Kim just found a weak-minded, impulsive, and petty man-child. And baited him. He has managed to, in one deft move, legitimize North Korea, and bring this backward, fucked up country into the elite club of "world leaders". By poking at Trump's vanity. NK has wanted this for DECADES. But other US Presidents were savvy at negotiation, or at least had savvy advisors. There is a reason, after all, that diplomats and embassies exist. They do the base negotiations, and drag the other country around to a reasonable stance on common issues, BEFORE you bring in the executives to sign the final paper. You don't get to that table without doing the hard work, first. Unless, of course, you tweet at Trump.
