Maybe, maybe not. I'm guessing the Trump-Kim negotiation went something like this:
Trump: If you denuke, we'll help with your economic development. NK could be even greater than SK! And we'll make sure no one attacks you.
Kim: Sounds good! where do I sign?
Especially since Kim's body language indicates he views Trump as a mentor.
And there is no Alkibiades to come back and save us from ourselves.
