It's from an excerpt from her upcoming memoir. It would be a weird story for her to make up.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...g-un-wink-book
Rather than a tell-all by a former staffer or a burn-all by a hostile family member, the book is a paean to the president by a loyal follower with the subtitle Faith, Freedom and the Fight of Our Lives Inside the Trump White House.
Sanders is from a notable Republican family – her father is Mike Huckabee, a candidate for the presidential nomination in 2008 and 2016 – and reportedly has her eye on a run for governor in Arkansas.
However, somewhat in the manner of leaked sections that took aim at the former national security adviser John Bolton after he turned on Trump, Sanders does describe boorish or misogynistic behavior by the president and senior aides that may make campaign aides wince, particularly as Trump trails Joe Biden among women.
Of the incident with Kim, whom Trump courted assiduously in the first two years of his presidency, Sanders describes a session at the Singapore talks in which the dictator “reluctantly” accepted a Tic Tac from Trump, who “dramatically blew into the air to reassure Kim it was just a breath mint” and not a capsule of poison.
The two men also talked about sports, including women’s soccer. Then, Sanders writes, she looked up “to notice Kim staring at me. We made direct eye contact and Kim nodded and appeared to wink at me. I was stunned. I quickly looked down and continued taking notes.
“… All I could think was, ‘What just happened? Surely Kim Jong-un did not just mark me!?’”
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. You’re going to North Korea and taking one for the team! Your husband and kids will miss you, but you’ll be a hero to your country!”
Trump and Kelly, Sanders writes, “howled with laughter” as the car drove on.
Sincerely,
Thomas Mets
Look at how effective it is for Trump nationally... Biden is surging.

Hillary was right!
I've seen reports of Biden pulling away in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin at the state level.
Trump has eked out an advantage in Texas, and is starting to solidify Ohio, against all reason.
Still, the swing state polls widening for Biden... Trump's electoral path is getting narrower.

Malinowski challenger campaigned for candidate who made bigoted social media posts
The Republican candidate challenging Democratic U.S. Rep. Tom Malinowski in a key New Jersey swing district apologized this week for helping raise campaign cash for a local GOP candidate who has posted bigoted content on Facebook.
Tom Kean Jr., who’s running for Congress in Central Jersey’s 7th District as a moderate Republican with bipartisan credentials, was the “special guest” at a fundraiser last Saturday for local council candidates Jesse Wilson and Joseph Nicastro. Wilson has made several posts to a local Facebook group in which he denigrated Blacks, gays and women — both under his own name and what the Malinowski campaign alleges was a pseudonym.The controversy — which erupted after Malinowski highlighted the posts — shows how difficult it is for Kean to run as a kinder, gentler Republican in the Trump era while also trying not to alienate a GOP base that embraces and sometimes expands on the president’s racist rhetoric.
One meme Wilson posted shows several Black people running out of a Target store with goods, insinuating looting, with the text “Community in Mourning over the loss of George Floyd.”
Wilson also shared a post calling “white guilt” the “new virus in America” and shared a photo of himself with the text “It’s okay to by white.” A post written under the alleged pseudonym, “Jerome Biggums,“ states that hate speech “does not exist” and that “some of us aren’t okay with teaching our kids homosexual history … Some of us don’t care about your pronouns.”
“Some of us want our country great again,” the post by “Jerome Biggums” states.

Because, of course Barr and Trump would do this:
The US has imposed sanctions on senior officials in the International Criminal Court (ICC), including chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda.
And...
Trump encourages North Carolina residents to vote twice to test mail-in system
This one is a crime, by the way. Not that anyone will be held accountable.
