The relationship between Kim Jong-un and Dennis Rodman is still good, it’s even worked well enough that Rodman will be attending a summit in Singapore.
After retiring from the NBA Rodman has made plenty of relationships and the biggest one has to be his with Jong-un. As odd is it may seem, Rodman could be the key to prevent atrocities from happening between Korea and the United States. Basketball is a thing in Korea, and with Rodman having a cool relationship with Jong-un it makes things a lot more simplified.
“No matter what you might think about his presence. One thing’s for sure the ratings will be huge,” a source said. “A lot of times in situations that involve complex diplomacy countries like to identify ambassadors of goodwill and whether you agree with it or not Dennis Rodman fits the bill.
The zany, 6-foot-7 ex-baller — who has struck up an unlikely bromance with the pint-sized, 5-foot-7 Kim, and has visited the rogue regime five times in the past — took some of the credit for getting the two leaders together.
In an April interview with TMZ, Rodman said that Kim didn’t understand the president until he gave the North Korean strongman a copy of Trump’s ghost-written book, “The Art of the Deal,” for his birthday in 2017.
I think [Kim] didn’t realize who Donald Trump was at that time, I guess until he started to read the book and started to get to understand him. Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un are pretty much the same,” Rodman told the website.”
According to Slam Magazine, Rodman is an ambassador of goodwill in bringing Trump and Jong-un together to hopefully avoid nuclear war. The Summit is June 12 in Singapore.
