Dennis Rodman Confirms Plans To Attend United States-North Korea Summit




Dennis Rodman is all for Trump trying to "Make The World Great Again."
This week, United States president Donald Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un are set to meet in a historical summit in Singapore that could potentially set the stage for the denuclearization of North Korea and help improve diplomatic relations between the two nations.
It looks like the two leaders won’t be alone though as Dennis Rodman also confirmed rumored plans to be there at the summit alongside his longtime friend Donald Trump. “To all Americans and the rest of the world I’m honored to call [Donald Trump] a friend,” the NBA Hall of Famer penned in an Instagram caption that accompanied a shot of Rodman and Trump together. “He’s one of the best negotiators of all time and I’m looking forward to him adding to his historic success at the Singapore.” He would fend the caption with hashtags that read, “#MakeAmericaGreatAgain, #MakeTheWorldGreatAgain, nd #basketballdiplomacy—whatever that means.
It’s taken a lot of twists, turns, and tweets for this summit in Singapore to actually materialize. There’s no clear indication as to what diplomatic expertise Rodman can offer, but the connection is definitely there as Rodman has made several publicized trips to the isolated North Korea on various occasions and worked closely with Trump during a 2013 stint on the Celebrity Apprentice.
During the most recent G7 Summit, Trump did express his optimism with the outcome of this meeting with Kim Jong-Un, stating that the North Korean leader “wants to do something great for his people.”
He adds: “He has that opportunity. And he won't have that opportunity again. It's never going to be there again […] He can take that nation, with those great people, and truly make it great. So, it's a one-time—it's a one-time shot. And I think it's going to work out very well.”

What President Trump and Kim Jong Un Ate

The historic summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un continued midday Tuesday, as the leaders satisfied their appetites while holding negotiations with a contingent of advisers over a working lunch. The lunch, which followed a 45-minute one-on-one meeting between the leaders earlier in the morning and bilateral discussion with senior aides, was held at the Capella Hotel on Singapore’s Sentosa Island. It was far from an intimate affair, with each leader accompanied by a bevy of senior staff, according to the White House. Joining Trump were Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Chief of Staff John Kelly, National Security Advisor John Bolton, U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Deputy Assistant to the President for Asian Affairs Matthew Pottinger. Kim was accompanied by Kim Yong Chol , the former spy chief and one of North Korea’s chief negotiators, as well as Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho, former

Snapchat Slammed for Domestic Violence Meme Featuring Rihanna and Chris Brown

If Kylie Jenner ‘s stock-plummeting Snapchat rant didn’t make you delete the app, maybe this will. Over the weekend, Snapchat found itself in hot water after a now-deleted domestic violence meme featuring Rihanna and Chris Brown went viral. The meme, which was an advertisement for the app “Would You Rather,” asked users whether they would prefer to “slap Rihanna” or “punch Chris Brown.” Almost immediately, screenshots of the ad appeared on Twitter, with many criticizing Snapchat for making light of domestic violence. Is it just me, or is this ad that popped up on my Snapchat extremely tone deaf? Like what were they thinking with this? pic.twitter.com/7kP9RHcgNG — Royce Mann (@TheRoyceMann) March 12, 2018 Many considered the ad a mockery of Rihanna’s experience with domestic violence. In 2009, Brown was arrested and charged for physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna hours before she was to perform at the Grammy awards. Since the incident, Rihanna has spo
