Yes, some would have claimed he was meeting with a dictator and this and that...
But if things went the same way as they did now, and the world knew ahead of time the where and why's - the talk of him being impeached would not have happened, IMO. I personally would have supported the move. Getting them to de-nuke could change the entire area forever. No one would have supported impeachment. Sure, some on the right would scream for such, but I can't imagine many, not if ending the Korean war, ending nukes and inspections, that wouldn't support thus.
Along with "photo op", this one states it was a "participation trophy". Even if the worst case scenario, that they don't follow through with anything at all - then nothing is lost. Outside of many on the left hoping that happens... I really don't see a reason to complain just yet. I don't think Trump is going to get played, and I don't think he'll allow for too much concessions and/or removal of any sanctions or anything like that, not until there are verifiable results coming our way. Start tossing shit, give them a hundred thousand, allow for inspections, and fully, give them a little more. Make them earn it.
And comparing it to Obama and Iran? No thanks. And I truly hope that Trump doesn't immediately give them a shitload of cash, taking away their desire to further cooperate.

Erick Erickson: Obama Would Have Been Impeached for Kim Summit
If Barack Obama during his presidency had a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Republicans would have called for him to be impeached, said writer Erick Erickson.
"If Obama had done what (President Donald) Trump just did, Republicans would be demanding his impeachment," Erickson wrote in an opinion piece on his website The Resurgent.
Erickson slammed the meeting, calling the summit a "participation trophy" for Trump.
"Diplomacy to get rid of North Korea’s nukes would be great. But that’s not what happened. Instead, we gave the North Koreans a considerable PR win in Asia, gave them credibility in South Korea, and came with just a participation trophy," Erickson wrote.
The writer compared Obama’s deals with Cuba and Iran to Trump and North Korea. "Your precious Obama glad-handed the Cubans who have now used unknown weapons to assault our diplomats… but Obama decided he wanted to be friends. So spare me your outrage over Trump," Erickson wrote.
“Like with Obama, President Trump should not have engaged in a glad-handing, face time exercise with the North Korean leader where the communist monster gets a propaganda win of North Korean flags at equal display with the American flag," Erickson wrote.
Trump’s disagreements with the other G-7 leaders before the North Korea summit were also "unacceptable," Erickson wrote.
