North Korea, on the other hand, got a face-to-face meeting with the President of the United States, credibility on the world stage, and acknowledgment of the legitimacy of the Kim dictatorship, which the Kim family has craved for generations. And Kim barely had to leave his own time zone to make the American president come halfway around the world to meet with him.

Heckuva job, Trumpy. If only someone had warned you that North Korea's word was not to be trusted. Well, someone other than the entire diplomatic corps, present and past. Dipshit.
