President Donald Trump reportedly made comments about how a news anchor on North Korean state-run television talked so positively about Kim.
According to The Washington Post, Trump joked after watching North Korean state-run television that not even Fox News praises him as much as the female anchor in North Korea praised Kim.
A source told The Post that the President also said that the North Korean anchor should maybe get a job in U.S. media.
Meanwhile, Trump as part of his combative relationship with news media, once again attacked the American press on Tuesday while meeting with Kim in Singapore.
“The press, they never stop,” Trump told Kim.
However, the President changed his regular rhetoric during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity that aired Tuesday night. Trump then told Hannity that some mainstream outlets had been “very good” to him while covering his summit with Kim.
“You know, it was sort of interesting because I noticed some of the press … And I’m not even knocking them, because honestly, they’ve been treating me very good on this subject. What’s to treat badly? But some of the press would say, ‘he’s meeting with them, therefore he had a major loss.’ I said, since when?” Trump said.
Meanwhile, other comments given by Trump regarding his summit with the North Korean leader attracted attention this week.
The Post reported Thursday that Trump remarked during other portions of his trip about how Kim’s guards seemed “tough” and refused to shake hands.
One person who spoke to the newspaper said that Trump was also talking about how the guards could likely take on White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, a retired four-star Marine general.
