North Korea’s authoritarian leader may have found the key to President Trump’s heart: a flowery letter full of flattery. In May, when Trump threatened to cancel his upcoming summit with Kim Jong Un because of the “open hostility” being expressed by the North Korean leader, Kim got out his stationery. Trump liked what he read, and the summit was back on for June 12. “That letter was a very nice letter,” Trump told reporters on June 1. “Oh, would you like to see what was in that letter? Would you like it?” he teased.
