White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders thanked Dennis Rodman for his “positive” comments and being “helpful” in bringing President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un together.
“The president had seen some of your comments over the last several days,” Sanders can be heard telling Rodman on speakerphone in a video of the conversation obtained by Vice News on HBO.
“He just wanted me to reach out and thank you for some of the positive things you said and appreciate you being helpful in this process.”
Sanders made the phone call to Rodman on Monday while both were in Singapore for Trump’s summit with Kim.
Rodman — who referred to Sanders as “Trump’s secretary” in a teary CNN interview — thanked the senior White House official and asked for a presidential shout out.
“When you see Donald next time can Donald say hi to me and say, ‘Dennis, I would love to shake your hand,'” Rodman said while laughing.
I’ll pass that on,” Sanders said. “Today may be a little crazy but we’ll try and do something when we get back to the states.”
Rodman, who called Trump’s press secretary “honey” twice during the call, was enthusiastic about her suggestion that the day would be “a good one for everyone.”

A 'good guy' who, out of the blue, chose to pal around with a ruthless communist dictator enemy of the United States.
A ‘good guy’ who, out of the blue, chose to pal around with a ruthless communist dictator enemy of the United States, halfway around the world.
He was pretty darn naive through much of the campaign in regards to Russia. This was before he received some badly needed "schooling" by some wise, newly appointed folks in his administration, particularly his VP pick, Pence. He said around this time in an interview, [pp] "Believe me. I learned a LOT in the past two weeks". I believe the subjects of the conversation was foreign affairs and foreign policy.
Rodman may indeed have played a significant role in all this.
He is a peacemaker.
I’m going with “convenient dig.” That’s what those low-lifes do.
Made Dennis’s day, I’m sure.
Trump and naive simply do not go together. Relatively uninformed, perhaps, but he went to the well of information before he set out to promote mergers and reorganizations just as he surely does with any business move he has ever made.
Bless his heart. I hope Dennis can stay in recovery and continue to get better and better. What an extraordinary accomplishment he made, in addition to his long list of sports achievements, and in spite of his alcohol problems. Donald is carving a new country out of the old one with the help of patriots. It’s like the political situation in the Colonies, with the revolutionaries vs. the royalists.
Yeah, he has done some strange things, but he seems to have an independent streak, and is able to see though people who are using him. And that's really all that's needed for Trump to break though to the majority of Americans- they need to think for themselves, and not be influenced by people like Robert DeNiro and the rest of the oppressive Democrats.
