Former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders wrote in her memoir that President Trump joked in 2018 that she should hook up with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un after he winked at her, The Guardian reported Wednesday.
Sanders’s book detailed that the president teased her, encouraging her to “go to North Korea and take one for the team” after the officials had met Kim during a summit in Singapore in June 2018. A copy of the book, titled “Speaking for Myself” and slated to be released on Tuesday, was obtained by The Guardian.
The former press secretary’s book differs from past releases from former White House employees who have released tell-alls criticizing the president. The daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) praises Trump in her book, which is subtitled, “Faith, Freedom and the Fight of Our Lives Inside the Trump White House."
But Sanders does highlight controversial, misogynistic incidents involving her, Trump and his aides, according to The Guardian.
For the Singapore meeting, Sanders claims she was taking notes when she looked up “to notice Kim staring at me.”
“We made direct eye contact and Kim nodded and appeared to wink at me,” she wrote, according to The Guardian. “I was stunned. I quickly looked down and continued taking notes.”
“All I could think was, ‘What just happened? Surely Kim Jong-un did not just mark me!?’” she added.
The then-White House press secretary said she recounted the incident to Trump and his then-chief of staff John Kelly in the limousine while heading to the airport.

“Kim Jong-un hit on you! He did! He f------ hit on you!” Trump reacted

LOL, people who often laugh generally laugh last.
“Reportedly” - That is fine journalism.
Et tu, Sarah?
JK @ the moment, will wait to see what she has to say.
This will surely take down Trump. /sarc
Oh, the horror!
This was a light hearted moment, nothing devious.
Really, Sarah???? Geesh....IDIOT!
Sounded like it.
She will likely have to make a statement.
Leftists will now buy her book, hahaha.
I doubt she’s Kim Jong Un’s type.
LOL and of course the commie media will never get the fact that Trump was clearly JOKING..Trump is a jokester, its what he does
Sanders wrote that Trump joshed: “Well, Sarah, that settles it. You’re going to North Korea and taking one for the team! Your husband and kids will miss you, but you’ll be a hero to your country!”
She then said Trump and Kelly, who she said backed the president, “howled with laughter.”
The liberals will take this, and run with it, and say it shows that Trump believes in using women to seduce foreign leaders, to blackmail or get his way with those leaders.
AT the very least, the liberals will say it’s part of the War on Women. Liberals who can’t stand Sarah Sanders in the first place, will suddenly express great sympathy for her, and say this experience is a metaphor for the problems of women.
Heck, Whoopi and the girls on “The View” may devote an entire show to this very topic.
It’s good to be the dictator.
Well, I’m sure that Kim is not lacking for female companionship.
Oh the huge manatee!!!
I wish I was in the car for this exchange. It sounds hysterical. Little Rocket Man!
Lol - so much of what the left uses to take down Trump just makes him look like a regular guy people can relate to. Greatest American president.
I'll bet they were laughing hysterically.
