by-side back to the demarcation line, where Trump and Moon bid Kim farewell.
Back inside Freedom House, Trump declared it a "great" and "legendary" day and said they agreed to formulate teams to restart active negotiations for a comprehensive agreement. Trump said Steve Biegun, U.S. special representative for North Korea, would lead the U.S. side.
"We just had a very, very good meeting with Chairman Kim and we’ve agreed that we’re going to designate a team, and the team will try and work out some deals, and again speed is not the object, we want to see if we can do a really comprehensive good deal."
"Nobody knows how things go, but certainly this was a great day. This was a very legendary, very historic day," Trump said.- "I'm a hell of a lot smarter than most of you guys." — Joe Biden, at Jesse Jackson's funeral, March 2026.
- "That's all I do in my life. I make deals. I'm really good at it." — President Donald Trump, Oct. 13, 2025.

Well, Kim got what he wanted: attention.Comment

Trump got good ratings, so Trump got what he wanted. I think Trump likes getting pictures next to Kim because it make Trump look slim by comparison and it's one of the few times where he's not the one with the goofy hair.

Kim (and the Iranians, not coincidentally) see nuclear armaments as the foundation of their rightful place alongside other great powers. Right now the "other great powers" is the United States. At the moment, in a reversal of US policy, Trump is applying substantial pressure on them to fuggedaboudit. Certainly they would never in a million years consider abandoning this project were it not for the current policies. They have to wonder if they can outlast him (6 years+ now), plus the prospect, however slim, that the next U.S. president will continue Trump's pressure tactics.- "I'm a hell of a lot smarter than most of you guys." — Joe Biden, at Jesse Jackson's funeral, March 2026.
