''I, for one, am glad to see he is back, and well!''
Some people can't understand that Trump's buttering this fat boy up.
[ZeroHedge] Trump somewhat controversially reacted to Kim Jong Un's Friday public reemergence at a ceremony at Sunchon Phosphatic Fertilizer Factory as follows after a 20-day absence by tweeting, "I, for one, am glad to see he is back, and well!"

Pyongyang has vehemently denied both that the North Korean leader has recently suffered any health complications or that he had heart surgery in the first place. But analysts in the West have since been poring over the photo set released in state media.

For starters, a new mark on his right wrist strongly suggests the 36-year old could have just gone through a procedure. Below are notable photos and new observations being circulated in media reports....

....As we described from the start of our own initial reporting on the matter last month: First, it should be noted that the Western mainstream press often gets North Korea completely wrong ‐ and in the case of the latest speculation a high degree of critical skepticism is warranted further given the initial source for the heart surgery claims was a US state-funded media outlet based in South Korea, the Daily NK website.
[What about that Chinese doctor?]
This appears to have happened yet again. No doubt Pyongyang enjoys when it can keep the outside world guessing and in a breathless state of speculation, only to later have a 'last laugh' when pundits get it wrong.

#3 Trump has to deal with Kim. Can't make a deal if you throw a fit and say i wish he was dead.

Must have been tough though, knowing the left would have fawned all over Kim if Trump had said he hated the guy, but that would have been short term and not helpful to the USA which is where Trump's heart is.
