Trump's damning admission to Woodward

Former President Donald Trump during his time in office often boasted about his attempted bromance with North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un, which reached its apex when Trump declared that he and Kim "fell in love." Although the relationship involved exchanges of personal letters, the two men were never able to publicly strike a deal to have Kim dismantle his nuclear weapons program. Kim even once referred to Trump as a "dotard" after he threatened to annihilate North Korea with "fire and fury."

Nonetheless, Trump has remained proud of the coziness that he believes he cultivated with the reclusive autocrat (as well as other dictators).
