Book Reveals How Trump And Kim Jong Un Went From Warmongering To BFFs

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Former Trump White House chief of staff John Kelly played up to Donald Trump’s vanity to defuse tensions between the then-president and North Korean despot Kim Jong Un, according to New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt. Trump’s insulting rhetoric about Kim was “out of control” when former four-star Marine Gen. Kelly first joined the Trump administration in 2017, Schmidt told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on Thursday. Kelly was “incredibly worried” about Trump “publicly goading Kim into war,” Schmidt continued, noting how Trump was unmoved by warnings about mass deaths in North Korea or the potential tanking of its economy. Why don’t you try do that?” “Kelly knew it would never lead to a denuclearized North Korea, but he knew it would ratchet back the public and private rhetoric coming out of Trump’s mouth that could easily spin out of control,” the journalist told Wallace.
