During his time in office, former United States President Donald Trump had a rather cordial relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, and he recently revealed his secret to maintaining such a good relationship with the authoritarian ruler.
During a recent rally, Donald Trump explained that he has used sports as an attempt to get Kim Jong Un to “chill.”
“He has a lot of nuclear weapons – I got along with him great. You were never in danger with me as your president. It’s a good thing to get along, not a bad thing,” Trump said.
"All Kim Jong Un wants to do is buy nuclear weapons and make 'em… I said just relax — Chill! You've got enough. Let's go to a baseball game — we'll go watch the Yankees!"

“I used to tell him, why don’t you do something else? All he wants to do is buy nuclear weapons and make ’em,” Trump said. “I said ‘Just relax. Chill. You’ve got enough. You’ve got so much nuclear weapons. So much.’ I said ‘Just relax. Let’s go to a baseball game. I’ll show you about baseball. We’ll go watch the Yankees! Or we’ll go watch Michigan at its home opener.'”
Obviously, Trump has not actually taken Kim Jong Un to a sporting event in the United States, but maybe that will change if he wins the presidency again this year.
