Trump is all about visiting dictators.

They're the only ones that can give him the grand welcome.

Isn't the problem here that Trump was actually speaking with South Korea and confused a later thought about North Korea?

"South Korean officials later pointed out that Trump had not talked to the North Koreans, but instead had talked to them. So foreign policy experts naturally assumed that Trump had confused the two Koreas."

So now Trump is off on a goose chase thinking he is setting up meetings with Kim.

Meetings which have no basis in underlying agreements.

NK is not going to give up their nukes.

Get real.

If your boy slick willie would have not given them nuke capability, we would not have to be worrying about them...

What?

Trump was talking with officials from South Korea and thought he was talking to those from North Korea?

This is embarrassing.

Right. Because Kim Jong Un is not at all crazy, and totally open to negotiation with Trump, who has zero diplomacy skills. Yeah, that should work.

Thanks for confirming my point. What do you not get about the fact that NK's leader is insane, and that Donald Trump has no diplomacy skills whatsoever. He's a con man, and a dangerous one at that. Wake up.
