The former White House press secretary revealed the interaction in her forthcoming memoir, Speaking for Myself, which The Guardian obtained and reported on.
Kim Jong-un hit on you! Trump told his press secretary, according to the book. He did! He fucking hit on you!
Sanders said the wink came as Trump and Kim talked about sports, including womens soccer, and she looked up to see the North Korean leader starting at her.

I have no doubt that there is rampant sexual assault.harassment going on in the White House, it's a den if sickos.

Later, in the presidential Beast limousine on the way to the airport, Sanders relayed the incident to Trump and his then chief of staff, John Kelly.
Kim Jong-un hit on you! Trump said. He did! He fucking hit on you!
Sanders, a devout Christian who discusses her faith throughout her book, does not spell out the presidential expletive. But she does write that she told Trump that was not what she meant, and said: Sir, please stop.
Kelly backed up the president and Trump joked: Well, Sarah, that settles it. Youre going to North Korea and taking one for the team! Your husband and kids will miss you, but youll be a hero to your country!
Trump and Kelly, Sanders writes, howled with laughter as the car drove on.

(778 posts)She worked for a man that brags about grabbing women's pussy's, has multiple charges of sexual exploitation following him, has said some rather dubious sexually related things about his own daughters.....she knows all this and yet she chooses to confide in this man re: Kim's actions? And she's surprised by his reaction? That is a special kind of dumb and stupid.
