Kim Jong Un is 'fascinated' by Trump, views him as father figure, new book claims
Fox News ^ | November 2, 2019 | Sam Dorman

A new book claims to shed light on President Trump's relationship with North Korea and what former President Obama said that Trump could expect when he entered office.

Author Doug Wead interviewed Trump on the issue and was able to read some of the personal letters exchanged between the president and his North Korean counterpart, Kim Jong Un.

"Kim is fascinated by Donald Trump. He sees him as a unique figure on the stage of world history. And he wants to make history with him," Wead claims in his book "Inside Trump's White House: The Real Story of His Presidency."

The book, set for release on Nov. 26, comes at a time when the U.S. has improved diplomatic relations with North Korea, but continues working for concessions on the rogue nation's nuclear development.

LOL

I think if Trump were to really get through to Kim, Kim would be assassinated.

Trump did say he got a love letter from the guy.

If you understood Asian culture, this doesn't come as a surprise. Asian culture respects strength while at the same-time demanding respect.

Remember during the GOP debates where all the GOP candidates said they'd launch pre-emptive attacks on NK and Trump was the only one who said he'd use sanctions and pressure China?

Like the older, wiser leader of a much bigger and more powerful tong.

Kim Jong Un is weird enough for this to be true. He might also feel the exact same way about a rhythm guitar player for some obscure band or an anime character. Or not. He is so bizarre that you want to think that he is made up, but show business is completely incapable of coming up with anything as creative as this guy. Truth is stranger than fiction.

It’s amazing what people will believe and what people can get paid to write books about.

This can probably be added to Schiff’s list of impeachable offenses.

The news would be less interesting without him, that’s for sure.

An assembly of world leaders would be a pretty weird bunch of people. He would be a star in that group. Shoot, Trump is weird as all get out. Boris Johnson is weird. Macron is weird. That guy that leads Canada is weird as heck. Erdogan is weird. Merkel is really weird. Anyone who leads China (assuming someone does) is bizarre. Putin, Abe, Assad, and Bibi are about the only ones that aren’t strange, and Putin is borderline.

A nice parallel because Obama seemed to view Kim Il Sung as his ideological father.

Kim has lots of pressures we cannot understand. Wrong move, Kim gets axed.

So true...is Trump the only one that understands this?

I don’t understand Asian culture, but I’m not surprised. Didn’t Milo call Trump daddy?
