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

IT WAS A JOKE. Geez ... what has happened to Americans that can’t joke and laugh anymore? The little maggot winked at her...and that is funny. She could have potentially ended all hostilities between the Norks and America! (joking!)
lol...I’m sure it was not near as dramatic as the press is making it sound. Sounds like a light hearted moment between work colleagues.
It’s PEAK TRUMP!
What!!? She wasn’t willing to “take one for the team”? ;-)
Pretty funny.
So what ? Considering how vile and hateful these people are, they certainly claim prima dona victim status when anyone says anything about them.
If they are going to sling mud, they need to prepare to get dirty.
I misunderstood. I thought she was criticizing Potus.
So Trump had a laugh.
That photo looks to be seven or eight years and a couple hundred pounds ago. In South Korea it would take some effort to find and gather such a large group of homely young ladies. Korean girls tend to be rather pretty. Maybe not so much in the North, starvation diet and all.
I read the quotes. How people see and interpret things is quite astonishing.
Haven’t heard much from that little pipsqueak ratery.
So obviously a joke. How could one interpret it differently??
Has she no grasp of how this will be used by the Left.
I like the woman, but for heaven’s sake lady.
It was a joke and one a good number of us have made.
It’s a joke to us.
It will not be a joke when the Left tries to damage Trump
with this little factoid.
They will blow out the White House atmosphere to be toxic
for women in the workplace.
Not leaving this “charming story” out was a mistake.
I always say they are the Secular Puritans.
“Trump is a jokester, its what he does”
From the people who I’ve spoken to who met candidate Trump at Liberty University, the man loves a joke more than a Democrat loves power. And he especially loves practical jokes.
You mean the president has a sense of humor? This is outrageous!
That’s hitting on her? It sounds like she misinterpreted it.
