Trump said, ‘I have a great relationship with Kim Jong-un … I spend a lot of free time with him talking about things that we probably aren’t supposed to talk about.’ Lee, deploying a well-worn strategy by foreign visitors to the Trump White House, talked golf and lavished praise on the Republican president’s interior decorating and peacemaking. Trump also suggested the US could seek to take over land in South Korea, saying, ‘I would like to see if we could get rid of the lease and get ownership of the land where we have a massive military base.’

  1. Dr. Bandy Lee predicted exactly what is happening. There is no amount of power that will sate him; he will continue to try and accrue more power than anyone in the world. He is insatiable.

  2. This is hilarious, we have South Korean a US key ally brown nosing a US president and groveling at his feet, while the US president is making overture to the leader of North Korea. LOL

  3. Of course he does, everyone wants to meet the people they look up to the most

  4. The White House is starting to resemble a Bromsgrove Balti House. All that's missing is red flocked wallpaper.

  5. He wants to schedule another play date with Kim. Their favorite games are hopscotch and Patti cake.

  6. Let's hope they take another selfie because I don't recall anything else being achieved from their last meeting.

  7. democrats shouldn't let kamala compete with this guy
    they gave him an easy component and now look what he's doing on the country

  8. Sk president wants trump to make friend with kim so he could just play golf there!🤣

  9. even the president of the south korea doesnt speak english, at least putin knows a bit..

  10. I googled when Trump’s term would end and was shocked to see it only started in January 2025. Did I already know that? Sure. But it just feels so much longer than eight months.

  11. I had fun with kim we talked about stuff we shouldn't of talked about we both like women on the younger side

  12. what is it with trump with dictators, what these tyrants are doing to their people is devastating

  13. This is a classic Dead Cat tactic. He's under pressure over the Russia – Ukraine situation, wants to create a distraction so drops a deceased cat on the table.

  14. President Lee came from very poor household and had to quit school after elementary and went to work in factories. Where he got injured on his left arm which left him permanently handicapped.
    While working as a factory boy, he studied at night to earn high school diploma and earned among highest college entrance exam at the time. Got full scholarship and became civil right lawyer, fighting for those with less fortunate circumstances.
    Later became a major of a city and became one of the beloved politicians being transparent and engaging with the community.
    After end of last year’s quo by the former president Yoon, who’s currently in jail waiting for trail, President Lee overwhelmingly took S Korean voter support and became current president.
    Since came to office in June this year, he’s been tirelessly working to normalize and improve economic and political downturns. And already has shown big progress.
    Meeting with Trump was a big test for him but he handled beautifully.
    He is a genius politician and a great person. Find out more about him. You’ll all fall in love with him. ❤

  15. Is anyone really surprised by Donald trump meeting up with Kim Jong Un knowing that the Kim Family executed their own people along with Kim Jong Uns older brother and uncle
