One thing at a time. The denuclearization is a step and obviously NK won't be fixed over night. Sheesh I get people obsessively hate on Trump, but he really deserves the credit here.

Credit for what? What did he even do?

Lest we forget, it was North Korea that initially reached out and tried to make this summit happen with their charm offensive at the start of the year. Donald Trump didn't suddenly have a change of heart and offer peace, it was Kim that came to him with a suggestion of a summit.

And it's worth noting that Trump is now the fourth president in a row that's signed some sort of a denuclearization treaty with North Korea and so far none of them have stuck. Aside from the pomp and bombast he attached to this one, there's nothing particularly noteworthy about it (aside from, as previously mentioned, the fact that the US - negotiating from a position of strength - somehow managed to give up far more and receive far less in return than previous negotiating sessions).

Even when you have the leader of South Korea say on camera that Trump is to thank for this people are still putting their fingers in their ears and singing "LALALALALA!!!!!!!!"

Of course Moon said that. Are you familiar with Donald Trump? Appealing to his narcissism is the fastest way to get him to do what you want.

Not to mention Moon's party has local elections coming up (as in, today) and he's riding the wave of optimism to what's expected to be a landslide victory. It's as much in his interest to book this as a "win" as it is Donald Trump's. If he has to kiss ass to do that, then that's what he's going to do.
