President Trump reportedly remarked during his trip to North Korea to meet with Kim Jong Un about how a news anchor on state-run television talked so positively about Kim.
The Washington Post reported the anecdote late Thursday, citing two people familiar with the president's remarks.
Trump joked after watching state-run television that not even Fox News praises him as much as the female anchor in North Korea praised Kim, a source told The Post.
The president also said that the North Korean anchor should maybe get a job in U.S. media, the newspaper reported.

(3,299 posts)I'm getting used to her overly dramatic and enthusiastic delivery. Their is an obsequious characteristic to her sound that one can also hear in historical dramas of the Chosun dynasty period. So it is an official court like demeanor. It also has a quality of veneration that is appropriate for the superlatives that usually pervade her speech.
She is recognized throughout East Asia for her official broadcast news from N.Korea.
S.Korean news programs rebroadcast newsworthy announcements from N.Korea, that's how I became familiar with her. I'm pretty sure Japanese viewers are familiar with her distinctive speaking style even if they don't understand it.
