If Trump had diplomats working on NK, then there would be no surprises. They could have ongoing discussions. The table could have bee set and Trump could have had a real conference. But Trump in not serious about governing. He saw this as a Trump avchievement that could be achived by Trump dynamic negotiaiting. He was going to drop in and walk away with Kim capitulation and the end of his nuclear program. Kim was having none of that.
Bingo. Any preparation tells him the outcome with no need for an embarrassing trip.
