Dennis Rodman: Trump and N. Korea's Kim 'pretty much the same'

12 DEC 2017

Former basketball star Dennis Rodman is perhaps the only person in the world to call both US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un "friend".

The ex-Chicago Bulls power forward -- who has swigged vodka with Kim and been fired by Trump on "Celebrity Apprentice" -- believes the two unpredictable leaders "are pretty much the same people".

"They love control," Rodman told AFP Tuesday in Beijing, adding that warnings of nuclear peril are harmless "entertainment".

"Ain't nobody got no finger on the button."

As tensions grow between Pyongyang and Washington, Rodman, 56, has styled himself as an international peacemaker ready to help strike a deal.
