We all knew it was coming, but it’s still sort of a shock to see President Donald Trump shaking hands with Kim Jong Un in advance of their summit in Singapore.

There’s no denying it: With this handshake, #NorthKorea’s #KimJongUn & @realDonaldTrump have made history. Never before have the sitting leaders of the #DRPK & the United States – still technically #KoreanWar foes – held a summit. #SingaporeSummit #TrumpKimSummit

What a moment. The two leaders exchanging a couple words with each other as they shook hands for the first time — what they said was inaudible. https://t.co/dG55QqDH33

"It's my honor — we will have a terrific relationship, no doubt," President Trump says as he sits down with Kim Jong Un. https://t.co/SBcHAGxnM4 pic.twitter.com/47Jw6TdbNu

Trump, next to North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un: “It’s my honor and we will have a terrific relationship.” Kim says we “overcame our obstacles”

Kim Jong-un heard to say that it was not easy to get to a summit. He said old prejudices were obstacles but we overcame them and are here today. pic.twitter.com/20XoPaQ6vh

Trump delivers on an Obama promise.
Which is not a compliment. https://t.co/izalCtaYz2

Sickened watching people cheer on Kim and treating him just like any world leader while knowing the abuse and death he has inflicted on millions of people.
You are cheering on a man who runs a country full of concentration camps.

Serious question for people who are skeptical but hopeful something/anything good comes out of this summit…what's a potential win for the US?
— Drew McCoy (@_Drew_McCoy_) June 12, 2018
This could have been Obama. This could have been Bush 43. Clinton could have done this with Un's father. None did. This is President Donald J. Trump – the outsider – who has made this happen.

It's an amazing moment and, no doubt, a highlight of the Trump presidency. But it's worth listening to @realDonaldTrump's critics, if only in a cautionary sense: meeting with totalitarian dictators is not the hard part or even the most important part. (Obama met lots of tyrants.) https://t.co/VMQ0ggGbXk
