Dennis Rodman cries over Trump-Kim summit while hawking PotCoin. This is 2018.
It was a historic moment many didn't expect to see: President Donald Trump shaking hands with North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un.
And soon after, another stunner was broadcast live on TV: Dennis Rodman crying over the Trump-Kim summit while wearing a red MAGA hat and a shirt promoting his sponsor, the cryptocurrency PotCoin.

As he wiped tears from his eyes, Rodman praised the Singapore meeting as a "great day for everybody" and recalled the criticism hurled at him when he visited the authoritarian state years ago as he spoke to CNN's Chris Cuomo.
"I took those bullets. I took all that. I took everything everyone came at me, and I'm still standing," Rodman said, referring to the hate lobbed at him every time he visited the hermit country known for human rights abuses and toying maliciously with nuclear power. "Today is a great day for everybody Singapore, Tokyo, China, everything. It's a great day. I'm here to see it. I'm so happy."
This isn't the first time Rodman's cried over North Korea. He shed tears while apologizing for his visits to the country during a 2014 ESPN interview, vowing to not return. And yet he kept going back. (While traveling to North Korea last June, he was spotted in the Beijing airport wearing a PotCoin shirt, too.)
Rodman went on to say that the White House called him, noting that the president was proud of him. It was quite a sharp turn from Trump's 2014 diss, in which he called Rodman delusional.

Ouch. What a difference four years makes.
