Trump Appears at Texas Rally with Former NBA Star Dennis Rodman

  • On Thursday, basketball legend Dennis Rodman joined President Donald Trump at a Peterbilt Motors factory in Denton, Texas, before accompanying him to a campaign rally in Durant, Oklahoma.
  • Trump is angling for another face-to-face meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and Rodman's established ties to the leader position him as a potential diplomatic conduit for the effort.
  • Rodman previously appeared on Trump's reality show, The Celebrity Apprentice, and has visited North Korea multiple times. At the factory, Trump told workers, "The one who knew him best was Dennis Rodman."
  • When asked if Rodman was helping broker peace with Pyongyang, Trump replied he had a "good relationship" with the country, adding, "As long as I'm here, you're not gonna have any problems."
  • President Trump is scheduled to attend the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum next month in China, where the trip could theoretically provide an opportunity to add a meeting with Kim to his agenda.
