Dennis Rodman 'will be at the historic meeting between Trump and dictator Kim Jong un'

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5810091/Dennis-Rodman-meeting-President-Trump-North-Koreas-dictator-Kim-Jong-un.html




NBA star Dennis Rodman will be at the historic meeting between Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un next week, sources claim.

Trump and Kim will meet at 9am in Singapore on June 12 - which is 9 pm EDT.

And sources say The Worm, who has famously built a bizarre friendship with the dictator in recent years, will arrive in the country on June 11 and could even play a role in negotiations.

'No matter what you might think about his presence. One thing's for sure the ratings will be huge,' a source told the New York Post.

NBA star Dennis Rodman will be at the historic meeting between Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un next week, sources claim. Rodman befriended Kim during a 2013 trip to the country (pictured during the trip, sat with Kim)

The Onion may have to go out of business because reality is weirder than what it can come up with.

Because it emphasizes this meeting as being a circus as opposed to serious adult time. This gives the press the hook it needs to portray the whole thing as bizarre.

The stigma Trump is building is something we have been fighting against forever. Many of the comments will now be directed toward a black man being a joke.

Trump knows he's not going to get anything done, and that would be a major blow to his ego as well as any chance of getting a Nobel peace prize......so, he's banking on Rodman to bail him out and get a deal done with Kim Jong Un, because of his past relationship with him. Then Trump will be able to turn around and boast about what he was able to accomplish, knowing all along Rodman did the work.
