In his post-summit press conference, a reporter asked Donald Trump whether he took notes in order to verify assurances North Korea’s Kim Jong-un made behind closed doors. “Well, I don’t have to verify because I have one of the great memories of all time,” the president replied. “So I don’t have to, okay?”
That said, he was willing to discuss some of the topics of conversation with the dictator, including Trump’s acknowledgement that he spoke to Kim about beachside real-estate opportunities.
According to the president’s version of events, he used an iPad to show Kim a video prepared by the White House about a possible bright future for North Korea, full of economic development. Trump told reporters:
“I told him, ‘You may not want this. You may want to do a much smaller version of this. I mean, you’re going to do something. But you may want to do a smaller version. You may not want that with the trains and the everything. You know, it’s super — everything the top. And maybe you won’t want that.’
