(CNN)Donald Trump may enter the history books Sunday as the first serving US President to step foot in North Korea -- but he'll also be handing its dictator Kim Jong Un a propaganda victory.

Despite Trump's efforts to make the moment appear a casual coincidence, it has in fact been well choreographed.

The world woke Saturday to a Tweet from Trump saying: "After some very important meetings, including my meeting with President Xi of China, I will be leaving Japan for South Korea (with President Moon). While there, if Chairman Kim of North Korea sees this, I would meet him at the Border/DMZ just to shake his hand and say Hello(?)!"

The fact is, the President's visit to the highly fortified Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) while visiting South Korean President Moon Jae-in following the G20 Summit in Japan has been an open secret for a while. It's a plan that couldn't be discussed publicly to protect his security.

1. It is a Reality TV

show we have been watching since 1/21/2017. We are now in Season three of this shit show. How many Camera people does he have on the payroll? How much is the Taxpayers paying for a complete TV production operation that is in and around the White House.

This whole G-20,South Korea and 4 th of July is just a continuing made for TV Reelection Campaign Side Show paid for by you and I and others.

2. It seems, purely from this layman's POV, that tRump likely has three

reasons for this. He is doing what Putin wants as part of a grand geopolitical strategy, he is in a delusional search for a Nobel prize, he wants to develop the equivalent of a Moscow tower there. Basically it is Putin who is making the call, while using tTump’s own narcissism against him.

3. He considers all this shit as a free vacation and he can later brag that he knows

every important person and has the pic to prove it.
