EXCERPT:

[clip starts]
TRUMP: "One of the things importantly that Chairman Kim promised me last night is regardless he’s not going to do testing of rockets and nuclear. Not going to do testing. So, you know, I trust him and I take him at his word. I hope that’s true."

CAMEROTA: "He’s not going to do testing of rockets. Not going to do testing. I take him at his word. What does it tell you that the president of the United States falls for what Kim Jong-Un says?" 
MALINOWSKI: "He just seems to be an easy mark for dictators who flatter him. And it’s disgraceful and we can bemoan it, but what's more important is that it’s dangerous. Because -- because men like Kim Jong-Un, and Putin, and Xi Jinping see this behavior and they learn to take advantage of it to do things no other president would allow them to get away with. And, you know, we have got to in the United States Congress, I think we’ve got to act to ensure that the world gets a different sense of what America is about and what we stand for."
