Barack Obama Brushed Off Donald Trump Supporter Dennis Rodman, Forcing ?The Worm? to Call Him Out on Live TV

Dennis Rodman is probably most known for being the original bad boy of the NBA. However, after his retirement, The Worm became a social pioneer. Acting as an unofficial diplomat for the USA, his first visit to North Korea in 2013 set things in motion. Becoming friends with the Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-un, he visited the country multiple times.

Rodman was also a big supporter of having Donald Trump become the next president of the USA. Co-signing on the tagline ‘Make America Great Again’, he became an advocate for the 45th President of the United States. After Trump assumed his role as president, the talks between North Korea and the Land of The Free began to take shape. In 2018, a historic summit took place in Singapore where the two leaders met for a discussion. The two-time Defensive Player of The Year also traveled to show his support.

However, this wasn’t the first time Rodman made efforts to initiate peace between the two countries. Speaking from his heart, the Chicago Bulls star opened up about former president, Barack Obama not giving him the needed time.

In 2013, the political world shook to its core. The eccentric Dennis Rodman took yet another insane step when he traveled to North Korea in 2013 to promote basketball. But in the process, he became good friends with the leader of the country, Kim Jong-un. Speaking to CNN, The Worm spoke of a conversation where the Supreme Leader of North Korea suggested an open mind to negotiations between the countries under certain caveats. However, Rodman’s try to reach Obama failed. And the five-time champion also spoke about his journey to the historic 2018 summit.

As it turns out, Kim Jong-un promised Rodman that he would be open to discussions under certain specific conditions. However, Rodman was ignored when he conveyed those messages to the White House. “And I tried to do that to Obama, and Obama didn’t even give me the time of the day.” he told CNN. “I asked him I said I have something to say from North Korea. He just brushed me off.”

Despite the rejection, Rodman claims to never have stopped believing. He transferred his hope to Trump and the two countries finally met up.
