As I've said before, Trump didn't follow in his predecessors steps and tried something new.
You think this summit would have happened under Hillary? Real question there.
I don't disagree. But we don't know for sure what motivated this for them.
Certainly could be Trump's heavy handed rhetoric.
Could be that the North Koreans think they can work him because he is so unsophisticated.
Could be timing and NK wanting to modernize.
Could be some combination of all of that. No way to know.

Maybe something good can come of this. I have my doubts. The DPRK aren't exactly known for trustworthiness. And Trump is Trump. This is likely a stunt just to show how bigly awesome the Red Emperor is without actually having anything substantial occur aside from a photo op.
Could it be Trump had the back bone to call NK's bluff by sending B1's to Guam and deploying the first operational F35's to Marine units in SK and Marine amphibious ships off the coast and how about sending (2) Carrier Strike Groups to the Sea of Japan.
Pretty good motivation if he has any sense of self preservation!
