Washington (CNN) - It didn't take a long, long time for President Donald Trump to start bestowing gifts on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The President of the United States confirmed on Tuesday morning that he plans to give a copy of the Elton John hit song "Rocket Man" to the dictator of North Korea, who he met with during a summit in Singapore last month to discuss denuclearization.
"They didn't give it, I have it for him, they didn't give it, but it will be given at a certain time," Trump said when asked about the CD during a gaggle outside the White House Tuesday morning before departing for the NATO summit.
"I actually do have a little gift for him, but you'll find out what that gift is when I give it," he added.

...or may do some other thing. We'll find out what that is when I do it."
He is so vague when speaking as to be incoherent, but he can stil sign his name and so is still useful to his handlers.
