TFG told GOP donors that North Korea's Kim Jong Un had ability to make his advisers 'cower,'

jokingly saying he also wants his staff to 'act like that'

Former President Donald Trump spoke glowingly about North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un at an RNC retreat in New Orleans, Louisiana, according to a recording obtained by The Washington Post reporter Josh Dawsey.




Dawsey, in a tweet, said Trump told donors that Kim's advisers were "sitting at attention" when he talked and "cowered" when he spoke to them. Trump added that one general "stood up so fast," per Dawsey's tweet.

"I want my people to act like that," Trump joked, according to Dawsey.

The former president also referred to Kim as "seriously tough" and "absolutely the leader of that country," per the tweet.
