Believe his own words: Trump filmed behind the set talking to Steve Ducey of Fox News, explaining he would like to invite North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un to The White House, because Kim Jong-Un is strong and his people sit up straight and listen, when he speaks, and then Trump ads, “I want my people to do the same.

Wow — show me your role models, and I will tell you who you are.

Release of video may be new, but it happened, & was reported on, in June 2018.

Trump: "I want my people to do the same" at press conference today, comparing North Korean people and Kim Jong-Un today

In a spur-of-the-moment interview with "Fox and Friends," he also declared the DOJ inspector general's report released the day before a "horror show"

@mok0 You’re right. It was an impromptu interview in June 2018 on the White House lawn with Fox News. No hot mic, out in the open, on camera. It was widely reported at the time. I forgot, probably because his egregious behaviour has largely been normalized. He’s been telling us he wants to be a dictator for years. See embedded Twitter video here: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/6/15/17467644/trump-kim-summit-fox-news @randahl @Herman
Trump loves how North Koreans treat Kim Jong Un: “I want my people to do the same”

It’s the latest compliment he’s paid the North Korean dictator.
