Dennis Rodman Describes The First Time He Met Kim Jong Un | Megyn Kelly TODAY
Пікірлер: 993
I ran into this man in the 90's I was not a sports fan so i didnt even know who he was, he treated me with respect and even paid for a round of drinks for me and my friends. Do you know why, he could tell we were Army guys and respected us. Not many people you meet in life are capable of showing love and respect to absolute strangers not even fans. This dude is 100% real. I think this man is hero and this will go down in history as one of the greatest acts of friendship for the nation of the DPROk.

Very likely that Kim Jong Un and Dennis Rodman spoke in English to one another and he was told to say he couldn't speak English. Facial recognition has proven that Kim Jong Un spent a lot of time in other countries when he was young and even attended a school that spoke in English. This fact alone discredits anything Dennis Rodman says about North Korea and Kim Jong Un.

Also the audience was 99% women. Women have a lower bar for humor and will laugh and find things a lot more funny a lot more easily than men on average. It's scientifically proven.

What is wrong with Kim wearing a Tee Shirt while doing water sports? Judgmental and very low class. Is it because of his physique? His reputation? Kudos to Dennis Rodman for holding up to her questions and answer with respect. I hope he continues his diplomatic efforts.

I have a deep appreciation for Dennis Rodman. Before there can be any real peace leaders and the people of each country need to connect, communicate and slowly develop trust. Dennis definitely has been an ambassador of peace between the US and NK and is helping both countries avert what could be a devastating and even potentially nuclear holocaust. It's so important that we keep our politics aside and do everything we can to be unified on peace.
