Rodman went on CNN shortly after President Trump met Kim Jong-un Tuesday, where he had streams coming down his face — albeit behind sunglasses — and praised the historic summit … which he’s insinuated he had a role in brokering by softening up Kim. As you might know … Rodman has been the U.S.’s unofficial spokesperson on all things North Korea for a while now — even bringing over a basketball team to the country to get on Kim’s good side. He also claims he got Trump’s book, “The Art of the Deal,” in Kim’s hands. Welp, all that diplomacy seems to have paid off … in Dennis’ mind, anyway.
