Foreign diplomacy conducted with the number one goal of raising one's profile at home. When a need to declare victory in foreign negotiations overrides the need to actually achieve any real foreign policy objectives. Daniel Russel, former President Obama's senior Asia Director at the National Security Council, speaking of the upcoming summit with North Korea after NK's categorical refusal to abandon their nuclear program: "President Trump has forged a new category of international relations that I would call 'diplotainment' and the Singapore meeting is going to demonstrate diplotainment at its pinnacle."
The summit is merely Diplotainment, as the President will declare victory even if nothing is achieved.
