This isn't a surprise to people who know about North Korea's track record, but Trump refuses to pay attention.
North Korea’s Internet Use Surges, Thwarting Sanctions and Fueling Theft
North Korea has vastly expanded its use of the internet in ways that enable its leader, Kim Jong-un, to evade a “maximum pressure” American sanctions campaign and turn to new forms of cybercrime to prop up his government, according to a new study.
The study concludes that since 2017 — the year President Trump threatened “fire and fury like the world has never seen” against the country — the North’s use of the internet has surged about 300 percent.
The surge has a clear purpose, according to the report released Sunday by Recorded Future, a Cambridge, Mass., group known for its deep examinations of how nations use digital weaponry: circumventing financial pressure and sanctions by the West. Over the past three years, the study concluded, North Korea has improved its ability to both steal and “mine” cryptocurrencies, hide its footprints in gaining technology for its nuclear program and cyberoperations, and use the internet for day-to-day control of its government. https://twnews.us/us-news/north-kore...-fueling-theft
Is he though? He's running a bleak, impoverished prison state, when he has the opportunity to build a better land for his people. I don't think he's outsmarting anybody.

No other president accomplished a pea picking thing with NK and you are singling out Trump? At least he made an effort. GMAB.
