John Bolton says Trump talked about golf, Dennis Rodman with Kim Jong Un
President Trump and Kim Jong Un gabbed about Dennis Rodman and golf during the historic Singapore summit two years ago, according to John Bolton’s new tell-all book.
The former national security adviser recalled the conversation between the two leaders over a working lunch during their June 2018 meeting.
“The opening conversation was light, with Kim’s describing his visit the night before to Sheldon Adelson’s Sands casino and hotel complex, one of the standouts of Singapore’s nightlife,” Bolton wrote in his book, released Tuesday, “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir.”
“Kim and Trump talked about golf, Dennis Rodman, and the US women’s soccer team’s defeating North Korea in the 2016 Olympics.”

The summit capped with Trump and Kim signing a denuclearization agreement.
Rodman’s unlikely friendship with Kim has been well documented. The pair first met in 2013 in Pyongyang when the Hall of Famer was on a basketball trip. They’ve since been spotted together jet-skiing and singing karaoke.
Rodman, who was in Singapore during the summit, wept on live TV over the leaders’ first in-person meeting. The eccentric former reality star later told The Post that the summit was long overdue.
