Trump just cut through the Gordian knot that prevented a potus meeting with Kim for fear of 'legitimizing' his regime. Saw that for the bs that it was and just sliced through it.
For all his faults, which are manifold, at least he is acting like a bloke who recognises that being in the most powerful position in the most powerful nation on earth for a few years, might allow him to actually do something worthwhile in the world, not spend all his time grandstanding and sucking up to his party and entrenched interest groups.
Can't stand his boorishness, duplicity, bullying, narcissism etc. but it's a relief to see someone in politics actually try to do something practical about a severe and intractable problem - whatever his personal motives might be.
If Kim is smart enough to have NK become a mini-China, without democracy or a judiciary that is allowed to find an accused not guilty, but also without nukes, and a ghastly torture archipelago, and least prospering, that will be far better than what the population has now.
