The way he, and his nation, are viewed by the rest of the world has not changed. The argument about Trump being a bad, and/or widely derided, POTUS rather works against this argument. Trump has no legitimacy to many, his meeting with Kim doesn't affect Kim in a positive way. As far as a diplomatic presence, I'll discuss it when it happens.
No offense to you, but even if you are into foreign policy your opinion of this doesn't come with as much standing as people that have worked in the State Department, on the NSC, or in the White House on the foreign policy teams. The wonks in this field are saying this has made an impact.
