North Korea has been treated as one magical unicorn by the media houses all over the world and its dictator, Kim Jong Un has been the center of attention, ever since he came into power. And, the fact that no one really knows much about him, makes his existence even more enticing for people all over the world.
However, no matter how much interesting the entire nation and its situation is for the world, the US has never been able to have a good relationship with them. In fact, the two have been in quite some rift ever since President Donald Trump came into the office.
The two leaders have been in vocal, as well as, social media-induced indirect fights for a long time now, but very recently they decided to put it all behind and make a fresh start with each other.
The two leaders and their teams vouched for a meeting and together they came up with Trump Kim Summit in Singapore where the two would discuss their relations and talk about all that their country needs from the other one. Yes, all of this might feel like one big couple’s therapy session, to some extent it might even be, but in its entirety, it’s not.
This particular Trump Kim Summit is a big deal for both the nations and the world. Adhering to that, the two leaders have signed a “comprehensive” document following a historic summit aimed at the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula. However, there were no immediate details on the contents of the document. This was done post a powerful, iconic and one of the most awaited handshakes the two underwent.
Cut to social media, especially Twitter, and the people who have been keenly watching the entire thing, even those who have nothing to do with it or the two countries of these world leaders.
Nevertheless, people are excited, horrified and confused about the entire thing and many of them are now decoding it on their social media. Then there are some who never miss the opportunity to show their humour off. Here’s how netizens reacted to the entire Trump and Kim Summit.

For anyone saying that Democrats are hypocrites because they aren't thrilled that an American President is legitimizing a despotic tyrant who murders his family members in order to stay in power, please watch this and then kindly f off.#TrumpKimSummitpic.twitter.com/cvuyNUHzDM

My favourite shot so far. Donald Trump couldn't resist giving Kim Jong-un a little thumbs-up after their third handshake #TrumpKimSummit #thumbsup pic.twitter.com/TFH5FYj0Dp

Two ways I could look at this photo:
1) Optimist: "Oh, good! They appear to be getting along, the meeting must be going well."
2) Pessimist: "Trump just gave a thumbs-up to a dictator."#TrumpKimSummit pic.twitter.com/AdvJBj6Tbs

Trump looks jittery, nervous and weak while Kim looks confident and relaxed.
Should workout well for us 😐

Trump touched Kim 9x, initiated all 3 handshakes and even flashed 1 awkward thumbs up.
And I still think we’re at war with Canada

After 45 minutes, Trump just declared that he has an “excellent relationship” with Kim Jong un.

So, what do you think? Is this meeting actually the most ambitious crossover, ever?
