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.
