President Trump continues to confound the world with his political instincts and his understanding of human nature. He attended the G-20 meeting in Japan, and left Japan and flew to South Korea to meet with President Moon. At some point, President Trump decided to visit the DMZ and tweeted that perhaps there would be an opportunity to meet Chairman Kim at the DMZ and shake hands. This President Trump did, and now that event and that handshake are history. From my vantage point, I believe this handshake was the most dramatic act of diplomacy that I have ever seen. Other presidents and other administrations promised to use diplomacy instead of power to make a real difference in world relations, but President Trump actually did. What a gallant gesture, a Beau Geste for the 21st Century.
