President Trump said Tuesday that he doesn’t need any transcript or notes from his summit meeting with North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un because he has “one of the great memories of all times.”

When asked by a reporter if he had notes to verify details after the meeting in Singapore, Trump said he didn’t need to.

“I don't have to verify because I have one of the great memories of all time,” Trump said.

Last week, Trump said he didn’t have to prepare “very much” for the high-states summit because he felt the meeting would depend on “attitude.”

Trump sometimes 'felt foolish’ using harsh rhetoric against North Korea

BY MORGAN GSTALTER - 06/12/18 08:55 AM EDT

President Trump said Tuesday that he sometimes “felt foolish” using harsh rhetoric to condemn North Korea and its leader Kim Jong Un but felt he had to do it to bring the countries together.

“I think the rhetoric, I hated to do it, sometimes I felt foolish doing it, but we had no choice,” Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity according to excerpts of an interview to air Tuesday night.

Trump, who once labeled North Korean leader Kim Jong Un "little rocket man" and vowed to bring "fire and fury" on North Korea if it threatened the United States, criticized past administrations for not responding to Pyongyang's own tough rhetoric.

If the North Korean regime did something “very bad and very threatening and horrible,” past presidents just wouldn’t respond, Trump said in the interview following his summit in Singapore with Kim.

5. All the times he said of a person,

"If he/she was in the same room, I wouldn't recognize him." Oh okay, that was just BS, but still it popped in my head.

10. Lol, yes. Whatever Kim was serious about would be in writing.

He's not exactly too ignorant to know what a written contract is. For that matter, even Trump isn't. Hmmmm.

Our agreement to stop our usual conventional-military exercises is in writing, and I'm hearing that's an unwelcome surprise to our allies South Korea and Japan. China is believed very pleased.

And Russia's definitely a winner.

Treason comes to mind.

Funny that.
