Former CIA Director John Brennan went all-out on the relationship between Kim Jong Un and President Trump on MSNBC Thursday, saying Kim was crafty and “duped” Trump into believing him.

WATCH:

“I think he has very smartly and very masterfully…” Brennan began.

“Un?” asked Nicole Wallace.

“Kim Jong Un, escalated and saber-rattled so that he cold then switch and appear much more accommodating and present a more peaceful face,” Brennan pressed.

The former CIA director stated that Trump had gone from calling Kim Jong Un “rocket man and a sick puppy to honorable and nice.”

Brennan continued to say that Un was “masterful” and that he believes he “quite frankly duped Mr. Trump.”

Three Americans held as prisoners from North Korea returned to the United States early Thursday morning following a meeting between Mike Pompeo and Kim Jong Un to formalize logistics for an upcoming summit between the North Korean dictator and Trump.
