“The audacity of Dennis Rodman to sugarcoat conditions in North Korea and normalize Kim Jong Un in order to line his pockets is disgusting.”
Ever since former NBA star Dennis Rodman reemerged from obscurity a few years back for a weird bromance with North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, he’s declared himself somewhat of a peacemaker. Apparently Kim is a huge fan of basketball and enjoys partaking when he’s taking a break from oppressing his entire country.
I think the last time I read about Dennis Rodman he had just been charged with felony domestic battery and convicted in a hit and run, but that’s neither here nor there. He’s flaunted his weird friendship with Kim and even harnessed the power of publicity surrounding the tumultuous hermit kingdom to generate a little income.
Rodman claimed during a recent interview that Kim Jong Un gave him messages to relay to Washington. He refused to reveal those messages to anyone but President Trump. They’re such top secret messages that Kim gave Rodman a very serious warning that he may be in danger for being the middle man.
President Trump hasn’t give Rodman the time of day. In addition to singing karaoke and playing “Horse,” Rodman has called Kim Jong Un “a friend for life.” Based upon a handful of visits to North Korea, Rodman believes President Trump should make him a peace envoy.
He also said that President Trump and Kim are basically the same person and they both love control. I may not be the biggest Trump supporter on the internet, but I would hardly compare him to “little rocket man.” The audacity of Dennis Rodman to sugarcoat conditions in North Korea and normalize Kim Jong Un in order to line his pockets is disgusting.
I’m not sure which is more ridiculous; the notion that Dennis Rodman can be anyone’s peace envoy, or that he thinks anyone wants to read about him horseback riding into the sunset with Kim Jong Un.
Let’s talk about those for a minute. Dennis Rodman is sponsored by PotCoin, a cryptocurrency that allows people to buy marijuana. He’s been photographed wearing their logo whilst traveling to North Korea. He also attempted to make another trip to North Korea, but was rejected due to President Trump’s policy which prohibits American citizens from traveling to the isolated country.
Rodman has repeatedly refused to speak about the human rights violations within North Korea. To the contrary, he often boasts of partaking in lavish activities with Kim. They go horse back riding and watch basketball games together while elsewhere in North Korea, people are starving and suffering in death camps.
Rodman has also recently said that he hopes to visit North Korea a sixth time in order to work on a documentary and book about his relationship with Kim Jong Un. Apparently Rodman is fully willing to rub elbows with a dictator just to stay relevant and continue making money. His self-proclaimed “humanitarian” efforts are just publicity stunts to line his own pockets.
I’m not sure which is more ridiculous; the notion that Dennis Rodman can be anyone’s peace envoy, or that he thinks anyone wants to read about him horseback riding into the sunset with Kim Jong Un. I don’t put anything past Rodman though, he used to cross dress for attention and even wore a wedding dress just to promote his dirty autobiography.
