Donald Trump is in his friendship era, and he wants to take Kim Jong-Un to a baseball game.

The Republican nominee says he’d like to treat the leader from North Korea to a game as he bragged about their friendship at a rally on Saturday.

Whilst in Michigan, Donald Trump said he ‘got along’ great with Kim when he was President, and he was the first sitting head of state from the US to visit the country in 2019.

But he did bring up what they spoke about when they met, with the celebrity claiming he told the leader to ‘chill’ on the nuclear weapons.

Donald Trump told Kim Jong-Un to ‘relax’

“It’s a good thing to get along not a bad thing,” Trump told the crowd. “I used to tell him, ‘why don’t you do something else?’ All he wants to do is buy nuclear weapons and make them.

“I said, ‘just relax, chill.’ He got enough. He got so much nuclear weapons.”

“I said, ‘just relax, lets go to a baseball game, I’ll show you how to baseball.’ We’ll go watch the Yankees,” Trump added.

But it’s not the first time he’s name-dropped Kim Jong-Un, as Donald Trump brought him up at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Thursday.

“I get along with him, he’d like to see me back too,” he said. “I think he misses me, if you want to know.”

Kim Jong-Un and Donald Trump met during his time in the White House, and in 2019, The Apprentice star became the first sitting US president to visit North Korea.

Trump has praised Kim’s leadership despite the dictator being slammed for being one of the most repressive countries in the world, according to Human Rights Watch.

The former POTUS said in 2019: “I may be wrong, but I believe that chairman Kim has a great and beautiful vision for his country, and only the United States, with me as president, can make that vision come true.”
