Trump offered Kim Jong Un a ride home on Air Force One after their second summit, new series reveals

Former President Donald Trump offered North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a ride home on Air Force One after the two met for a second time at a summit in Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2019, a new BBC documentary has revealed.

The three-part series, titled "Trump Takes On the World," discloses new details about how Trump and Kim negotiated North Korea's nuclear program, which eventually ended without a deal.

Trump, who had left the meeting abruptly, told the press at the time: "Sometimes you just have to walk."

But the former president didn't leave without making an unusual offer first.

"President Trump offered Kim a lift home on Air Force One," Matthew Pottinger, the top Asia expert on Trump's National Security Council, told the BBC.

They fell in love according to Trump.

Or would he consider them his property, and hope to sell them at auction for a profit?

and eject the bastard in an escape pod. If Air Force One landed in North Korea, we’d never get it back.

On the bright side, if they had given Kim a lift home, the former guy would probably still be there.
