If he did he wouldn't be cozying up to other dictators around the world or taking the children of refugees away from their parents here in the United States and imprisoning them in wire cages. Trump wants the photo-op. He wants to be able to claim concessions regarding nuclear weapons even if, as is likely, Kim doesn't follow through with any agreement that they might make. Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize (because Obama got one), and he'll sacrifice anything and anyone to get it - I sure hope the Nobel committee can see what he's doing.
