Korea for decades. No one disputes that they are the government of N. Korea. No one is unaware that N. Korea is a batshit crazy country. Trump, or any POTUS, meeting with him doesn't change any of these things. N. Korea's standing in the world is exactly what is was during Obama's presidency.
That's not true. Kim has the full support and defense of the American President (supposedly the leader of the free world). This is unprecedented. Kim is now held in higher standards then any of our WWI and WWII allies as well as many of the nations that stood with us against Iraq and Afghanistan. You can't claim it was like that under Obama who Trump claims was on the verge of blowing him off the map.
If Trump is a legitimate president then he's made Kim the 3rd most powerful leader of the world (Putin is 1st), and that is what Kim wanted. To be legitimized in that way.
