Yup. The first Trump presidency is why North Korea is blowing up roads and sending weapons and military units to Russia. Just read the open letter Kim Jong-Un sent to Trump after their Infamous meeting. Kim essentially called Trump a lier and that Kim wouldn't be made the fool again. Trump spent less than 12 hours with Kim and destroyed any possibility of reunification of Korea. Dude is a cancer

What the world must learn is that, in the American system, the word of a sitting president or from his secretaries are worth next to nothing in the medium to long term (ie beyond 8 years) until it passes congress and becomes law. I would say the world is a sucker for believing that promises made by the executive would stick beyond their own terms
