Declares he 'fell in love' with dictator Kim Jong Un over 'beautiful letters'

At a campaign rally in West Virginia, Trump described his relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in romantic terms, telling the crowd: 'He wrote me beautiful letters and they're great letters. We fell in love.' The remarks were a stunning departure from U.S. diplomatic norms, praising a brutal totalitarian leader who oversees a gulag system and had previously threatened nuclear war. Trump dismissed criticism of his rhetoric as 'unpresidential,' framing his personal rapport with Kim as a diplomatic breakthrough.
