Dennis Rodman's sojourn to North Korea may have displeased those who take issue with Kim Jong-Un's commitment to prison camps and expressed desire to destroy America, but he's found support from at least one sympathetic countryman: Donald Trump.
Celebrity Apprentice on Fox and Friends this morning. Politico notes the key exchange:“You look at the world, the world is blowing up around us. Maybe Dennis is a lot better than what we have,” Trump said of Rodman, who is also a contestant on Trumps’ “Celebrity Apprentice” on NBC, on Fox News on Monday.
He continued: “It’s not an act. but he’s a much different guy and this year on the apprentice — it’s amazing how sharp and smart. Dennis is not a stupid guy. He’s smart in many ways, he’s very street wise.”
If there's anyone who knows and respects the code of the streets, it's Donald Trump.
By "what we have", it's safe to assume, Trump is referring to President Obama. He's never been a fan of the president, even suggesting that the president's reelection was "a total sham and a travesty" — on election night, on Twitter, he said that opponents of Obama should "fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice!" It's a sentiment that would be appreciated by Kim Jong-Un's grandfather Kim Il-Sung, who fought like hell to establish a communist North Korea.The Times reported this weekend, the government isn't interested in debriefing Rodman — the only American to have met the new North Korean leader face-to-face.
Despite questions about the trip and whether the government would debrief Mr. Rodman on his return, a department spokesman, Patrick Ventrell, did not suggest a visit to Foggy Bottom was in the offing.
“We haven’t been in touch with this party at all,” he told reporters Thursday, leaving out Mr. Rodman’s name. “If there are Americans who after traveling in North Korea want to get in touch with us or have something to share with us, we take the phone calls.”
Kim takes phone calls, too, according to Rodman. In an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos on Sunday, Rodman indicated that Kim asked him to suggest to the president that he pick up the phone.

I think Dennis deserves a fair amount of credit here. I know he says he doesn’t but he really did get this ball rolling years ago. And his heart is in the right place.
Should do a dual nomination of Trump and Rodman for the Peace Prize

He sounds like an uneducated moron. I cannot watch him.
