Oh, Trump’s back on the international stage. And what's the welcome gift waiting for him? A neatly wrapped North Korean headache—courtesy of Kim Jong-un. After all, they did share a once-in-a-lifetime romance, didn’t they? At least, that’s how trump described his poetic pen-pal relationship with North Korea’s supreme Leader back in the day. Now, however, it seems Kim’s feelings may have cooled since the whole Hanoi Summit debacle. You know, the one that ended in a blaze of miscommunication and fizzled hopes.

Back then, trump expected an easy win, assuming Kim would hand over his nukes on a silver platter. But instead, trump left with no deal, no photo op, and a long flight home without even a ceremonial exchange of parting gifts. Fast forward to today: Kim’s still got his nukes, his missiles are more advanced, and he’s reportedly eyeing “new horizons.” That sounds ominously like a rephrase of *“How do I make life difficult for the next U.S. president?”*

And what’s Trump’s plan this time? Maybe he’ll send over a new batch of those “beautiful letters” to rekindle their fleeting friendship? Or perhaps another unconventional summit at Mar-a-Lago? It’s anyone’s guess how Trump’s charm offensive will play this time around.

But for now, Kim’s holding all the cards. So, as trump prepares for Round Two of *Kim vs. Trump*, the world will be waiting for that next round of tweets (or Truth Social posts) where trump declares how close he is to “solving” the North Korean issue again. Let’s just hope this romantic reunion doesn’t end in another heartbreak—or worse, a ballistic missile test.
